Multiple eyewitnesses and employees at Excel Industries identify the shooter as Cedric Ford, 38, an employee at the company in Hesston. Ford lived in Newton.
According to Florida court documents, he was charged with multiple crimes in his history, including burglary, grand theft, fleeing and eluding and other charges dating back to 1996. Ford was also booked in Sedgwick County in 2008. Eyewitness News has not confirmed the charges in the Sedgwick County arrest.
His Facebook page says he was a painter at Excel.
Probably a Muslim convert in prison. My guess.
Aha... lead-based paint did this to him. We need to shovel a few billion bucks into disadvantaged neighborhoods so this doesn't keep happening! (climate change of course is a contributing factor).
