Actually that is true. Freakonomics, the documentary explained why. I cannot explain without discussing politics so will leave it at that.

I hope the witness survives. He is at Maricopa hospital.

Wow, I don't feel any remorse for the shooter, but feel awful for those others he shot. I too hope the witness survives.

It is domestic. The dead are his girlfriend, her daughter, the daughter's boyfriend and her granddaughter, the toddler.

My friend used to work with J T Ready as a parts driver for Brown and Brown Chevrolet. He said he was crazy back then.

Well, they're neo-nazis so they were either going to blame it on Mexicans or Jews.

Apparently the "survivor" wasn't a witness to the shooting itself. She was in a bedroom of the house, heard the shots, came and found the bodies, ran to the neighbors. The reference to a survivor at MMC is, I think, to the toddler, who was transported there based on some signs of life but declared DOA.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the four beautiful souls that are now in God¹s hands. We pray that He accepts them into his kingdom and that He grants comfort and solace to the friends and surviving family.
I find it a bit ironic that Pearce blathers on about what a good man he is then ends the statement by praying for the souls and the families of four of the five dead. And half his statement is about how the mean media pestered him all day. Gee, what an inconvenience. Aren't you unemployed, anyway?
