Suuuure, he was just a lone nut. Right.

"Now let's not jump to conclusions here."
News of the shooting will make its way to Clapper sometime the middle of next week.

Come Down everyone! there is no reason to panic! We do not want to make any conclusions until the inverstigations have been completed!
