Post by: Lennyjoe on April 10, 2023, 11:07:18 AM

Looks like a single shooter at a bank. 

Story still evolving.

Apparently it was a former employee that was getting fired.  Guy streamed the shooting on social media but I havent found it.

It has been confirmed by the police he live streamed it on instagram but it got scrubbed almost immediately.

Confirmation that the gun was an AR-15. Also an update that he had NOT been fired from the bank, he was still an employee. And it seems clear that he was intent on committing suicide by cop.

I'm old enough to remember when people who wanted to commit suicide just went out and shot or hung themselves, or stuck their head in a gas oven. Unfortunately, I think we have the Internet, Facebook and Instagram to thank for the recent compulsion for people who want to kill themselves to take a lot of people with them.

Was this guy a charter member of ActBlue or something? Story seemed to get zero traction nationally.
