The TSA Shooter

The coverage of the TSA shooting brings questions to mind, such as why were so few shots fired and so few people involved? It seems that the shooter had “suicide by cop” in mind when he took his semi-auto rifle into the airport where literally hundreds of targets were available but left uninjured. When he shot and killed one TSA employee and wounded another, he took off running – not shooting at other TSA agents. He had spare magazines of ammo with him, but he didn’t senselessly spray the target-rich environment with bullets.

He simply took off running until the cops caught up with him and brought him down in a hail of bullets.

Thus, I think his goal was suicide by cop – which failed, as he survived 4 gunshots to his chest area.
