Yeah. He started his attack in his own apartment where he murdered his two roommates. And then a third friend of theirs who came over, lying in wait for those three individuals.

And that's important, too. I don't have all the names off the top of my head right now, but... I encourage people to look at that too, because we're spending a lot of time talking about the perpetrator. And I think it's really important to center the victims too.
