Apparently he only worked there 2 weeks. Very strange and sad story. What the hell is going on latetly?!
Why does the media always do this? It's two dead. Not three dead. The shooter is no "casualty" in my book .

Typical press "He was a bullet proof vest, seems like a copycat of the tragedy in Colorado."

1. He killed himself vs trying to flee when caught
2. A quiet supermarket in the middle of the night vs a packed movie theater
3. Shot two (too bad), vs the many in Colorado.

Nice reporting.

I was just there a couple weeks ago. Scary for something to happen so close to home

And if you can't find him/her, then it might be you!

If there is any silver lining at all to this story, it is that he turned the gun on himself after he killed, unlike Mr. Holmes of Aurora, who is still with us.

The economy. I think it is as simple as that.

"Had an AK-47 and semi-automatic gun"

both guns are likely semi automatic ......as full auto is illegal without unique permission and a lot of gunsmithing. AK repros are all semi automatic, meaning one shot per trigger pull. Same as a cowboy revolver, one pull, one shot.

To clarify; when AK47 is mentioned in the news it does not mean that firearm was fully automatic. If it was that would be news.

now..... continue with the inevitable gun control tirade
