| Interesting to see someone whose decision making is so disordered that they manage to carry out a shot from 200 meters and then disappear. That looks more like a carefully planned crime than madness. |

| I keep seeing this. Why do people keep making the point that if you can make an accurate shot from 200 yards with a rifle that makes you a sane person? |

| ▲ | johnnyanmac 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | We're mixing sanity with belligerency. Someone in the heat of passion doesn't plan out a 200m shot, alongside an escape route. I think that's the mixup. You can be insane but still perform some very calculated plots. | |
| ▲ | drewbeck 4 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | People generally use really crude (and incorrect) heuristics when judging others. "He was a family man/good christian/nice to me at work/etc, I don't know how he could have murdered his family!" Mental illness gets it even worse b/c most people don't have any good framework for understanding it. |

| 200 meters isn't that far of a shot if you are familiar with shooting or a hunter. I regularly take down deer at 200-300 yards. The shooter is also in custody already and captured thankfully. |

| ▲ | thephyber 5 days ago | parent | next [-] | | There are still conflicting reports about whether the shooter is in custody. The first person of interest was detained, but released. FBI director says a suspect is in custody. That governor says a person of interest is in custody. Local police say the shooter is still at large. This is what Reuters was reporting as of 1 hour ago. | |

| Mental illness does not imply the lack of any ability to plan things out. |

| That they didn't account for drop and hit the neck shows that they weren't in fact very competent. |
