“$5 million gambling winnings from casino video games?”
He wasn’t rich, but his life was leveled to gambling. He would go on a cruise and sit at a video poker game playing $100 hands. He was listed living in a retirement home he scarcely went to and was working as a real estate investor with property at the moment in Reno.
This was not a young man and an eccentric at that. There is nothing more newsworthy because there is nothing there to sell papers. After they got past the point of the deaths, and the cache of weapons, of which he had more at the home, the story came to a dead end.

Older man with no life and nothing for him, no family, and no real friends, just gives up on life, gets his 15 minutes of fame, and shoots himself. Anyone could have done it. He is not a big deal as a person, so he went away.

You should contact the FBI and send them that, save them a lot of work.
> Older man with no life and nothing for him <
The exact kind of man who lives out his life in a +50-year old community with an Asian girlfriend.
I so agree with you.
Wondering if they have done an autopsy of shooter’s brain, or if the self-inflicted gun shot through the mouth destroyed any chance for a diagnostic image of the brain. Did he have a brain tumor? There is so much to study.
There was a report that his self imposed *scrub* of years and years of his life, purposely leaving next to nothing as a life trail, when put together with his compulsions to play eight to ten hours a day at gambling, treating it like a *job*, and his understanding of “math”, could make him a candidate of a high functioning case for Asburger. (No clue how that word is spelled, btw..)
The guy was not normal and hasn’t been for years. The father who was diagnosed as a psychopath and this guy himself totally a mental case. It could all be that simple a tumor?
