Our second episode for season 6 takes a look at a tragic mass shooting at a Washington University. At the age of 26, Aaron Ybarra had years of mental health struggles and a problem with substance abuse. He was tired of not being taken seriously and had a hatred of the world. His answer was to cause as much suffering before taking his own life.
On June 5, 2014, Ybarra walked onto the Seattle Pacific University campus with a shotgun and 50 rounds of ammunition, a hunting knife, and the urge to kill as many people as he could. Sadly, he did succeed in taking one life and injuring several others, but thanks to a heroic person on campus that day, was stopped before he could do more.
Join us as we take a look at this mass shooting and the “mastermind” behind it.
