The NY Post is now reporting that Lopez entered the office, requested leave forms, was told he had to wait, had words with the clerk, left the office, then returned with a firearm and began shooting.

This is not consistent with terrorism. I submit that it is consistent with someone thinking: "I am going to ask them nicely once, and if they don't give me what I want, I am going to teach them a lesson."

I have no idea what this guy was thinking. All cards are on the table. Sudden jihad syndrome? Possibly.

They are saying that he was taking Ambien, anti depressants ( SSRI ?), anti anxiety meds (Xanax).

All of these have been linked to bizarre, violent behavior.

PTSD has been put to rest as he never saw combat.

Normal people, married with kids, don't just start shooting people in a cold, calculating way because they feel wronged or slighted which is why I'm leaving Sudden Jihadi Syndrome in the mix.

The reason that I mention hassan is that it was a similar crime, carried out in a similar fashion on the same base. To this day the administration still denies that it was terrorism and labels it "workplace violence".
