RAVERS SHOT AND KILLED
A gunman went on a shooting rampage after a zombie rave in Seattle early Saturday morning, killing four men and two women, police say.
Dozens of rounds were fired in the house, where 20 people, ranging in age from young teens to those in their mid-20s, gathered after a larger party called "Better Off Undead." Some of the guests were "made up to look as if they were dead," police said.

One person was critically wounded in the incident. The unidentified gunman later committed suicide when officers approached him.
The victims were not identified.
Police said the heavily-armed shooter, dressed in black, fired repeatedly as he made his way into and through the house.
He then went upstairs and tried to enter a locked bathroom where a young couple were hiding. Unable to enter, he fired through the door before leaving. They were unharmed.
The shooter, who had been at the party at the home, apparently left the house about 7 a.m. local time and came back 10 minutes later heavily armed.
As the gunman walked the half-block from his black Dodge pickup truck, he spray-painted the word "NOW" in orange twice on the sidewalk and once on the steps of a neighbour's home, police said.

When he reached the house, he opened fire and then forced his way inside.
Most of the youths were asleep.
Police said the gunman was wearing bandoliers of shells for the shotgun and carrying additional clips for the handgun. In his truck, police found an assault rife and multiple "banana clips" carrying 30 bullets each.
Area witnesses said about five people lived in the house, which was described as a popular destination for teenagers and young people interested in so-called warehouse parties
this is fucking disgusting. ugh. whoever did this can rot in fucking hell.
REST IN PEACE and PLUR to all the beautiful ravers killed or hurt in this senseless crime.
