    Investigators said they had identified a suspect in the case by Monday evening, and he had been linked to a total of three cases which were apparently “politically motivated”.

    That man later contacted officers, told them he wanted to “confess a crime involving an ATV driver within the last 24 hours” and asked to be picked up, police said in a statement. When police arrived at the scene, they found a 22-year-old man dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

    Yikes

      Stochastic terrorism bites Trump’s own hand again (but they are so tiny, it didn’t take much). It’s an uncontrollable force.

      That said, it’s a tragic story for the young man and his victims.

          I don’t think he murdered anyone, actually. Just ran them over, hospitalizing the 80 year old. In fact we don’t even know the other related incidents involved running anyone over, I guess, though that was my assumption. The article is light on the details.

          Anyway the kid didn’t have to kill himself.

              Yours is a valid opinion and you’re not being an asshole here, even if I don’t agree with you. If I thought you were I’d downvote, but I don’t think so.

            Not yet, but the guy was 80 and in critical condition. Survival seems unlikely. But as the article seems to say this was intentional, it’ll be murder.
