Illinois bowling alley shooting: US Army member charged in random attack
NY Post ^ | 12-27-20 | Lee Brown

A member of the US Army was charged Sunday in the deadly mass shooting at an Illinois bowling alley — a random attack in which a 14-year-old boy was also shot in the face, according to officials.

Suspect Duke Webb, 37, of Florida faces three counts of murder and three counts of first-degree attempted murder in Saturday’s shooting in Rockford, police and prosecutors said at a press conference Sunday.

Webb is “a current active military member, and we are in contact with the US Army regarding his military status,” Police Chief Dan O’Shea said.

“We believe this was a completely random act and there is no prior meeting or any kind of relationship between the suspect and any of the victims in this case,” O’Shea said.

“I’m not going to change my dog’s name.”

Tell Duke that the other dogs at the dog park may pick on him for the next week, but they will forget about it soon. But when Duke goes trial, he is going to get picked on again.

Do you think Greta Thunberg suffers from that?

Reading is fun. Joined the Army in 2012 so he was nowhere near retirement.

At 37 yrs old Webb well could have been closing in on a 20 year Army retirement at 50% of his base pay for life, plus a considerable list of other military related benefits. Anyone who thinks defending our nation is a waste of time ought to, at the very least, be grateful that other men and women consider it an honor.
Additionally, the bar was called Shooters, and other than the teens who were there for take-out food old men over 60 were targeted. Unless Webb just suddenly went postal, we just don’t have enough info to even speculate without turning it into a Rorschach exercise.

I’ve worked with kids that had Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.

Their brains are wired so wrong that they are beyond crazy.

“ PTSD”

You had better back that up with data and statistics proving that PTSD causes this type of violent behavior or a sincere apology

One or the other

He'll be O.K. He made it through the David Duke fiasco just fine.

Sad isn't it? Lori Lightfoot the mayor of Chicago looks a like FASA (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Adult). However for her I have NO sympathy.

If someone feels the urge to go out and shoot random strangers, it’s always a good idea to test one’s gun on one’s self first.

No. She doesn’t display any of the physical or emotional characteristics of a Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Adult. She’s just a spoiled, over indulged ungovernable little brat.

I meant to include a question mark because I obviously can't be sure.But he's clearly career military and,as such,has almost certainly served in Iraq and/or Afghanistan.I'm told by two guys who are in a position to know (I've never served in combat) that combat has a way of changing a guy...often not for the better.

Also,assuming service in one or both places,we have the real possibility of a serious head injury.

he goes off and ruins Duke for everybody.

Christian Laettner couldn't do it, and if he can't, no one ever will.

That seems to be a lot of facial hair for someone on active duty.

Maybe he is a soldier with PTSD, self medicating that lost it.
