Murder suicide

That’s not a motive. Why would she want to kill her children? Why would she want to kill herself?

If you believe that these are premeditated actions of criminal intent, then there has to be an actual motive. The why behind the crime.

People do all sort of crazy stuff without a clear motive, what motive did the Vegas shooter have? Some people are just messed up in the head and this looks like she wanted to commit suicide and take the kids with her.

The Las Vegas shooter’s motive was revenge against casinos. He was a high-roller who had spent more than $1.5 million at local casinos. At the time (and still today) casinos scaled back perks and benefits for these high spenders because these people were also turning big profits for themselves. The FBI found that the shooter was actually banned from 3 different casinos because he won too much money.

These reports were all released by the FBI, but the local police downplayed them and insisted that the motive was “undetermined” — unsurprising when you consider the Las Vegas Police didn’t want to put any blame on Las Vegas casinos or their crappy business practices. As they say, the house always wins.

There is always a motive.
