I've said from the beginning that this nut is hunting people. He looks at them the same way you or I would look at a deer. I don't think he has an agenda....he's just trying to see how many people he can bag before he gets busted. The guy gets a thrill out of stalking and shooting his prey, much as a big game hunter gets his thrill. Frightening.

I don't think he has an agenda....he's just trying to see how many people he can bag before he gets busted.

Personally, I am leaning away from this scenario for several reasons.

First, he chose a school for his latest hit. That is out of character of the other more random sites. That says to me he has an agenda beyond just killing.

Second, the last two shots were body shots while the first five were head shots. He must have known there was a good chance the body shots weren't kill shots, especially after the first one.

Third, he/they seem committed to escaping. They also appear to be reacting to the situation by moving and slowing down the attacks based on police activity.

Bottom line is, like everyone else, I really don't know and I am just speculating.

Oldvike, your post #148 sums up the way I feel about the shooter.

He is hunting, that seems to be the pattern. Clear and easy shots. Goes on about his business after that. Probably lives alone and has a job that requires he drives a Utility van. Doesn't work on weekends.

He's crazy, and we can't rationalize crazy.
