Target store shooter fired randomly and had a history of mental illness, police say
A shooting outside a Target store in Texas that killed three people, including a 4-year-old girl and her grandfather, began with the gunman randomly firing on an employee collecting shopping carts and set in motion a terrifying sequence of stolen cars and crashes that ended with him arrested naked holding a Bible, police said Tuesday.
Austin police said Ethan Nieneker, 32, killed the Target worker then opened fire on the grandfather and his granddaughter before stealing their sport utility vehicle. The violence sent store employees and shoppers fleeing for cover.
Police Chief Lisa Davis said Nieneker had a history of mental health problems, but she was unaware of any specific diagnosis. Court records show he also had a history of arrests for domestic violence and assault
“What happened yesterday was an unprovoked and deliberate attack, a deliberate act of violence,” Davis said at a news conference. “Innocent lives were taken in broad daylight in a place where people should feel safe to run their everyday errands and to live their everyday lives.”

This is a horrible Tragedy and their blood in on the Texas Asshole Fascists that allow no sensible gun laws.
