Disgruntled Lawyer Dresses Like Nazi To Go On Shooting Spree, 9 Injured


Gee, I can't imagine why a Nazi would have a troubled work environment. 

Story out of Houston, Texas:

A gunman who injured at least nine people in Houston, Texas, on Monday was a disgruntled lawyer who wore a military-style outfit affixed with Nazi emblems during the attack, officials say.

Authorities said the gunman had two weapons and more than 2,500 rounds of live ammunition when he opened fire in front of a condo complex near a strip mall, injuring nine people Monday morning before being fatally shot by police, Houston Police Department Homicide Captain Dwayne Ready said at a press conference. (Police have not yet publicly named the gunman.)

"We did find some old Nazi emblems [with] some of his personal effects. I understand there are also some where he lived," Ready said. "There's also other, what I would refer to as, historic or vintage military stuff within the apartment going back to the civil war."

Houston police tweeted on Monday that the gunman is a lawyer, adding that they are working to determine "if issues at his firm led to the shooting."

Mayor Sylvester Turner reportedly told KTRK-TV that the shooter was a "disgruntled" attorney who was "either fired or had a bad relationship with his law firm," the Associated Press reports.

The suspect randomly shot at drivers in the Houston neighborhood, the AP reports. Six people were shot and three suffered eye injuries from flying glass.

Police said on Monday they believe the man acted alone and officials are investigating a motive. Cont.
