  1. It’s very possible. After that maybe he had no plan. No clue what he did in the hours in between shooting on Shadylane and shooting the bicyclist near the Alamo Theater. And now we know why we didn’t get a true alert of an active shooter and a description. And the explanation is infuriatingly stupid.
  2. 67 year old whose application for a job had been denied recently. Gee…
  3. wtf???????????? This has shades of Uvalde all over it. We need a request to inform the public they could be in danger??????????????? The fuck man.
  4. Yes. One of the articles said also that the shooter had a sibling and that sibling had also been was a victim of the domestic violence misdemeanor along with the parents of the shooter. Not sure if perhaps the shooter after doing some already unthinkable shit was looking for his sibling?
  5. Yep. I am baffled by the Shadylane shooting. It’s possible the officer at the highschool couldn’t get a good description at all. He said he was ambushed and he was shot in the leg so maybe he didn’t see where the shots came from? But as far as the Shadylane shooting two people that were neighbors could provide descriptions of the car/possibly the shooter. One especially could provide that. And nada. We just heard two people killed on that street and no suspect in custody. Hours went by. Then the cyclist. Like what if he had built some device to go off and put it somewhere. Who knows wtf he was doing that whole time? What if he broke into another house or houses?
  6. Then, shortly before 7 p.m., officers responded to a burglary at a home where they said James opened fire on a responding officer, striking them multiple times. The officer’s injuries were not life threatening. James drove off, and once police made it inside, they found two people dead. Neighbors said they were a mother and daughter. ——————
  7. One thing I got from the AAS article was that when Pop Ba and Sabrina Rahman were shot on the street (he was working on Sabrina’s home and was getting into his car for a lunch break) and she was walking her 12 month old in a stroller (which she pushed away or tried to hide before she was shot) was that a neighbor came out and saw the bodies and the shooter drive away. Why was this car or description not put out to the public? Also another neighbor had recently installed a RingCamera after months of putting it off and had provided that to police. We get fucking alerts every day but not an at large shooter description with a car? the shooting happened before noon. No idea what he was doing between noon and about 5:45 when he shot the cyclist, a 39 year old white male. But prior to shooting Rahman and Pa he shot the officer at the high school. Officer called it in. Was ambushed and shot in the leg. Shooter fled. Tons of agencies came to the school and it was safeguarded as it should have been but no description of the shooter out to the public. I understand why no one connected those three shootings at the time. I understand why no one connected the killings in San Antonio before he was apprehended. Because they went to the house and found his parents’ bodies after our authorities contacted Bexar county law enforcement. but..from about noon to 5:45 he was doing something. Maybe parked somewhere who knows. But if a description had gone out maybe we don’t have the shooting of the cyclist or the two people at the home near Circle C? I don’t know. I don’t want to assign more fault to anyone else but it seems odd they wouldn’t put information about an at large shooter who shot and killed two people on the street. Smdh.
  8. None of that has been confirmed but on Twitter or whatever one person tweeted like 12 hours ago that the two victims on Shadylane were on the street and that one was a handyman and that information is just being reported tonite and that the woman had witnessed the shooting and tried to run away but was shot also. So perhaps that person may be accurate.
  9. His dad was ex-military and probably thought he could handle it. His parents had him fairly young. The shooter is 34 and his parents were basically 20 years older.
  10. From the AAS: https://www.statesman.com/story/news/local/2023/12/06/austin-shooting-victims-identified-sabrina-rahman-emmanuel-pop-ba-shadywood-drive/71829246007/ Sabrina Rahman, 24, was found with Emmanuel Pop Ba, 32, in the 7300 block of Shadywood Drive at about noon on Tuesday after police received multiple calls about shots being fired. Austin police found both of them with gunshot wounds and said in a press release sent Wednesday that Rahman was taken to the hospital, where she died. Pop Ba was pronounced dead at the scene. Marshall Hussain, the uncle of Rahman, told the American-Statesman that his niece was 24 years old. She had moved into her family’s new home with her husband and their 12-month-old child only the day before. “She was so excited. She took the baby for a stroller walk,” Hussain said. Neighbors say they called the police at 11:59 a.m. after hearing gunshots in the neighborhood. Rahman was walking with her baby in a stroller at the time. Pop Ba's family said he worked as a handyman and was helping Hussain's family members move into a house on Tuesday. Pop Ba was getting into his car for lunch when the shooter approached, said Hussain. He said Pop Ba was a close friend who he often employed. Hussain speculated that Rahman, who was walking with her baby in a stroller, saw the shooter shoot their friend and ran to hide the baby. “She did her last act to push the child away,” he said. Hussain said a neighbor found the baby and stroller and started walking up the street, trying to figure out who the baby’s parents were. Rahman's parents, who were inside the home, saw the ambulance taking away Rahman's body but did not realize it was her until they saw the stroller and recognized it. ——————- also I really hope the rumors are NOT true about the two remaining victims near Circle C that haven’t been identified as of yet.
