My Lord, no casualties in the war, then this manure goes on ...
Violent weekend
Actually if you look at history, there is always (every) year mass deaths at this time of year.
Government killing at Waco, was when I first started noticing.

Police shared a photo of five potential suspects in the mass shooting near the University of Iowa. Iowa City Public Safety
Iowa once gave us the Sullivan Brothers. There were five of them too. I think of the Sullivans when I think of Iowa. Maybe Radar O’Reilly too. Or Grant Wood...
Note the footwear.
Those are definitely FFA students in town for a meeting
Happy birthday, Hitler!

The only reparations owed are to ancestors of those who died in the confederacy.
They were right
He's shocked, shocked!
James Tiberius Kirk is gonna be from Iowa.
John Wayne and Caitlin Clark as well.
Yup! Someone got “dissed”......
My mother had five brothers from her neighborhood all enlist together during WWII. But what happened to the Sullivans didn’t happen to them.

Around April 19 Specifically Recent years (GVA examples): Multiple incidents occur in mid-to-late April annually. For instance, in 2026 data around April 19: shootings in Iowa City (5 injured), Shreveport, LA (8 killed, 2 injured), and several others on April 18 in AZ, VA, NJ, CA. Similar clusters appear in prior years.

No clear annual spike: “Around April 19” (say, April 15–25) sees a handful of GVA-defined incidents most years, consistent with the baseline rate of ~1–3+ per week nationally. It’s not an outlier compared to other dates.
Notable High-Profile Incidents Near April 19–20These stricter “mass public shootings” (4+ killed) draw attention and fuel perceptions of a pattern, often linked symbolically to dates like the Waco siege end (April 19, 1993) or Oklahoma City bombing (April 19, 1995, a bombing, not shooting):April 20, 1999: Columbine High School, CO — 13 killed (plus shooters), 21+ injured. One of the most infamous school shootings.

April 15, 2021: FedEx shooting, Indianapolis — 8 killed, 7 injured.

Other nearby: Waffle House (April 22, 2018), some April 16–18 events in various years.
April 19 itself has domestic terrorism associations (Oklahoma City, Waco), but fewer pure mass shootings than the following day.
Photo of suspects....
I think #5 looks like Spike Lee.
Shows how that experiment with facial recognition matching with criminals ended up being scrapped when members of the Congressional Black Caucus were identified by the software as previously arrested criminals on the loose.
2018 test by the ACLU found that the 25,000 photo database of criminals matched 28 members of the US Congress as criminals.
