A man kicked out of his indie rock band shot three of his bandmates to death in their Brooklyn apartment early Monday and wounded a fourth before killing himself on the roof, police said.
The band members were all from Iran but had come the United States in the past few years seeking more musical freedom. It wasn't immediately clear why the ex-member snapped, police said.
The shooting happened shortly after midnight in a row house in East Williamsburg, an industrial neighborhood home to mostly warehouses where artists can rent cheaper space than in trendier parts of the city.

'Course the homeys were all jihadists and couldn't have THAT kind of thinking around, thus ... ex ... band member.
Now, why did the ex shoot?
Maybe ... just maybe ... he knew something was going down and he stopped it (we DO have hero's that helped the US) ... but because he felt no one would believe him ... he iced himself.
It's as good a story as whatever.
Or how about Jason Everman, fired from Nirvana AND Soundgarden before they made it big so he quit music and joined the Army rangers.
The Wiki page has already been updated to include information about the shooting. I guess that means that you were right.
You’re right.
Talk about “what ifs”!
There are some talented Iranian musicians on the rock scene

But there are no Brian Epsteins in Iran.
And probably no Billy Prestons. :-)
I wonder if he was the fiddle player......
But they will still SHOW UP TO vote democRAT for the next 30 years!
Well, Joy Division was originally called Warsaw.
A new musical genre? Muslim Death Rock.
So double LOL to your post. 8~)
“Or how about Jason Everman, fired from Nirvana AND Soundgarden before they made it big so he quit music and joined the Army rangers.”
No only a range but Everman went on to become Spec Ops and ride horses with tribal alliances in Afghanistan.
Not too many Iranian, indie, rock bands. Now, there are even fewer.
What band, the Dead Kennedys?
~rim shot!~
So now they’re a blues band?
Immigrants used to have to prove their good health in order to come here legally — as well as their ability to get a job so that they would not be on public welfare.
