[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This story was buried at the bottom of the home page most of the day. And they won't identify the shooter. What is up with that?[/quote]

Agree. Why hasn’t shooter been identified? I’m guessing either homeless or a catch-and-release. [/quote]

Isaiah Trotman, 31, of Washington, DC, was identified by investigators as the gunman, and was arrested on charges of first degree murder while armed, kidnapping while armed and assault with a dangerous weapon, police said[/i]

I don't see a record on DC Sup Ct but those do not seem like the actions of a 1st time offender. Did he recently arrive in DC from elsewhere like the guy who bashed a baby in the face with a brick on Capitol Hill? [/quote]

There’s a Washington Post article about him. Apparently, he was pretty amazing. Sounds like some sort of mental health crisis. He was a competitive swimmer in HS. Got a scholarship to Auburn U and graduated with a degree in finance. Served in the Air National Guard. Moved to DC. Bought a half million dollar house. Had two cars and an IT job. Paid his taxes. [b]Something happened after Christmas[/b]. Inside of his house went from well kept to graffitied. No car. No phone. Disheveled. Then this.

He was arrested twice, one dropped and one resulting in a plea of guilty of possession with intent to sell methamphetamine. Some domestic issues with a girlfriend, which seem to have gone both ways - him to her and her to him.

Unlike much of the speculation, seems like he was a really successful guy before serious mental illness set in. [/quote]
What happened is that the guy started using drugs and it turned him into a psycho. [/quote]
