Interesting that the killer has not been identified yet
Felon with guns. A black guy. Messages posted in the past about wanting to kill white people. Flat out sad loss of life.

Shannon Gooden is the man's name. He was a felon because he had been charged for assault with a deadly weapon. He had assaulted someone in a mall with a knife. He had attended anger management classes and felt he should be allowed to own firearms for that reason. He had a number of firearms and ammo in the home. A judge ruled against his owning a firearm partly because the management classes didn't do much for him as his wife said he had headbutted her breaking her nose and giving her a black eye. He was also accused of throwing one of his kids down the stairs. Apparently, it was never followed up to see if he was abiding by non-ownership of guns.
This is a perfect example of not being able to stop criminals from having firearms. Obviously, he couldn't obtain a firearm lawfully, yet managed to get a number of them. Making it harder for law abiding citizens to get a gun seems to be a priority instead.
