Sounds like they have a "Spree" Shooter\Killer on their hands.

Similar to the pair that was haunting Washington DC???

apparently just another mentally ill person, he was found with self inflicted gun shot off of the interstate somewhere


feels like its litigation related, someone didnt like the outcome of their case,,,

All killers are mentally ill in some way or another.

thats a whole other debate,,lol

It's the truth. All most all serial killers have been diagnosed with some form of mental illness. *I lerned that from Criminal Minds Who says television isn't educational *

Shooter was 73 yr old man, last name of Dyess!

thats a bit more accurate sounding,, ALMOST all 'serial' killers

as opposed to ALL KILLERS
