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.

A contract killing, perhaps?
Probably the owner has already put in a call to a sign company for a "Tom's Bar" sign.
My wife was the first one to bring that to my attention, too.
Funny.
L
Shot two teenagers in a bar? (And 4 old dudes).
Add him to the long list of mass killers that are veterans.
Enlisted in 2008. Need to make it to 18.5 to get retirement. So he has about 6 more to go, not one or two.
Need 20 for retirement. 18.5 for “sanctuary” where administrative action can’t separate you from service prior to retirement.
Misconduct still gets you the boot even in “sanctuary.”
Enlisted in 2008 so he had around 12 years in.
“ Maybe he is a soldier with PTSD, self medicating that lost it.”
You’re an MD?
The story says the bar had a take out food section. The younger ones were there to pick up food and were not in the bar.
Head injury or ptsd. You tie tgat in with urge for mass murder you had better back it up with statistical data and psychological data or walk it back. Quick
‘ Maybe he is a soldier with PTSD, self medicating that lost it.’
How does that equal mass murder?
“ Add him to the long list of mass killers that are veterans.”
List them
Now
He got in at 25 years old. That is unusual
Those are deadly. Next they’ll be taking kids out of homes in third-world-shitholia and forcing everyone to take anger management therapy.
Biden’s gun-grabbing false flags starting early?
Well. Look at Congress!
My eyes are so close together I almost just have one big eye in the middle of my face.
PTSD .... The catchall for this century. In the 70s the news was full of crazy Nam vets shooting everything they could find. Every news on any infraction from traffic ticket to shoplifting if the person was a vet the words NAM vet was in the headline. Now with such a huge percentage of ME vets diagnosed with PTSD it seems that is the diagnosis for crime today. Maybe this guy was just a jerk and was high and being a vet had absolutely nothing to do with it.
I was 26. I got called grandpa is Tech school.
What is the approved optimal distance that eyes should be?
