Yesterday, according to the Los Angeles Times<\/a>, Jerry Serrato shot 63-year-old Doctor Timothy Fjordbak at the El Paso Veterans Affairs Health Care System near Fort Bliss, Texas. It turns out that 48-year-old Serrato was a clerk in the Army who was medically discharged in 2007 as a specialist (E-4).<\/p>\n

Officials did not provide a motive for the shooting but said Fjordbak had reported Serrato for making a verbal threat in October 2013. The nature of the threat was not given.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think that we can guess what the threat was actually. From the Huffington Post<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Lindquist said Serrato had some sort of perceived or real grievance against Fjordbak and had said something to the effect of, “I know what you did and I will take care of it.”<\/p>\n

“It was something in public at a grocery store where Mr. Serrato approached Dr. Fjordbak, who did not recognize him, and he made a verbal threat, and that was the extent of the report.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Huffington Post conflicts with the LA Times article in that it says that Serrato had served in Iraq in 2007 and that his discharge was in 2009, so I’m guessing that neither of the reporters know what they were talking about, although it’s not surprising that HuffPo would want to throw in an Iraq deployment.<\/p>\n

The gunman, Serrato, ended up taking his own life – they should always start their rampages like that instead of ending them that way.<\/p>\n
