Was just a shooting in WDM...linked to rapist

**isuno1fan** · 05-12-2009, 08:42 PM

Just reported a shooting at Glen Oaks this evening. Channel 5 reporting it may be linked to the WDM rapist.

Let's hope he is meeting his maker!

I hope he is the person who was shot and not him doing the shooting. I really hope it's not another random act of violence

Why the hell else would the guy be pulling a gun if it wasn't the rapist or someone close to what's been happening. This is a good thing...

First, if this is the rapist, this is very good news. I could not care less if he survives or not.

And he lives in Glen Oaks? I bet everyone had this guy pegged as living anywhere but that kind of area.

I'm not sure if he was living there... But yeah, I thought the same thing. As I said, if he was pulling a gun on the cops, he was guilty of something.

Register reporting he died.

Very curious if he lived there or was breaking in somewhere, or what. Hope it's him, and I hope that really hurt.

He lived in the townhomes right off MillsCivic....Those are only $125K or so. It was his home.

He was in an apartment, not one of the mansions in the area.

It would have been a lot more fitting if (assuming he actually is the rapist and everyone isn't going off half-cocked here) he had to sit in jail and be the victim for the next 20 years.

Huge news and fabulous news.

I wasn't picturing him living within a half mile of me.

**isuno1fan** · 05-12-2009, 08:59 PM

I would much rather have him rotting 6 ft. under than rotting in a jail somewhere Angie.

**wartknight** · 05-12-2009, 09:04 PM

We just saw this on the news and my wife breathed a huge sigh of relief.

I don't want to turn this political with my opinions, but I just personally disagree - I'm not a fan of anyone getting killed, no matter how evil they are.
