This week, a young man named Ali Syed shot and killed one person known to him and several strangers on the streets, plus wounding others, in the course of an hour, before shooting himself to death.

From NY Daily news article –

The plumbing project's foreman ran toward the shooting to intervene and came face to face with Syed, who purportedly made cryptic comments about the drug industry, the foreman told KNBC.

“He said this was a result of the drug industry, the narcotics industry, and that it didn't matter because he'd be dead in 20 minutes," foreman Shane Caporaso said. "I just started running and got lucky."

Syed shot at Caporaso twice, hitting him once in the arm, KNBC reported.
