Was he wearing a suit?

I guess there is some irony to the name Tranquility Park...

That's because he wanted to kill someone, not just hold a rifle for effect.

That can happen when someone is trying to kill you. It's a little different when the target is not paper.

Looked to me that he wanted suicide by cop, if he wanted to shoot someone there was a guy a few feet from him he could have taken out.

^^ my guess the reason he went for the rifle is that was his way out, and was also one of the few things in his life he could control. probably a law abiding gun owner, not much unlike a lot of us here, before this incident. something finally snapped in his mind, and this is the end result. unfortunately, he has pretty much ruined his life, his family's lives. his kids get to grow up with a dad in jail. and we get to sit idly by while the anti gun people use this as a reason the rest of us should not have them.

Well we know that HPD must not carry .40 S&W because those are MAN-KILLERS and if you're shot with one of those, you don't get back up...






Wait a minute.... according to Wiki, they do!

Recklessness with a deadly weapon...I hope the judge throws the book at him

 

[tbhausen]

OP, please change title to read "gunman"... makes big difference.

Wait... Can't do that here.
