Mass killer Huff stalked rave community, panel reports

[flamingyouth]

A panel looking into the Capitol Hill mass slaying has found that a depressed and lonely Kyle Huff spent the final weeks of his life stalking the rave community.

Fueled by the belief that he had been rejected by ravers, the 28-year-old Seattle man scoured the Web for information about rave girls and Ecstasy. He sought information about upcoming shows, the panel has determined.

Early on the morning of March 25, Huff was invited to an after-rave party at a home at 2112 E. Republican St. on Capitol Hill. He left the party shortly after 7 a.m., then returned minutes later with a shotgun and handgun and opened fire, killing six people. Huff committed suicide when confronted by police.

During a community meeting tonight on Capitol Hill, Seattle Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske planned to join the panel of four crime experts hired to investigate why Huff caused one of the largest massacres in city history. The allegation that Huff's depression and anger at the rave community had caused him to lash out was included in a 35-page report released tonight by the panel.

I always want to figure out why someone did what they did. Sometimes there is lots to look at and the final answer is still unknown.
