It instantly reminded me of Dunblane. I remember that as I was on an A-level field trip at the time.

It's not really the same - this guy is much, much worse. He's crazy enough to do it but smart enough not to get caught and not to leave anything behind that's an obvious clue, at least so far. That makes him just about the nastiest kind of nutter there is.

Oh he'll get caught. There have been others that got away with three or four shootings. They nearly always get caught because they don't stop.

It's just a question of how many more people will die.

The beeb report makes for pretty grim reading. One of the men he shot at the cashpoint was wounded and trying to crawl away, so the gunman walked up to him, turned him over and shot him three more times!

With any luck, this guy will finally snap and end his own worthless existence. However, as JJ said, how many more will he murder before this is over?

Only the French would be that specific about the colours to use use.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Kinda reminds me of Red Dwarf.

Given the two previous attacks hadn't been widely reported in the UK (I wonder why not.. serious question BTW. No pattern = no serial killer = not 'sexy' enough?) and the first I heard of it was that someone had shot up a jewish school, that was my initial thought. However given the army staff shot in the first attack were of Arabic extraction that seems unlikely, unless the shooter(s) considered them traitors somehow.

At the end of it all, I think it's pretty hard to rationalise the actions of someone who would drive up, take out a gun and start shooting at schoolchildren. I suspect whatever his justifications turn out to be, they'll be pretty hatstand.

+1, I'd only read about the first attack, and that's only cos the Beeb had it displayed away down their list...

I'm half expecting this to be linked to that Norwegian head case that went on the rampage.
The victims so far have been conspicuously non-native non-white and non-European in origin.

Exactly my thinking as well.

It'll be yet another right-wing nutjob.

You don't have to be right-wing to be a racist nut job. There are left-wing extremists who believe in equality for everyone, provided you're white and and of the catholic faith...
