Police Suspect Gunman’s Motive Was To Kill Bunch Of People

COLUMBIA, MO-Stressing that they could not yet pinpoint any definitive rationale, Columbia police chief David Elrod told reporters Monday that authorities suspected the motive of a gunman who carried out a weekend shooting spree was to kill a whole bunch of people.After probing the assailant's intentions for opening fire on the crowd, we've been able to surmise that his objective may well have been to shoot a lot of folks," said Elrod, adding that while the case was still an ongoing investigation, murdering a large number of people really quickly seems to be the most persuasive explanation as to why the shooter would commit such a heinous act. We don't want to rush to any conclusions, but when the accused party yelled out, quote, I'm going to kill every one of you motherfuckers,' we believe this potentially indicated that his purpose was to kill everybody. We may never know for certain what exactly went through the perpetrator's mind when he gunned down those innocent bystanders, but all evidence points to that being the goal."Following a broader investigation, police were said to be exploring an alternative theory that the gunman didn't intend to kill any people at all and his victims were simply collateral damage from his attempt to fire his gun as many times as possible while walking down a busy sidewalk.
