Didn't at all mean to discount the fear and pain of the victims and those around them - and they will have emotion repercussions as well.

After reading about MM and the great mental anguish and confusion he was enduring, one cannot help but feel sorry for him and for all his family and friends who now have to live with the knowledge of what he had done and possibly intended to do.
Thank goodness more people were not hurt. imo.

Same old story. It's hard to get mental health help until person commits some horrible crime. Yet they can still buy guns even in that condition as this guy was.
