Last week we heard of the devastating shooting that occurred at FSU. The attack left three students injured by gunshot wounds and the shooter dead after a brief exchange of gunfire between both Florida State and Tallahassee law enforcement who responded to the scene. The shooter, identified as Myron May, was a 2005 graduate of FSU. After going on to graduate from Texas Tech University's law school in 2009, May moved back into the area only a few weeks ago and seemed to be "troubled." Investigators continue to survey the area and conduct interviews with witnesses, trying their best to make sense of this madness. It appears May did not target the victims involved, his motive is still unclear at this point. The school canceled classes Thursday in the wake of the shooting, and offered counseling services to those directly and indirectly involved. "Mr. May had a written journal and videos where he expressed fears of being targeted and that he wanted to bring attention to this issue of targeting," Tallahassee Police Chief Micheal DeLeo told reporters. The investigation remains ongoing while students and the FSU community remain strong and continue to pray for full-recovery for the victims involved.
Perhaps we will never know the true reasoning behind Mr. May's actions on that day but my guess is his mental state was way off the charts. What would cause a person to want to do harm on innocent people if they weren't crazy? This man was suffering from delusional thoughts, mental breakdowns, schizoprenia, and who knows what else. There is no doubt he was battling with mental illness. Its a tragedy he did not seek help and counseling before deciding the solution to all his problems was to take it out on others but as we now see, his own life was forfeited as a result.
