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.

Being a recovered alcoholic it's people with the wide spaced eyes I notice.

Glad to know we have an eye distance expert here.

So what should the perfect eye distance of a normal be? Another poster above said his eyes were to narrow and now you say that wide spaced eyes are the give away............

I'm confused with all these expert opinions here.......

I don't have the credentials to insist that PTSD or head injury/injuries are factors here.Do you have the credentials to insist that it has nothing to do with his military service? Are you a trained Psychiatrist...Neurologist...Neurosurgeon?

And of course the “media” (D) are frantically searching for MAGA or Christian ties of some kind to connect this guy to President Trump. Narrative über allies, after all.

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,

Nope.

Enlisted in 2012 so was only eight years in and no to the 50%.

It has been 40% for decades.

50% is for 30 years which means as enlisted only a E9 would make it.

Wow!

SF guarantees combat.

That almost certainly guarantees some kind of trauma and psychological damage.

How a vet deals with that is an individual choice and every one of them will be different.

No I am not a MD. But I have known several combat vets.

Every one has psychological scars.

Many if not most at some point have resorted to drug or alcohol or both.

In many cases the drugs prescribed by the Army docs cause more problems than they solve.

Don’t extrapolate that to mass murder unless you can and do back it up.

Ask these vets if they approve of you and others going on social media stating that the psychological scars of combat will Or hav contribute to mass murder. Ask them if they agree with that assessment to begin with

But first, name one such example. You can’t

The meduia hyped non factual accounts do not count
