I have a couple of questions,
Why does everybody feel the need to make sense out of a random event?
Anyone who was not born yesterday should have leaned that in life sometimes very bad things happen and there is no rational explanation for it.
Sometimes bad things happen & evil people do terrible things. PERIOD!
There is no way to justify it, there is no way to keep it from happening again, there is no way to predict it, there is no way to rationalize it.
Random evil in a chaotic world.
People who think there is a conspiracy behind everything either:
A. Doesn't understand how the world works.....or
B. needs to get a life and get out there more.

Don't worry about it. These posts are all random too. Just enjoy the ride.

My take on this situation on the information we have is this teenager(that's what he is) couldn't distinguish reality from fiction anymore. His friend has come forward and said that he became withdrawn into the video game World of War craft. I met a Sheriff from L.A. about a month ago(randomly) and he explained to me how is son started stealing and on drugs to play the game. This is the second person I have come to have information about having issues with this video game. So I wonder is this video game sending subliminal messages to people? I think this game needs to be looked at in full detail. I have read many stories online of perfectly normal people getting lost in this game. There has to be something in the video game causing people to become so addicted to it and losing reality. My hunch there is subliminal messages going on the game.

Twisted words is right. Not your post, but your chosen name.
WoW has had millions of players. 12 million at one point, excluding Asia I believe. I played it for 5 years, many people have played it. Either your a troll, or you aren't capable of thinking except in the form of generalizing with very poor conclusions.

No. Video games don't trigger people the kill other people.
Music or Movies don't either.

Exactly...
Blaming games, guns, music, etc., etc, is just a cop out for what lies beneath the issues at hand.
If someone if effected negatively by a fantasy, such as an MMORPG perhaps they already had underlying problems. The games are NOT a cause.

There's no such thing as a random event. There's causality behind everything. That's how humans learn and progress. THIS is how you understand how the world works, by understanding causality.
Dismissing something as just "evil" is what they did in the dark ages when they thought schizophrenics were demon possessed. Its also a very convenient reason for people to not take responsibility in finding solutions to problems.
Her quote to me was, "I showed up 14 minutes after shoots were fired, just in time to begin pulling bodies out of there."

I hope you for the best.
If it's not too much to ask for, can I see the picture that you've claimed is the guy that's the shooter?
Not to say I don't believe you, just to for myself the intention of the person.
They say that a person that is perceptive of Auras can see the person's intention, feeling, and what he or she is going through.
This is my opinion. And thanks.
