Sounds like a single shooter. An 18 year old kid with German and Iranian citizenship. Early reports are the guy had no links to a terror group. But that he had some sort of mental disorder (obvioulsy).

I guess the days of just taking yourself out are over. Everyone wants to make a head line.

While I've agreed with most of what you've posted here I don't agree with your "obviously". Violence does not equate to mental illness, and we do those you do struggle with mental illness a huge disservice to assume it does. Far more violence is due to plain old anger and frustration in people who never developed better ways to deal with it, often fueled by alcohol or drugs.

If you are willing to walk outside of a mcdonalds and start shooting and target children, you have some sort of mental disorder. The rational brain does not work that way.

Human behaviour is far more complex than "rational vs irrational", and assuming that everyone who is violent has a mental disorder lets those who are violent due to normal human emotions like rage and jealousy off far too easily.

I'm not giving them and excuse to fall back on. It's none thing to be a mass murderer. It's another to want to target children as some reports are saying.

I agree with you that behavior is more complex that rational vs irrational. But there has got to be a mental deficiency somewhere when someone does something like this.

I didn't want to speculate as it was going on, but when reports said the shooter targeted kids, I suspected he was a neo nazi (based on the Norway nut job) ... But how did he get weapons in a country with some of the strictest gun laws in the world?

Thats what the police chief said about it...they will use high technology to recover the guns number...cos its not visanle and will see how he got it in the first place
And he has 300 bulllets too in his backpack..and thats alot of ammo to buy withouit lisence

The fact that it was the anniversary of Breivik does make me suspect some kind of link there

18 year old from Germany

Any further info? A disturbed youth? Just someone trying to become infamous or someone with an axe to grind?

Iranian heritage so assume radicalized

That's a bit of a jump.

You may be correct in the end but...pretty bold assumption.

I'm not radicalized.

I was wrong, but I don't think it is that much of a leap especially in that location, but yeah, I was wrong.

It doesn't have to keep happening

Same way that illegal drugs end up in your country ... smuggled, and with open borders.

The greek young man died was 17 years old
He try to protect his sister so he got the bullets
Even worst is when his dad heard about his death he got a heart attack and now he is fighting for his life in the hospital

I've read the same, dimi.

Also have to say - and forgive me if the words don't come out as I intend - but as a woman of the same heritage (mother is Persian, father was German), aside from my sister, I've never known anyone with the same make-up.

It is a mightily strange, sad feeling to have this unwanted bond to this obviously fucked up kid.

I'm hearing all but 2 of the people killed were teenagers.

This lunatic may have lured young people there with a fake ad for something on facebook.

Yes, I read free food at McD's posted.

Wish the lunatic had stayed on the grass.
