This is so tragic. I just can't believe something like this can happen. How can you just shoot three innocent people. It truly is sad.

Kolina Hocevar period 5 gunman kills 3 men
Three members of two popular Iranian indie bands who lived and worked in the United States were shot and killed in Brooklyn early Monday by a fellow rocker who then turned the gun on himself, according to the police. The dead included Soroush Farazmand, 27, whose rock band the Yellow Dogs was featured in a 2009 CNN report about Iran's burgeoning underground rock scene. Farazmand's brother, Arash, 28, a drummer with the band the Free Keys, was also shot and killed at the same location as was a third Iranian musician, Ali Eskandarian, 35. The shooter, who took his own life on the rooftop of the building, was identified as Ali Akbar Mohammadi Rafie, 29. Police said the gunman, armed with a .308-caliber rifle, allegedly went floor-to-floor in the East Williamsburg building, killing three people and injuring another before killing himself.

Well, this kind of stuff makes me wonder why? Why would somebody kill somebody else? I would think that the shooter must have had some type of issue with the other band members that he killed? But, why would he feel that things are so bad or that he is so upset that he needs to kill them and then himself. So very sad and unfortunate for them and their loved ones.
