And I was sorry I did. They immediately attempt to humanize the shooter by talking about his struggles under "crushing debt" and then later in the article:

Selis appeared to be having severe financial problems, and listed the apartment complex as his residence, according to a 2015 bankruptcy filing. He owed thousands to a number of different medical centers in the San Diego area, and had been subject to claims from a number of credit card companies, records show.

In total, Selis appeared to be in debt of more than $100,000, according to the filing.

Selis was married with two children and a stepson, records show. He had worked as a car mechanic at a San Diego Ford dealership since at least 2013, according to the filing.

A picture of Selis on the dealership’s website shows the broad-shouldered man with a receding hairline flashing a half-smile while wearing a navy blue mechanic’s smock.


But the victims were summarized as:

Seven people, all adults, were struck by gunfire: four black women, two black men and a Latino man. One of the women later died at the hospital, but her name has not been released, according to Zimmerman, who said several of the victims were critically injured.


I'll refrain from linking the article, because it doesn't require any more air.
