I'm relatively sure that the shooter will turn out to be someone who had a loved one suffer and die because they were refused health care coverage. This may turn out to be only the first of similar incidents.

Paulette, a practising physical therapist with over 20 years of experience, is now left to console their two sons. The family resides in a £1.2 million ($1.5 million) home in Maple Grove, Minnesota. Describing her husband as a loving father and dedicated professional, she said, "Brian was a good man who cared deeply about his work and our family."

Let's go cry in our million dollar home for our husband/father who helped millions of people get denied coverage and potentially caused the deaths of many.

Nobody cares except the rich, I hope they are all having nightmares and living in fear. The world is better off with less CEOs and investors that do nothing but tactically find ways to extract money from the poor and middle class (what semblance of it there is left) people.

Yeah, "his work" wasn't building houses, it was increasing profits by denying healthcare claims. Caring deeply about that is not a positive personality trait.

They've laid off a ton of people recently as well.
