JUNE 7 IN SANTA MONICA, CALIF. John Zawahri shot his father and brother before continuing the shooting spree on the campus of Santa Monica College. Three more were killed and three others injured.
PARAMUS, New Jersey (AP) — A 20-year-old gunman intent on dying fired multiple shots inside New Jersey’s largest shopping mall, trapping hundreds of customers and employees for hours as police scoured stores for the shooter, who was found dead early Tuesday of a self-inflicted wound, authorities said. There were no other injuries. Investigators don’t believe Richard Shoop, 20, intended to shoot anyone when he began firing at the ceiling and elsewhere Monday night at the Garden State Plaza shortly before the mall’s closing time, Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli said. “We think he went in with the intent that he was not going to come out alive,” Molinelli said. He said Shoop was known to authorities and had a problem with drugs, but he did not elaborate. The prosecutor said Shoop left an ambiguous note with his family. While Molinelli would not call it a suicide note, he said it did “express that an end is coming. It could have been prison. ... It could have been what he did last night. It gave his family reason to reach out to us.”
AFTER LAX SHOOTING, OFFICIALS STUDY FLORIDA POLICE ALLOW VOLUNTEERS SHOOTER’S VIEW OF U.S. GOVERNMENT TO CARRY GUNS AFTER SHOOTING LOS ANGELES (AP) — Federal investigators probing what motivated a gunman to shoot security checkpoint workers at Los Angeles International Airport are looking for connections to a long-circulated conspiracy theory that the U.S. government is preparing to oppress citizens under a totalitarian state. The FBI got a warrant Monday to search the cellphone of alleged gunman Paul Ciancia for materials reflecting his “views on the legitimacy or activities of the United States government, including the existence of a plot to impose a New World Order,” according to court documents. Ciancia, a 23-year-old unemployed motorcycle mechanic, got a ride to LAX on Friday morning with a roommate, walked into the airport and began targeting Transportation Security Administration officers, according to authorities. By the time LAX police officers subdued him with several gunshots, one TSA officer had been killed and two others injured.
JULY 26 IN HIALEAH, FLA. Pedro Vargas killed six neighbors after setting fire to his apartment complex. A SWAT team shot and killed him. SEPT. 16 IN WASHINGTON D.C. Aaron Alexis killed 12 people at a Navy Yard before police shot him.
SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — The police department in the Florida city where Trayvon Martin was killed said while it recommends that neighborhood watch volunteers not carry weapons, it won’t formally prevent volunteers from doing so. Sanford Police Chief Cecil Smith said the program will better train participants, but it won’t infringe on someone’s constitutional right to carry a gun. Smith spoke Tuesday to clarify the agency’s policy, days after the department said it would work to ensure volunteers weren’t carrying weapons. Smith said anyone who carries a gun can still participate in the neighborhood watch program, and no one will be asked if they have a concealed weapons permit. But block captains will be required to sign a waiver saying the city will relinquish liability if they decide to carry a weapon.
