Maybe - there was a guy in the Class of '99 who looked a lot like Bewildered Jags Fan. But it could be a coincidence.
It's not a coincidence, he did an AMA on Reddit awhile back. He grew up in Littleton and was a senior that year.
Brooks Brown also did an AMA. He was the guy smoking outside and the shooters told him to leave right before it started.

Ah, ok....didn't realize the Jags fan confirmed that it was him in both pictures. I'd be interested in reading that AMA to see why he isn't a Broncos fan.

The 1966 UT clock tower shooting easily had that level of attention.

He said it's something how one day youre teaching an innocent kid how to play a game and the next he's on tv as a killer.
I coached a kid when he was 7-8 year old that committed a triple murder.

I was a little kid when this happened, we went to Astroworld not long after and I vividly remember scanning the roof line of every tall building we passed. Even after my Dad explained to me that it happened in Austin and not Houston, didn't matter, my head was on a swivel.

Does it really matter?

sounds a bit like being a soldier

That was 30 years earlier.
Columbine was the first of what would become a trend and now somewhat of a normal occurrence.

The first modern day mass shooting would be the San Ysidro McDonald's massacre in 1984.

The San Ysidro McDonald's massacre was a mass shooting that occurred in and around a McDonald's restaurant in the San Ysidro neighborhood of San Diego, California, on July 18, 1984. The perpetrator, 41-year-old James Huberty, killed 21 people and injured 19 others before being fatally shot by a police sniper.

Wrong (as you usually are). That trend didn't even start in the US.

Maybe so. It was before I was born.

Read up on the Bath Township elementary school bombing in Michigan in the 1920's. Some dude planted a bomb that killed almost 40 elementary school kids.

No shite.
It was over 20 years ago. I don't give a frick that a 37 year old guy died that happened to be there.
The only reason for the news to report it is to keep it in peoples collective memory.

You're being quite dramatic.
They're making the link between the shooting and his subsequent struggle with addiction, which isn't that far fetched.

Why is this news?
Because his death happened just recently. Hence the word NEWS. The root being “new”.
