ANOTHER SCHOOL/PUBLIC SHOOTING

[HairOfTheDog]

Cincinnati, Ohio


Omar Enrique Santa Perez, 29, ^ was identified by police as the man who opened fire at Fifth Third Bank in downtown Cincinnati at around 9.10am Thursday, killing three and injuring two others before being shot dead.

Santa Perez reportedly has a criminal record consisting of mainly low-level offenses such as entering or refusing to leave the premises in Greenville, South Carolina; marijuana possession in Palm Beach, Florida; traffic offenses in Lake Worth, Florida; traffic offenses in Deerfield Beach, Florida; and disorderly conduct in Coconut Creek, Florida. 

None of those offenses are felonies and police believe he purchased the 9mm semi-automatic pistol  legally. 

Perez, who neighbors describe as reclusive and bitter, was armed and wearing a business suit when he somehow made his way into the bank's loading dock, after visiting several nearby stores.

Officials said the outcome of the attack could have been even more tragic if it were not for the actions of responding police officers, given that Perez was armed with multiple magazines and 200 rounds of ammunition.  

Police confirmed that Santa Perez never worked at the bank and doesn't appear to  have any connection to the victims.  They don't believe the shooting was an act of work place violence or terrorism and are investigating the possible motive.

The Hamilton County Coroner’s office has identified the victims as 25-year-old Pruthvi Kandepi, 48-year-old Luis Calderon and 64-year-old Richard Newcomer.  Rest in Peace.
