https://www.wxyz.com/news/region/detroit/ex-con-to-be-arraigned-in-triple-murder-sparked-by-comments-over-his-gym-shoesDETROIT (WXYZ) Detroit police said a possible motive into Sunday night's triple murder at a Coney Island may have involved the shooter's gym shoes.
The suspect, 25-year-old Mickey Dane Douglass, an ex-con who is still on parole for robbery, claims someone made a comment about his gym shoes that made him feel threatened.
On surveillance video that is circulating on social media, no one appears to be threatening the shooter before he pulls out a handgun and, with his left hand still in his pocket, shoots the first victim in the head at close range.
Within a matter of seconds, four men have been shot - three of them killed.

I'm not sure that it applies here. The shooter isn't a bullied teenager who gets his dad's gun and goes on a rampage,
he's a convicted felon (armed robbery) who was out on parole.
