Just keep in mind mass killers pretty much know they want to die and they tend to take as many people with them as they can in a shooting. It is one of those things where he went and wanted to kill a lot of people and commit suicide maybe in his own mind that he’s saving peoples’ lives.
Ex-FBI agent (and ABC News consultant) Brad Garrett • Trying to explain the mindset of Nidal Malik Hasan, who regularly faced criticism in the military from his peers due to his race and religion. He did, however, say things that seemed to validate that fear of him. Most notably, he commented on the Internet at some point that suicide bombings were like soldiers jumping on bombs, trying to protect others. So clearly, not of a traditional mind on the matter. • source
Word from co-workers suggests that Clark was a control freak about his territory in the lab, suggesting that it may have stemmed from a workplace fight over dirty cages. That’s … bizarre. source
The evidence tying Clark and Le seems substantial: Matching card swipes, Le’s blood on Clark’s boots, Clark’s DNA evidence on Le. Clark, who is in prison, isn’t talking, tough. source
He’s not the only suspect in Annie Le’s murder. They’re still investigating. It seemed clear over the last couple of days that this would happen ever since his name got leaked into the press. Clark, an animal lab technician, was arrested this morning in the case. He is one of only a few people that was in the area at the time of the slaying, Yale University said, though police say dozens of people had access to the area. source
Raymond Clark III is still a person of interest. The Yale murder case still doesn’t have a definitive suspect, but all eyes remain on Clark, who was served with two additional search warrants today. Earlier today, authorities said Annie Le died from “traumatic asphyxiation due to neck compression.” Whether or not Clark did it, based on the amount of press coverage he’s gotten, he’s already been convicted by the court of the media. source
Raymond Clark provided DNA samples to investigators. Clark, who has not been charged, was one of dozens of people with access to the area where Annie Le was found. However, the focus has strongly been on him – police did searches of his home yesterday. Investigators said would not make any arrests until DNA evidence was returned. source
I don’t want my children or the people I consider family to be in a place where there are snitches.
Phoenix woman Angela Simpson • Describing the nature of the events that led her to allegedly violently murdering Terry Neely. The woman admits to torturing, murdering and dismembering him (and those are only surface details) because he apparently once snitched on somebody a long time ago. Sickening. • source
The 911 caller: Arrested The crime scene in yesterday’s mobile home attack – for which details have been scarce until now – finally had some movement. 22-year-old Guy Heinze Jr., who called 911 in the attack, was arrested today on tampering and obstruction of justice charges.

Other details While no suspects have been named in the case, described as the area’s most gruesome ever, here’s what we do know: The victims of the attack – 7 dead, two injured – all lived in the trailer, and a tenth person – who was not in the trailer and may or may not be dead – was likely involved. source
Trauma like this is deeply painful to us all. Once again, this community is visited by senseless violence and tragedy upon aspiring young minds from our campus.
Virginia Tech President Charles Steger • In an e-mail regarding the deaths of David Lee Metzler and Heidi Lynn Childs, who were found slain outside a local campground popular with students. Virginia Tech has had lots of tragedy and bizarre death in its recent history. Beyond the 2007 school shooting which killed 32, a student was beheaded on campus by a classmate earlier this year. • source
