I held off blogging about this because there still so little information that was available about the shooter or his motivation.
However now we know that the suspect's name is Gavin Long from Kansas City, who may have been with a group of others from Missouri that the police were already on the lookout for.
We also know that police responded to a call about a man walking down the street with an assault rifle, and when they arrived three were shot and wounded and three others were killed at the scene.
The shooter, Gavin Long, was also killed in the exchange of gunfire.
Here is some amateur video taken during the shooting.
It does not show very much but you can hear the shots being fired.
As of this post I do not yet know the shooter's ethnicity, but I have read that he was wearing black clothing and a mask to hide his identity.
There is also some talk on MSNBC that the shooter might be associated with the sovereign citizen's movement, but that has not been confirmed by law enforcement.
I will update this post as new details come in.
