A shooting in a California office building on Wednesday has left 4 dead including a child and 1 wounded. Police arrived and engaged the suspect, wounding him. He has been transported to hospital and will be formally charged once he has been treated. Police do not yet know the motive, and have no yet released which of the businesses inside of the office building were targetted, nor why a child was present at the time of the shooting.

Geez, another one...and a poor child dies this time :(

Edit -- article has been updated with a bit more information, the Gunman was a 41 year old idiot who got fired from one of the businesses at an earlier point and decided this was the best possible response. He has since died from his injuries.

So this dude felt he was wrongly fired and had nothing else to live for. Yikes. I feel like because of the COVID crap, a lot of people have been getting laid off/fired and I am shocked I haven't heard more stories like this. I get being angry... But killing people?... Shooting a child which had nothing to do with you getting fired?... ffs

Damn, he died, was hoping he'd get to rot in a cell for the rest of his life. Agreed, I have no idea how people can get it in their minds to go and kill people because they got fired. I mean willingly taking a life in general is beyond me, but over something so damn petty? You can find another job, but you can't give a life back...can't get your own back, either once you do this stupid shit.

Who knows, usually in cases like these, this is kind of the final straw. He likely had a sting of bad things happening in his life and losing his job made him snap... Or something happened after getting fired and he blamed them for it. Hard to say what was going on in his mind and it is too late to ask.

Sadly so very true. One bad string of events and you've created a madman. I wish more of them would survive, though, honestly, at least there's a chance for some answers if they survive...and then they can rot away in a cell for the rest of their days. Away from life, away from society, and constantly having to watch their back. It's a fitting fate for people that can do this.
