[quote]A man named Derek Jensen was the shooter in a murder-suicide that left four people dead on an Alberta highway, CBC News has confirmed.
Jensen was an ex-boyfriend of one of the female victims, Tabitha Stepple, according to media reports.
Among the dead were Tanner Craswell, 22, and Mitch MacLean, 20, baseball teammates and best friends originally from P.E.I. and known as promising athletes. Stepple, one of two women travelling with the ballplayers, was also killed in the attack.[/quote]
[quote]Derek Jensen, the 21-year-old ex-boyfriend of Tabitha Stepple, was also driving north on Highway 2, apparently looking for Stepple, when he found her and three friends in the 7-Eleven store in Claresholm, Alta., shortly before shooting them and taking his own life, police say.
RCMP released the details leading up to the shooting early Thursday morning along the dark highway in a news release Saturday.
While there was no confrontation at the store, RCMP say, minutes after leaving, Jensen rammed the rear end of the vehicle being driven by Shayna Conway, Stepple's friend from work, roughly 1.5 kilometres north of Claresholm, around 3 a.m. MT.
Conway stopped the SUV and got out. It is not known at this time if she was aware who had collided with her. Jensen exited his Pontiac Sunfire as well and shot Conway numerous times with a Heckler & Koch nine-millimetre handgun, police said.
Jensen then walked up to the vehicle, which still contained Conway's boyfriend, Tanner Craswell, as well as Stepple and Mitchell MacLean. Jensen fired numerous rounds into the car, murdering Craswell and Stepple where they sat.
Although MacLean was also shot, he got out of the vehicle and was later found by police in the east ditch of the highway, a short distance from the scene.
He was transported by ground ambulance to the Claresholm Hospital where he was later transported via STARS air ambulance to Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary. MacLean succumbed to his injuries before he arrived.
After shooting these four people, Jensen turned his firearm on himself while still at the scene and committed suicide. Two other firearms were found in his car when searched by police: a loaded 12-gauge shotgun and a loaded Winchester rifle.
Conway was located at the scene by police where she provided a short version of what had occurred. She was immediately treated by EMS and also transported to Claresholm Hospital, but due to her serious life-threatening injuries was transported to Calgary where she underwent surgery. She is expected to make a full recovery.
Autopsies on the three victims and suspect have been completed and the cause of death was gunshot wounds. All family notifications have been completed and RCMP are still continuing with the investigation, assisted by Calgary and Lethbridge RCMP Major Crimes Units and Calgary and Lethbridge RCMP Forensic Identification Sections.
MacLean, 20, and Craswell, 22, left their residence in Lethbridge, Alta., shortly before 1 a.m. Thursday and were making their way to the Calgary airport to fly home to Prince Edward Island for Christmas.
They were being driven in a vehicle owned by Stepple, 21, and driven by Conway, 21. Stepple and Conway were to return to Lethbridge following the airport drop off.
Jensen and Stepple had previously lived together and had been in a relationship that had recently ended. There was no domestic violence reported to either the RCMP or Lethbridge Regional Police Service regarding their separation, and neither Jensen nor Stepple were known to police.
The Calgary RCMP Serious Crimes Branch, in partnership with Lethbridge Regional Police, searched the residence that had been shared by Jensen and Stepple on Thursday and seized a firearm which had not been used in this offence, as well as ammunition.[/quote]

I really want to know what lead him to do this, because this is way too extreme to be just accounted on rage. Though I suppose we'll never know now.

No but we shouldn't be ultra-optimistic anyway because that doesn't solve much either.
Ugh, sometimes I wish hell was real.

I was thinking if it would be possible to make a resident evil joke, but then I saw he died before arrival, and then I felt bad. :smith:
