Source: Santa Monica gunman previously hospitalized for mental health (Update: John Zawahri)

The gunman's rampage began at a home in this beachfront city, leaving two dead inside. Then he carjacked a woman and fired at a public bus. It all ended when police shot him dead at Santa Monica College as students studied for finals, a mile from the house.

His blood trail, however, left four people dead Friday in Santa Monica, which abuts Los Angeles and is renowned for its liberal openness.

A law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation told CNN on Saturday that the gunman had suffered mental health issues. A couple of years ago, he was hospitalized for treatment after allegedly talking about harming someone, according to the official.

Because the shooter was one of “Holder’s People” you can bet once Obama and his cronies find out this guy is Lebanese they will call this “Workplace violence”

The “mental health” issues are never front and center when the killer is White. It should be a priority concern in all crimes.

Sadly, you are probably right. They don’t seem to care about the criminals that haven’t registered their weapons.

A Christian first name and a Muslim middle and last name?

Maybe his father (55, whom he killed, along with younger brother John, 23) was trying to leave the old country behind.

Its on ABC7.com plus they are showing it on CNN..and AGAIN they are NOT revealing the suspects game, COME ON we all already know it but they are saying that next of kin has not been notified so they can’t release it(The mother is out of the country)..if this guy had been a white guy they would have already revealed his name but since he’s Lebanese they are being super secretive..also the officer revealed now that the police had contact with this guy in 2006 but he was a juvenile back then so they wont release what the confrontation was about

Thanks. Still interesting that there is nothing local — we have to go to CNN.

Just like the article on the other thread, this one ALSO has three authors. When did that start being something to be proud of?

He was probably mad because the local WalMart refused to sell him a pressure cooker.

What are the odds of a nut-job going off at exactly the same time Obama, Villaraigosa and Garcetti


Well, slim but not none, looks like. His detail must have been scrambling all over. Nice poetic justice.. should things turn ugly, zero has to run and hide from his muslim pals.

Sources are saying the shooter’s name was John Zawahri..the brother of Chris..Christopher might not be the shooter(Remember the confusion after Newtown because Adam Lanza had his brother’s ID on him) so have to be sure but thats what they are saying
