We only know the killer was a white male.

What else do we need to know?

Can’t pray for the dead.

This is a senseless tragedy, and it is heartbreaking. As another poster said, it’s going to get worse.

Don’t flounder, make sure Christ is your foundation and pray for his will to be done.

He’s upset for the children, why don’t you take a breath and possibly attempt at being a decent man.

The Number of Murderers and Murder Suspects With the Middle Name ‘Wayne’ Is Insane

On the topic of infamous murders, few are wider known than serial killer John Wayne Gacy, the “killer clown,” who murdered almost three dozen boys and young men during the 1970s. Then, of course, there’s Elmer Wayne Henley—quite a bit lesser known than Gacy—who was sent to prison in 1974 for the spree of murders he committed alongside Dean Allen Corll. Then there’s Monty Wayne Lamb, serving a life sentence for a triple homicide in Dallas. And Alexander Wayne Watson, Jr., convicted of killing multiple victims.

We think you see the pattern: They all have the middle name “Wayne.” It seems coincidental, but “Wayne” turns out to be a really common middle name for both convicted (and alleged) murderers. So much so, in fact, that News of the Weird‘s Chuck Shepherd kept a running tally of them through 2008; and as of now, his list of killer Waynes has 223 people on it.

Shepherd does have a number of disclaimers attached to his list. For one, he notes that the list includes those convicted of and charged with murder, admitting that some of the men might, in fact, be innocent. Like Anthony Wayne Grimm, who was acquitted of a 1994 murder back in 2004. (These days, we gather, he’s just going by Anthony Grimm.)

Also, Shepherd’s list only focuses on murderers whose crimes and convictions made the news. That there are still over 200-plus murderers whose middle name is “Wayne” is an alarming statistic.

More recently, an article for Freakonomics discussed what has become known as “the Wayne theory,” and the Sword and Scale podcast did some investigating of their own, calculating that 0.41 percent of convicted murderers have the middle name Wayne.

“Having no other basis for comparison, [we] cannot arrive at the conclusion that murderers are more likely to have the middle name Wayne,” said podcaster Heather Sutfin of the findings. “But when our calculations—based on what data we have available—reflect that roughly half of the population having Wayne as a middle name has been convicted of murder, it certainly makes you wonder.”

What folking genius didn’t order the place stormed and the children saved?

The suspect accused of shooting an Orlando police officer in the face and holding four children hostage for nearly 24 hours killed the children and then killed himself, police said.


They just could not write a clear headline, could they...….

Both strategies have worked, and both have failed. Law enforcement can only go by how they are trained to react, not based on the emotional response (which supports going in hard).

I was hoping that some LEO didn’t inadvertently gun them down.

The headline makes it sounds like the police killed everyone.

It was never about the kids for him. It was about him and hurting others. He knew that harming those kids would cause grief. If he couldn’t be happy and the center of the world no one wold. Extreme narcissism.

Funny how filthy pigs like this always seem to have three names.

Almost everybody has a "middle name". We just don't use them very much. It gets used when someone is arrested, to distinguish the suspect "John Wayne Smith" from most of the other "John Smiths" in the community.

Post-birth. Before that, the kid's worst enemy is mama herself.

I am a firm believer in demonic possession - overwhelming whispering in the ear.

Too many of these are textbook now. Man kills pregnant woman. Woman kills all of her children. Man kills all of his children. Man kills wife/girlfriend.

While I do believe in mental illness, I also believe these demons mimic it or capitalize on it.
