The victims ranged in age from 5 to 61 years old.
The shooter has been identified as a 33-year-old former security guard, Marcio Garcia, who was armed with an AR-15 style rifle and had at least one other weapon.

His extensive social media presence included neo-Nazi and white supremacist-related posts.

A mass shooting is defined as an incident in which four or more people are shot.

Chris Brown and his security team reportedly had a scuffle with Usher at a skating party that Usher threw for Brown's birthday.
Allegedly, Chris Brown got upset after seeing Tiana, whom he had a problem with after she dropped out of a performance with him at the AMAs.
It is unclear whether this was the cause of the scuffle, and the details are still uncertain.
Chris Brown was reportedly visibly drunk at the time of the incident.

The scuffle reportedly happened outside, and some reports claim Usher was left with a bloody nose.
However, the next day, a video surfaced in which Chris Brown said everything was cool.
There is speculation that the incident was staged as part of a marketing plan for a possible future versus battle between Usher and Chris Brown.

Little Meech, who plays Big Meech in the BMF series, and some of the other cast members are upset about the movie.
Little Meech commented on DaVinci's post, who plays Terry in the BMF series, asking who was playing Terry in the movie.
Mitch Lewis, who is a producer or owner of the BMF series, commented on DaVinci's post, expressing his disapproval of the movie and who was playing them.
Jess Hilarious responded to Mitch Lewis, telling him to watch his mouth and relax because she is in the movie.
Little Meech did not respond to Jess Hilarious' comment.
Jess Hilarious and Little Meech's beef is not personal, but rather a legitimate gripe Little Meech has with the movie.

The movie is set to release on BET in October.
Some people believe that Little Meech's gripe is unfounded, as 50 Cent is also doing a BMF series.

Glenn Cooper, an Oakland Athletics broadcaster, has been suspended after using a racial slur during a pregame show.
Cooper was trying to tell the audience that he had visited the Kansas City Negro League Baseball Museum, but he did not say "Negro".
Cooper used the N-word with the hard "r" at the end, which is considered a racial slur against black people.
Cooper's co-host did not react to the comment during the live broadcast.
Cooper has been suspended until a review of his on-air racial slur is complete.
The difference between "Negro" and the N-word was explained, with "Negro" being a proud achievement/event in black history, and the N-word being an insult.
The definition of a "N-word moment" was also explained, as per the Boondocks TV show.
The incident has sparked outrage and raised questions about the lack of diversity in sports broadcasting.
Cooper has since apologized for his use of the racial slur.
The Oakland Athletics organization has also issued a statement condemning the use of racial slurs and supporting diversity and inclusion.
The incident highlights the need for continued education and awareness about the impact of language and the importance of cultural sensitivity.
The use of racial slurs in any context is unacceptable and reinforces systemic racism.
