Shooting at or near Burke HS?

[Anonymous]

Curious that there has been no mention of the Whittle School in all the coverage of schools on lockdown, etc. Isn't it right at Connecticut and Van Ness?

The perp looks so young .., probably mental illness involved … he used his real name on that weird online board (boasting about being non PC) so he wanted to be caught.

One of his messages said “God forgive me”. Some part of his mind knows what he has done is extremely Wrong.

Thank Heavens no one has been killed. It is a miracle.

May the perp be captured and receive the psychiatric help he clearly needs.

I work in an inpatient psych facility. We “treat” our patients, discharge them, and readmit many of them a few months/a year later. They don’t stay on their meds and end up right back where they started. We have a very high forensic population (committed crimes, awaiting trial, etc) so plenty of violent patients. Getting them treatment isn’t always the answer. Many times they do belong in jail.

No, they belong in locked psychiatric wards of state hospitals. Unfortunately Reagan pushed for deinstitutionalisation and as a result, we have crazy people running amok, killing innocents.

You have the wrong area. It was Kennedy and 7th; this is near my neighborhood, there is a too much gun violence in our area.

There were two other shootings this afternoon - one at 6th & Kennedy and one on Blair Road near the Takoma Metro station.

Actually 3 - there was on Maple Ave in Takoma Park as well.

That is good news. But how do they know that he was the shooter? He was a person of interest.

Absolutely terrifying. How is that even possible?

Twitter link to a video, not of the actual shooting, and I don't know much about guns, but this is clearly a powerful weapon, with loud and rapid-fire rounds.

Where do these people get these guns from?

I meant to say the video isn't graphic, just audio of the incident taken from a nearby window.

Ugh... this is someone who quite possibly lives a few square miles away from me, assuming this is Fairfax City...

Not anymore he doesn’t.

The shooter live streamed the shooting on 4chan.

He is pictured in this news story.

I lived at the Ava years ago (it was the Consulate then). On 6th floor facing south we had the view of the entire city. The building is at he top of a hill so I am not surprised that if somebody could shoot from a high floor the bullet could get to Cleveland park. I guess he must have had a Powerful rifle

I feel like taking a ride around the hood. I imagine his former home is crawling with Feds as we speak. .

Will we see the calls to ARREST THE PARENTS that we see on other threads?

We need a ban on any firearm that is not a hunting rifle (with hunting permit).


We need to enforce the ban, and aggressively collect these firearms.

So at the end, MPD did nothing to help. The guy killed himself?
