The details of this crime as just so scary. It started out with him shooting an 8-year-old girl in the face and then randomly shooting people in the home. Some people made it out alive, although a few were injured. So far, the death toll is up to 9, including this psycho, who could not accept his recent divorce. So, instead of just offing himself, he took as many as he could with him.
