On Thursday night, John Russell Houser bought a ticket for a screening of Trainwreck, sat and watched the film for twenty minutes, the stood up and opened fire on the audience. Houser killed Mayci Breaux, 21, and Jillian Johnson, 33, and injured eight other people before taking his own life.
Though police have been searching for a motive for the crimes, a report from the Washington Post suggests that Houser’s intentions were pretty clear. The Post reports that Houser made multiple appearances on local television talk shows where he expressed anger over intrusive government, taxation, and the “growing power of women.”
