I don’t know how stricter gun laws are going to prevent a lunatic from this bullshit. I wish we all had the answer.

The shooting reportedly occurred around 10:14 a.m.The shooting ended up killing six people and wounding another 38. Five of the six victims died instantly. The sixth victim was taken to the hospital, but he later succumbed to his injuries.Crimo, also known as 'Bobby', escaped the scene after the shooting and was on the run for around eight hours. Some reports suggest he escaped the scene dressed in women’s clothing, but was later identified based on the weapon left behind. He was arrested in Lake Forest after a short chase when an officer attempted to stop him at a traffic stop. Authorities have even reported that Crimo allegedly obtained the "high powered" rifle via legal means.
