Paul Schrum wanted to see X-Men: The Last Stand, but his wife wasn't interested in the film. So on Thursday evening -- which is her night for mah-jongg with friends -- he hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, and headed off to a multiplex up the road in Owings Mills.
When hours passed without his return, Rona Schrum went looking for her husband. It was after one in the morning when she pulled into the movie theater parking lot and saw his car -- and many police officers.

In what police described as a random attack, Paul Schrum, a 62-year-old medical supplies salesman from Pikesville, was shot dead while watching a movie at Loews Valley Center 9 in Owings Mills. About 20 minutes into the film, police said, the gunman stood, told everyone to get on the floor and fired four shots.
The man then walked to the lobby, placed a handgun containing one unspent round on a counter and told theater management that he had shot someone. He waited for police to arrive.

The suspect is a 24-year-old man, a 2000 graduate of Mount Hebron High School in Howard County and a 2005 graduate of Loyola College, where he majored in biology. Mujtaba Rabbani Jabbar's family home is a house valued at more than $1 million in one of Baltimore County's most affluent neighborhoods.

She returned home shortly before 11:30 p.m. to find her husband's car missing. Around 1:30 a.m. she drove to the theater. She spotted her husband's Chevrolet Malibu, parked beside it and approached a police officer.
"This is my husband's car. He went to the movies and never came home," she says she told the officer.
The reply, she said, was: "You must be Mrs. Schrum."

He has been charged with first-degree murder. He was being held without bail at the county detention center. A search of court records showed nothing more than traffic violations for Jabbar.
Jabbar's address is in Anton North, one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in Baltimore County, with million-dollar mansions hidden by trees and at the end of long, twisting driveways. A list of residents includes Baltimore business names like Frankel and Luskin, and former Blue Cross/Blue Shield Chief Executive William L. Jews.

I am posting this for the FR record, as the local coverage is denying that anyone knows the motive of this killer. Could his name and age, and the names the newspaper reporters chose to use to describe the neighborhook where this man lived be a clue!!!
Hint: it is an area of the county where many Jewish people live. I am just guessing that Mr Jabbar does not go to a synagogue.
I wonder why the reporters decided to name neighbors of this killer? It just gives me a feeling of serious prejudice at the Sun. They hid the name of the killer in paragraph six of their report.
It's very odd that they would name the killer's neighbors. Who cares? Saying he lived in a wealthy neighborhood would have sufficed as background detail.
I wonder if we have another well-off, well-educated adherent of the death cult carrying out his personal jihad? Of course, he could just be a nut who had no motivations other than nuttiness.
--Obviously a Godless Darwin worshiping atheist
There is help available. Don't be afraid to speak to a professional.
He is most likely a jihad wannabe. And a serious coward. And mentally ill.
Maybe he felt 'threatened' by his years on a Jesuit college campus, surrounded by girls, dressed provocatively. Oh, the horror!
Look again at Paragraph 6:
The suspect is a 24-year-old man, a 2000 graduate of Mount Hebron High School in Howard County and a 2005 graduate of Loyola College, where he majored in biology. Mujtaba Rabbani Jabbar's family home is a house valued at more than $1 million in one of Baltimore County's most affluent neighborhoods.
Actually, they only say that Mujtaba Rabbani Jabbar lives in an expensive house. They don't get around to calling him the "suspect" until Paragraph 7.
More accurately, an Islamic cutthroat.
The circumstances and mind set of the jihadwannabe reminds me a lot of the jihadi at UNC in Chapel Hill who tried to mowed down students with a rented SUV.
Prayers for the victims family.
(sarc)Mennonite? Southern Pentacostal? Couldn't have been one of those "ROP" types could he?(/sarc)
Either way, this is what happens when people don't carry arms for their own defense. If this guy had gotten return fire instead of frightened compliance, Mr. Schrum might still be alive.
Noticed that. Probably going to be more of these in the future.
So, poverty isn't a reason why young men become jihadists? After all, OBL was born into great wealth.
This shooter did not face his prey. He shot him from behind.
This is the Peoples' Republic of Maryland. All but the priveleged and politically connected are disarmed.
Reason #1 why I carry concealed.

So sad how the wife found out.
Prayers for this family.
