Yeah that is what it sounds like to me also. He just snapped.

Something smells wrong about this.

Was he just diagnosed with something short term terminal?

Medical conditions as a precipitating factor would definitely be something they would look at. Whether it be a reaction to a diagnosis or an unknown medical condition which effected a drastic behavioural change. The “jocks and sorority” writing seems out of place for a man his age. That seems more consistent with teens and college age kids...unless this guy had held on to some past problems for a very long time.

Of course all angles are open, politics, personal grudges (whether real or perceived), insanity, etc.

Very sad for the victim and family.

Very sad for the family. My condolences.

An earlier thread said that our counterparts at Daily Kos and those leftist sites thought the guy went to Dem. headquarters because he was riled up by Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.

He might have been passed over for a promotion by a younger person with a college degree. That might explain marking up the personnel door. jat

I shopped there last week. Most of his co-workers appeared to be of college age.

Either that, or he just went plain old nuts. Getting onions on his burger at lunch could have set him off at this point. When you are crazy enough to fragrantly spray paint dirty words on the walls at work you are in a psychotic state. This guy stormed into an apparent stranger's office and murdered him. Getting passed over for a promotion is certainly not cause a reasonable person to behave this way.

Boy, we seem to be moving forward in America when people with college degrees are working for Target.
