I want to discuss this killing a bit, and others that have occurred recently.
First, this is tragic and sad.
Second, from what I read, the shooter meant to go the NFL Office, blaming THEM for his supposed CTE,
even though he did not play in the NFL nor in College, from what I read recently.
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease of the brain caused by the cumulative effects of repeated head impacts. These impacts can lead to symptoms during the injury, known as concussions, but often there are no immediate symptoms following the head impact.
Individuals who experience repetitive head impacts over many years, often due to activities such as football, rodeo, military-related blast injuries, or other forms of head trauma, are at risk of developing CTE. This disease typically develops months or years after the head impacts have stopped, and it progressively worsens over time.

One result of that is that another recent shooting in Reno, NV, is nearly ignored. I had to "dig" to find more information about this story:
RENO, Nev. -- The suspected gunman who killed three people outside the largest casino in Reno, Nevada, before police officers shot and arrested him has died.
Dakota Hawver, a 26-year-old Reno resident, died in the overnight hours, police announced Thursday morning. Hawver had been hospitalized in critical condition since the shooting at the Grand Sierra Resort.
Two of the three people killed in Monday's shooting were visiting from Southern California for a bachelor party, while the third victim was a 66-year-old man who lived in the area, authorities said. (...)
The shooting unfolded early Monday, when the gunman walked up to the valet area, pulled out the gun and pointed it at a group of people, police said. His weapon initially malfunctioned, but he was quickly able to get it to shoot before running through the parking lot, where he encountered an armed casino security guard.

Search ongoing for suspect in Montana bar shooting that killed 4
The search for a man suspected of fatally shooting four people at a Montana bar Friday morning stretched into the night after his truck was found but he was not in it, state officials said.
The suspect was named as Michael Paul Brown, according to Anaconda-Deer Lodge County law enforcement.
Brown, 45, walked into the Owl Bar in Anaconda at 10:30 a.m. and opened fire, killing four people, said Investigations Administrator Lee Johnson with the Montana Department of Justice.
The manhunt for Brown was still underway 12 hours later. Johnson said authorities were searching for him in the area of Stumptown Road, west of Anaconda, a copper smelt town founded in the late 1800s.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — A 28-year-old teacher who authorities say admitted to fatally stabbing two hikers he didn’t know in an Arkansas state park bounced between four school districts in three states in recent years.
