The gunman's rampage began at a home in this beachfront city, leaving two dead inside. Then he carjacked a woman and fired at a public bus. It all ended when police shot him dead at Santa Monica College as students studied for finals, a mile from the house.
His blood trail, however, left four people dead Friday in Santa Monica, which abuts Los Angeles and is renowned for its liberal openness.
A law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation told CNN on Saturday that the gunman had suffered mental health issues. A couple of years ago, he was hospitalized for treatment after allegedly talking about harming someone, according to the official.

That’s just it. You can’t get an AR-15 and a 51-50 can’t get anything.
the media coverage yesterday repeated the word “White” maybe 100 times..oh and AR-15 and “assault rifle” the same amount of times..the were praying this guy was a white guy but the second the neighbor said they were a lebanese family you could see the look of despair in the reporters eyes, they were crushed
Does Governor Brown have any Muslim Control bills on his desk?
Look at the link: “Using the Intelligence Community Standard for the Transliteration of Arabic Names, it is spelled Zawahri”. Lots of alternate ways to spell Arabic names in English.
Christopher? Must be Norwegian.
We don’t need gun control. We need Muslim Control.
No,but rumor has it that he has a nubile 20 year old intern on it.
Whenever you hear someone say that we need gun control because of what a few maniacs do, remind them of Boston and every other terror attack that we have had, does that mean we need to ban Muslims..with the left’s logic we should deport all Muslims from this country..watch them shut their traps real quick
What are the odds of a nut-job going off at exactly the same time Obama, Villaraigosa and Garcetti are 4 blocks away, headed to a “fundraiser” just north of the killings, and forcing Obama to skip the Santa Monica Airport on the way back, taking surface streets all the way to LAX?
Yeah, I noticed that too. The media is looking for anything to distract and change the subject away from the implosion of Team Hope & Change.
If you're in a drug gang or a mooslime you can easily get them from the ATF, no questions asked.
An interesting blog comment:
The mainstream media has worked very hard to censor his name from the reports -- some give his full medical history (mental illness and hospital stay due to mental illness), his father's street address, and then add "the name of the gunman is not known" Well, duh! How do you get someone's detailed mental health records without knowing their name? His surname is not supportive of the agenda.
ZabaSearch finds exactly two people in the US named Zawahiri (same as the AQ chief). However, it finds 24 (including the late father of the shooter) named Zawahri, which is how it is pronounced in Egyptian Arabic, according to the Wikipedia.
I think having Obama here was an added benefit for him..I think he probably planned the killings for a while(His mother is out of the country, supposedly in Lebanon) but figured, hey the President is going to be in Santa Monica, why not do it on Friday when he’s in town..it will be interesting to find out where he got the guns from..in this state no way would he have passed a background check, not with his mental history, so either he stole them or they belonged to his mother
I think that cat's name is Hawass, or Asswad, or some such. He is very full of himself.
Gee, what are the odds? Barry gives a speech on Mental Health and four days later a guy who’s had mental health issues shoot and kills on the same day Barry is in California?
(from article, he was referencing gun control and Newtown)
“I want to be absolutely clear. The overwhelming majority of people who suffer from mental illnesses are not violent,” Obama said. “But we also know that most suicides each year involve some mental health or substance abuse disorder. And in some cases, when a condition goes untreated, it can lead to tragedy on a larger scale. We can do something about stories like this.”
First you have to believe he had a history of mental illness. That seems to be the cover for anyone with a middle eastern name who kills someone. Actually, I’m surprised Barack Hussein Obama hasn’t used that as his defense for the murders of four Americans in Benghazi.
Ties to radical Islam??? With the name, Christopher? I don’t think so.
7 local news stations were on this yesterday — none today. There was supposed to be a SMPD new conference at noon — did you see it anywhere? I couldn’t find it. They are keeping this very close to the vest - maybe hoping it goes away over weekend?
They are having a news conference at 1:00 pm (CA time) ... where they stated they will be presenting lots of physical evidence. My guess is that they will make a grand spectacle out of presenting some type of “assault weapon” and make that the focus of their talk...
Amazing how much we knew about the other “mass shooters”, almost immediately.
On another mass shooting, the one in New Orleans a few weeks ago in which 15 people were shot, not a peep from Barry. Wonder why?
Mass deaths every week in Chicago shootings. Not a peep from Barry. Wonder why?
