CBS News and location station KWCH identified the suspect in the Hesston, Kansas attacks that left four people dead and 14 wounded as Cedric Larry Ford, 38, an employee of Excel Industries.
Harvey County Sheriff T. Walton said the gunman was killed at the factory by responding authorities.
Ford’s Facebook page identified him as a painter at Excel Industries, a location where he had checked in multiple times.
He posted a September 2015 video shooting a high-powered rifle in a vacant field and another photo with a firearm in February.
As of late Thursday, police had not publically confirmed the identity of the shooter or any of the victims.
A KWCH12 journalist reported that Ford had earlier convictions for multiple burglaries, grand theft, and fleeing police, among other charges, between 1997 and 2000 in Florida.
Why do I have a feeling that this will be a case of gun violence the Republicans mention?
… because you’ve been paying attention…
You really couldn’t have paid me to believe that guy, an average looking black man, would be the shooter. Once again, this shit really isn’t about race or ideology. This country’s sick obsession with guns is destroying all of us.
Does anyone have any info on just why this guy did this? Is he considered a disgruntled employee? Or?
I just glad this man had easy access to firearms. Just like Republican Jesus wants for The Most Exceptional Nation Ever.
