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.

No ones going to sue you.

Just telling you And a lot of people here to lay off libeling our vets.

None of you can name a mass murderer who acted from PTSD None of you can name a murderer who did so

You all just talk generalities against vets

All lies and propaganda

Worse than fox.
You make me sick.

I’ll give you a starter list.

The most famous was probably Charles Whitman, who took out the leader of the University of Texas SDS and 15 others that day, wounding 30 others.
Ian David Long
Wade Michael Page
Nidal Malik Hassan
Ivan Lopez
Estaban Santiago
Aaron Alixis
Devin Patrick Kelley
Dewayne Antonio Craddock/Hamilton
George Hennard
William Kreutzer, Jr.

We won’t count Stephen Paddock, since he was a civilian employee of the Defense Contract Audit Agency.

He got in at 25 years old. That is unusual

He got in in 2008. Great Recession. Lots of folks were looking for jobs about then. 25 and fit, willing to fight in the Bush Wars? Sign him up.

You got me on Timmy. But Oswald doesn't make the list - he only killed one. He missed the General completely (a stationary target), and only wounded Connally.

Well, he did kill officer Tibbetts in the movie theater, so that’s two, anyway.
