MINI TRUE CRIME ROUNDUP: How mass shooters copy the tragedies of the past
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
On Monday, May 18th, 2026, two teen shooters entered the Islamic Center of San Diego and opened fire, according to authorities. It hasn’t been a week yet since suspects shot and killed two men there and then took their own lives.
Investigators have discovered a manifesto they believe the shooters penned. Those indicate that the shooters were at least partly motivated by another shooter who made headlines.
We’ll be taking a closer look at that case and its relationship to online culture – including glorification of mass shooters and more – in this episode with expert interviews.
