Houston shooter wore Nazi emblems, drove a Porsche, carried 2,600 rounds of ammo, police say

A police officer investigates a car belonging to local lawyer, Nathan Desai, who shot and injured multiple people before he was killed by police at Law Street at Weslayan in Houston, Monday, Sept. 26, 2016. (Michael Ciaglo/Houston Chronicle via AP)
An attorney who injured nine people in a shooting spree in Houston on Monday was wearing military clothes and Nazi emblems during the attack, and was carrying nearly 2,600 rounds of ammunition inside a Porsche convertible parked at the scene, authorities said.
The gunman, identified by local media as Nathan DeSai, 46, was shot and killed by police after he opened fire on morning commuters near a strip mall in a mostly residential neighborhood west of downtown. Police did not publicly name DeSai as the shooter, but the Houston Chronicle and KTRK reported that they had confirmed his identity with officials.
The shooter was carrying a .45 caliber handgun and wearing military-style apparel during the shooting, with vintage Nazi emblems on his clothes and on his personal effects, police said in a news briefing Monday afternoon. A search of his apartment, which is several blocks from the scene, turned up similar military memorabilia going back to the Civil War, police said.

Fugger even had a Tommy gun - guess the good news is that he couldn't shoot.

Could have been so much worse, he started aiming red laser at cars before first light about 6:15 am. SW Houston streets are full of traffic with kids going to school & people to work by 6:45 am.
