In the second video taken by the shooter himself, he shoots multiple times at the woman first. I don't know how she even managed to run after those shots.
ETA: How come nobody saw him while he was pointing his gun at her in the beginning?
When are we going to start taking the mental health of individuals in this society more seriously than we have? We could solve a majority of our issues today if we pulled our heads out of the sand (or our asses in some cases) and confronted this problem head on. This was a sick individual who had no reason to be walking the streets. Surely he had to be enabled by those who surrounded him and remained silent to his state of mind to do so each day. Some very real questions need to be asked now about, not just regarding his private background, but the private backgrounds of his friends and family as well. This goes very much deeper than simply Vester Lee Flanagan ...

I'm pretty sure that this would qualify as a snuff film, correct?
Disgusting and sad.

He was not crazy. This is not an issue about mental health. It is not an issue of anything but hate. He hated the establishment. He felt slighted. In his note he references his thoughts on a killing at the church. He talks about being gay. He talks about not fitting in with any race even being messed with by black men. He was walked from his job he was so angry when fired.
So, we have a bullied,gay,racist man with anger issues. Sounds like 10's of million in the US. This is about hate...not guns.
PS...I counted at least 15 rounds fired. He made sure the two were dead....

Anyone notice that the cameraman is not filming the interview, but filming off to the side?
