Lafayette theater shooter's journal: 'My death all but assured'
The just-released journal of Grand 16 Theatre shooter John Russel Houser includes chilling entries made in the hours before the shooting, foretelling his own death and the attack he would perpetrate in Lafayette.
On July 23, about 20 minutes into the 7:15 p.m. showing of the movie "Trainwreck," Houser stood up in Room 14 of the theater and opened fire, killing two young women — Jillian Johnson and Mayci Breaux — and wounding nine others before killing himself as police closed in.
Houser's journal, released Wednesday, reveals a troubled man dissatisfied with his country and his government, who called himself "radicalized" and believed America and Europe are heading for a collapse that will allow countries like North Korea, China and Russia to rise.
He called himself the Isis the U.S. should be afraid of and wrote about Dylann Roof, who killed nine people at a Charleston, S.C., church on June 17.
Houser wrote critically of black people, women and homosexuals, implying they are inferior to white men, and chastised the media, including FOX News.
