Louisiana Shooter Had ‘A History of Mental Illness’
By Matt Vespa, July 24, 2015 Town Hall
More information has been released about John Russel Houser today. Houser opened fire in a movie theater during the 7 p.m. showing of Amy Schumer’s “Trainwreck” last night in Lafayette, Louisiana, which killed two people and injured nine. The Grand Theater where the incident took place is also a gun free zone. Houser committed suicide during the event, though he had parked his blue Lincoln Continental by the exit, prompting authorities to suspect that he had planned to flee the scene. He had lived in a Motel 6 in Phenix City, Alabama, which is right across the river from Columbus, Georgia, where the Columbus State University acknowledged that Houser had attended the institution, receiving a degree in accounting in 1988. He was also active in local politics. Yet, he also had a history of mental illness, and was considered generally unbalanced by members of his family. They described him as suffering from maniac depression, possibly bi-polar disorder in court documents. In fact, Mr. Houser appears to have been a very unwell man (via AP):
