The tragedy began at 11am (local time) yesterday morning. Moses then opened fire in a chariot on a young lady (20) whom he knew. The victim did not survive the shooting.
At 4 p.m., a Spectrum News 13 news crew was covering that murder. Suddenly, however, the TV journalist and his photographer were shot at themselves. Moses turned out to have returned to the scene of the crime for some unknown reason. Dylan Lyons (24) died, his colleague was in a critical condition for a while.
But it still wasn’t enough. Moses stormed into a random house nearby and shot and killed a nine-year-old girl there. Her mother also took a bullet and is still fighting for her life.
Only the first victim seems to have a connection. It is not yet clear what inspired the perpetrator to make four more victims.
“Despite his young age, Moses already has an extensive criminal record,” sheriff John Mina said at a news conference. “This includes acts of arms, serious assault and burglaries. The suspect isn’t saying much at this point. Whether he knew in advance that a news crew was present remains to be found out. Their van did not appear to be from the press, but the photographer’s material was clearly visible.”
