Still, having a fascination over the gun control debate is a pretty weak motive to commit violent suicide or to carry where it was illegal to do so. Obviously, Tooley knew that to do so was illegal, however, that did not stop him from walking onto campus with a rifle and then turning it on himself for his final exit.

Apparently, and thus far (and putting on my network troubleshooter's cap and with what little knowledge we have on this matter to date), sophomore year at UT Austin can be a fatal experience. It certainly was for Tooley.

You know, on reflecting on this awhile and after reading a few more articles on the subject, I have come to believe that something about this whole affair just does not make sense. Reports of a second gunman (ruled out), the perpetrator wore a ski mask and a dark suit, a UT spokesman identified the suspect and not the police, the kid appeared to support gun ownership, he lived with his mother who ran a day care from her home and he was an only child. Something is very odd about this.

So, he was a good kid until he went to UT-A. I am not making light of this, however, I am wondering what the catalyst may have been for this sad kid to stroll onto campus in the manner that he did and then murder himself in such a violent way.

Lesson? Don't send your kids to UT-A?

Just saying...

I eagerly await more information concerning this lad's motive(s).
