Ay yi yi...what an awful day. If this guy's life was so awful, just take yourself out, man. WHY try to take out innocent people with you. Just do us all a favor and find a quiet spot and a gun, and do your business without involving anyone else.

Kxan announced it also on the evening news. Just awful.

This keeps hitting close to home. My son just came home and told me his teacher's husband works in that building. Luckily, he got out quickly and was able to send her an email at school with his whereabouts. UGH! Horrible day.

Absolutely. But, it could have been much worse. They mentioned the evacuation plans in place. It's wonderful that they were prepared.

The "manisfesto" made for interesting reading. Stack appeared (to me) to be very sharp, offered many opinions that i pretty much agree with. He was at the end of his rope (with his failing business & with the IRS) & obviously snapped.

I don't condone flying planes into buildings or burning down houses.... but just because Stack was a nut job who snapped, doesn't make many of his opinions any less accurate....I find his story compelling given our economy & given how our govt. has evolved (& devolved) the past 30 years.

I have no info on his wife or kid & if they were in danger. If they were, it would definitely add a layer nuttiness (insanity) to Mr. Stack's actions. A sad day....but thankfully no one but Stack was killed.

I didn't read the whole thing, but I agree with what I read. Crazy that he'd try to take others out with him, but I understand his despair.

A domestic terrorist and hopefully not anyone's hero.

Wonder if some could say the IRS was "harassing" him?

This is so sad all around. How can anyone get to the point where they'd do something like this? It's a miracle that more people weren't killed.

My heart goes out to his wife and daughter, and all families involved.
