[MAIL] A business studies professor who wrote a 15-page theory on the Zodiac serial killer and posted about 'powerful organizations bent on global domination' shot-and-killed three people at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, police said.

The suspect, Anthony Polito, opened fire on the fourth floor of the Lee Business School at 11:45am, prompting a massive response from law enforcement. Around 20 minutes after their arrival, officers located the gunman, shooting him dead.

Officials say that Polito, 67, was armed with a pistol during the attack which began after his application for a professorship was rejected. Polito was on staff at East Carolina University in North Carolina between 2001 and 2017.

None of those who were killed were students. In addition to the three deceased people, another person was wounded and remains in critical condition.

Las Vegas Sheriff's statement.

Perhaps the UNLV was one of those organizations and they needed to silence the guy. For a paranoid he was a bit trusting.

#4  Wild guess....Perhaps the one's who were shot were also the one's who refused his professorship.

Well, the down side of "tenure for life".

#2  Most university professors hate students - you try answering the same stupid questions, and listening to the same lame excuses, for years. But, using a gun seems extravagant.

Probably why his professorship was rejected. Reason he left his last job....after 16 years, not mentioned.

Recommend the 48 hour rule on this one. Possibly more to come.
