Yep. There was a similar case in the last week in Pa. The cops shot him dead after he killed two, including a 2 year old, and critically wounded another 3 people. It’s truly sick.

He heard the voices, he’s a victim of society. He must help punish society.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the ACLU goes after the police.

I saw on FN, the perp had 3 prev felonies (and who knows what else). This is why felons belong in the big house, not on the streets.

(Dems want to give felons the vote, as we all know and gag over.)

That could happen too, they will probably find support from leftist politicians too.

AN earlier report said he shot himself in the leg. Better it should be suicide, save the victims and the state a trial.

God bless the police, EMS responders and all involved in bringing this to an end. And God bless his victims and their survivors. It was a very sad situation with 2 kids killed.

This was seriously one of the most intense events in GR’s history.....

Perhaps since the Linda Vanderveen kidnap/murder back in 1979....

With a name like VanDeKoik, you must be a native!

Perhaps they should also have "ski" appended to the end of their name, just to make sure all bases are covered!!

Maybe it’s because people have became weaker with all the socialism and dumming down?.
Seems like everyone wants a hand out now days.
