i guess we were due for another one.

at least the shooter wasn't killed and didn't kill himself like a coward, so there's that, i guess...

After so many days without a mass shooting headline, I began to wonder if I had yet again fallen into another reality.

More than likely an employee. The area where the shooting happened is too remote for it be someone not an employee or doesn't lives in that general area.

The suspect was shot and injured during a confrontation with a Maryland State Police trooper,

woah, the cop confronted a person with a weapon?
i thought they couldn't do that
maybe the cop realized they didn't have any of their own family to evacuate

 

[Wesley Willis]

Any famous people from there that have nothing to do with the incident that can comment?

It's how you tell the glows from the real ones. The real ones get stopped.

Glows will also be sure never to target anyone plausibly connected to the ruling class.

I'm glad the shooter was taken down with the power of anti-gun activism.

Disgruntled employee or glowie.

No manifesto, not a white supremacist, and he wasn't using a AR-15 to my knowledge. Probably disgruntled employee. I remember shootings like this used to be pretty common with the postal service.