  11. from the San Antonio Express (neighbors of the James family where the shooter/killer had been living the last 6 or so years): “Neighbor Richard Powell said they didn’t hear anything suspicious coming from the house ahead of the deaths in the quiet community. Salazar said none of the neighbors heard gunshots. “This was the first time we ever heard of something like this,” Powell said. “I never thought it would happen.” His brother, Tyrone Powell, said James Jr. didn’t come out of the house much, so they know little about him. “I know he’s a little disturbed,” Tyrone Powell said. “He was in the army, then got kicked out.” The brothers’ mom, Laverne Powell has been living in her current home since 2001. She said she had been neighbors with the Jameses for 13 years. James Sr. was retired military and a “real good man,” she said. She added that James Jr. had moved into the house about “five or six years ago.” The family said they knew James was suffering from some type of mental illness after conversations they had with his dad during the years.”
  12. Dude had some clear issues (kicked out of military—something a lot of these people have in common—denied a commercial license for medical reasons—moved in with parents 6 years ago due to issues—family violence etc) so no telling what his motive was for driving to Austin and murdering four people and shooting three more people. If they were all random then perhaps he was racially motivated but again thats above my paygrade at this point. He brutally murdered his parents who had cared for him the last 6 years. No clue.
  13. It was Northest Early college Highschool or something like that. Okay, this article has the most information I have seen so far on the shooter. Also another article from the same publication said that the parents did not want him jailed. A victims advocacy group did not want him jailed due to his mental health issues. He was kicked out of the army for that reason. He tried to get a commercial license but couldn’t due to medical reasons. When the cops showed up to an episode he was having last year he barricaded himself in his room. they chose not to forcefully remove him bc his warrants were just misdemeanors and told parents to call them directly for any future problems and of course they never called again. https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/shane-james-capital-murder-18537824.php very detailed about the shooter. At least compared to any other article from the little they know. If he had a racial motivation for coming to Austin I am sure it’s possible. he was also very mentally disturbed for quite some time and would have been better off institutionalized and being diagnosed and on a regime of drugs to help him. Instead he lived with his parents. And eventually killed them.
  14. Well, the first two victims were his parents. We don’t know about the four other homicides. But they were found in pairs. He drove to Austin for some purpose. There is a lot of speculation that the two sets of murders in Austin were not random and were specifically targeted. Or at least the man/woman killed earlier in the day yesterday were perhaps targeted. The cop outside the school? Probably not. The guy on the bike? Victim of opportunity? The other cop? He was shot while returning fire at the scene of the second double homicide.
  15. Yes. There is a candy section in Walgreens and you can get four boxes for $5. I sadly know this because I enjoy them.
  16. None of this does. He needed to be institutionalized. The gun issue we have been told is CR but we all know there were things that could be done on that issue. Don’t know if he owned the weapons prior and they were not confiscated OR if the parents had them in their home. SMDH. I am sure they thought they were doing right by him. That they could fix him. And the end result, like many of these situations, is they get murdered by the person. We seem to be hearing about this shit on the daily, the caregiver calling 911 for a mental health crisis and either the cops shoot the person, or the person kills the caregiver or it gets kicked down the road until the next episode. He should have been institutionalized and diagnosed and put on a regime. But people don’t like that solution either. Smdh.
  17. from the San Antonio news (so the comment is from a sheriff there below): https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/public-safety/bexar-county-dead-bodies-found-san-antonio-texas-police/273-c3f0a601-74e9-45d0-b561-1ab8a9db54fa “Sheriff Salazar says James had a previous criminal history, including a domestic violence charge in January of 2022. Later that month, his bond conditions were changed to allow him to have contact with his family, the victims in that case. Sheriff Salazar said the bond conditions change was at the request of his family and with the assistance of a victim's advocacy group. He was released on bond and returned home with his family in March of 2022. The sheriff says he cut off his ankle monitor at that point. In August of 2023, James encountered deputies again when they responded to a call for a mental health episode at his parent's address. In that incident, Sheriff Salazar says deputies were not able to take him into custody due to James creating a barrier between himself and the deputies.”
  18. I wonder what the people he went to school with are thinking. What his remaining relatives are thinking. So many “injustice collectors” lately piling up their grievances like PFF does stats on players. Smdh. I bet he made his parents’ lives a living hell for years before he killed them. Fuck him and all people like him.
  19. So this is a better timeline of events. Wondering (if he drove to Austin to eliminate specific targets) if the one of his intended victims worked at the school where the first officer was shot. Because the map makes no sense. Or if he intended to do something more at that specific location. But because he shot the officer who was able to radio for help he moved on to the couple at Shadywood? https://www.kvue.com/article/news/crime/austin-shooting-today-mopac-la-crosse-ave/269-cde30041-0fed-4963-8080-fe4804a8cc89
  20. The map kinda speaks to that (or at least the first couple killed in Austin.)
