Jail records have identified the man who was arrested in an apparently random spree of shootings and a carjacking that left two people dead and two others in critical condition.

Tad Michael Norman, 33, was booked into King County Jail on suspicion of homicide, robbery and assault on Thursday after his release from a hospital where he was treated for minor injuries.

Police have said the suspect left his home Wednesday afternoon, shot and wounded a woman driving a car and a male bus driver, then shot and killed another man in a carjacking and got in a head-on crash with another vehicle, killing the man who was driving the other car.

Norman has an active presence on Facebook and LinkedIn, which show him to be a married former contract worker for Microsoft.

How heartbreaking! The school teacher and bus driver are lucky to be alive! Thankfully the bus driver was able to drive all those passengers out of harms way!

The first person narration from the woman driving the car who was shot (a second grade teacher) is both heartbreaking and funny at the same time. Worth the read.

I have tickets to Vegas next Saturday, and tickets to see Aerosmith on Monday the 8th, so God willing I will be in Vegas next Saturday.

Here‘s a video interview with her.

With all the teachers arrested these days for illegal acts with students, it’s refreshing to read about a REAL teacher. Never once did she express concern for herself. Only worried about getting a sub and how this (off school shooting) will affect her little students’ psyches and emotional well-being.

Would be great if Aerosmith hears about this and gives her the royal treatment. Rock on, Ms. Judd, rock on!

This reminds me of the young man last year whole stole an airplane. No criminal background, married. Just apparently lost his mind.

From your link Sasha:

“Police say that Norman told officers that he bought vodka, rum and wine and started drinking around 12:30 p.m. Norman said he then played video games on his X-box, but then blacked out. He said he had no memory of shooting multiple people, the carjacking or the car crash.“

Perfect. The DA can remind him!
What a waste of his life.

Yes. His Facebook was still active yesterday. Now it‘s down.

This is so crazy! THAT is not what I assumed this guy would look like.. So He’s unemployed, he’s married to an ex-Microsoft engineer and he bought a plethora alcohol which have no business being consumed together and started getting tanked at noon? I’d have a fit if my unemployed, cartoon T-shirt wearing husband was hammered playing video games. Oh hell no. Maybe she told him to pound sand and he drank his feelings away.
Not that it means anything but he did oddly buy alcohol like a 18 year old who has no idea how to drink or what to buy. Hangover city. Especially for him in the pokey I bet.

just so strange

Why is this not a bigger story? He killed several people and it involves violent video games. You’d think the media would be all over it.

This is absurd. Even the trash rags haven’t picked up this story, DM included. I can’t even find a FB group of Reddit about this situation.
