I take it that this is most likely a copycat workplace killing of what happened at Ford Hood?

It's already saddening enough that somelike this already happened at Fort Hood but it's even worse to see copycat acts.

These usually come in threes. It won't surprise me if there is another one tomorrow.

I don't think one had anything to do with the other. The Fort Hood incident was Jihad. The Orlando incident was economic revenge.
IMHO.

Workplace shootings. I don't think people who are crazy worry about the nuances. Kind of like the school shootings - it wasn't the motivation that mattered; it was the action of shooting up a school that was mimicked.

Motivation matters. Mimicked shootings are usually gunfights.
