Ex-Marine Suffering From Depression Guns Down 2 Co-Workers, Kills Self

OLD BRIDGE, N.J. (TheBlaze/AP) — An ex-Marine who had suffered from depression and once tweeted about killing “everyone I see” opened fire in camouflage gear at a New Jersey supermarket, gunning down two co-workers before he killed himself, authorities said.

Terence Tyler, 23, left his night clerk shift at a Pathmark store in Old Bridge Township around 3:30 a.m., drove off and returned 20 minutes later to the closed store with a handgun and an assault rifle similar to an AK-47, Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce Kaplan said. About 12 to 14 workers were still there, inputting new prices into the computer.

Terence Tyler Shoots Two Co Workers, Kills Self at Old Bridge Supermarket in New Jersey

Tyler fired more than 16 rounds from his rifle – shooting at an employee standing outside and firing as he entered the store, blowing out the front windows, authorities said. He shot at five other workers in an aisle, killing Christine LoBrutto, 18, and Bryan Been, 24, Kaplan said.

“I do not believe that they were specifically targeted. I believe everybody in the store was a target,” said Kaplan.

Tyler, who began working at the supermarket less than two weeks ago, drew his handgun and killed himself, the prosecutor said.

The motive was under investigation. But family members said Tyler had been discharged from the Marines two years ago after suffering from depression and had never gotten over his mother’s death; the five-year anniversary was coming up next week, they said.

And on a Twitter account where he posted in 2009, with a photograph identified by family members as Tyler, he posted about hating Marine life.

“I’m starting to see why plp go on killin sprees,” he wrote in October 2009, using the handle (at)Tylerbkstyle . And these m—-f—– are reeeeeeally pushin my kill everyone I see button.”

At the top of Tyler’s Facebook page reads the motto, “Be optimistic. All the people you hate are going to eventually die.”

KSHB has more details:

Kaplan and police walked through the shooting scene at the supermarket Friday morning, with two long windows in the front completely shot through. Evidence markers were placed next to broken glass outside the store, in a suburban shopping center about 40 miles south of Manhattan. Several ammunition magazines were recovered along with Tyler’s rifle and a .45-caliber handgun, he said.

John Niccollai, president of a foodworkers union, said many of the employees working escaped the gunfire when an assistant manager got many of them to flee out the back door.

Breen and LoBrutto were both cashiers who normally worked day shifts, but pulled overnight shifts every few weeks to input new price changes, Niccolai said.Tyler began just worked for Pathmark since Aug. 20 as a night clerk stocking shelves.

Pathmark worker Miranda Miranda said she steered clear of Tyler. “The way he looked at me, he gave me an uneasy vibe,” she said.

Miranda had regularly worked the overnight shift on Thursday but said LoBrutto agreed to take over the shift for her a few weeks ago. “That could’ve been me,” she said of LoBrutto.

Tyler was discharged from the Marines in 2010 after just under two years in the service in Twentynine Palms, Calif., the Marines said. The infantryman from New York City never served overseas, said Marine spokeswoman Capt. Kendra Motz. She wouldn’t comment on the circumstances of his discharge.

His uncle, Christopher Dyson, said he left after suffering from depression, and a cousin said he had been hospitalized and was never happy with the Marines. Tyler, who also lived in San Diego, left California in June to move to New Jersey, where he lived with his uncle.

“He was a quiet cat, you know?” Dyson said. “We don’t know anything that would compel him to do this.”

His cousin, Shanteya Dyson said Tyler had not been the same since his mother died of cancer. His father died when he was young.

“That was his best friend. He was always a quiet guy. But he got more quiet. He really didn’t speak at all. He was just blank,” said Dyson.

Tyler spent the July 4 weekend drinking at Jersey shore bars with Manase Acheantong, who said Tyler was his friend’s cousin.

“We went out. We had drinks. He was a normal kid. He didn’t start no fights. He didn’t seem crazy,” said Acheantong, 25, of Old Bridge.

Pathmark’s parent company, Montvale-based Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. said Friday the company is “deeply saddened” by the shooting and is cooperating with investigators.

A vigil was planned Friday at Old Bridge School for LoBrutto and Breen, who both graduated from the school. LoBrutto, who was a horn player in the school band, graduated this year, Schools Superintendent Timothy Brennan said. Breen graduated in 2006.

Jessica Ruano knew Christina from school. “She was a really bubbly girl,” said Ruano, 16. “She was silly. She was sweet.”

      BLACK PANTHER PARTY IS WRITTEN ALL OVER THIS PATHMARK MASSACRE.

      The NJ Star Ledger story about this massacre suppresses the Black Panther connection yet the reporting journalists allowed enough hints out to let the public know. The AK47 is the preferred weapon of the Black Panther Party because AK47s cannot be traced. AK47s are manufactured in Russia or China and are not test fired at the factory like all American manufactured weapons. Samples of the fired bullets from each American gun are sent to the FBI crime lab so the origin of the gun can be identified and its paper trail tracked. Not so with an AK47.

      The NJ Press is a co-conspirator in this massacre by their cover up of this Path Mart massacre.

    I just moved to New Jersey and I know this story is not true! Joisey has gun control laws that rival Chicago’s (oops sorry if that was racist). This man could not have had a gun, they are illegal ya know. I do know that if I were in that store my family and I would have died. I would have had a Virginia concealed carry permit and an empty holster. But at least I would have died without offending Gov Christie’s anti-gun sentiments. I personally like Christie but I refuse to compromise on the Second Amendment, he will not get my vote until I have a New Jersey Shall Issue Concealed Carry Permit and a modern update to the state’s tyrannical gun control laws.

    Superman would have written this story as Clark Kent? If Superman could be anything he wanted to be, why was he Clark Kent?

    Do we really have proof beyond a shadow of a doubt the man was depressed, or that depressed people are motivated to commit violence? Do we know what the cryptic words meant posted, almost as a riddle, harkening back to the days of Batman and Robin?

    We may never know the thoughts of the man, now that he is gone, whether he took solace in his own philosophy, or whether he worshiped at the alter of false hate based on creed or color? We may never know if he was but another terrorist, aiming his weapon at the heart of America, like a radical militant mind clouded by darkness and hate, hundreds of miles away?

    We may never know, but one thing, we will pick up the pieces, try to comfort his family and friends, and volunteer our time to help prevent another senseless act of violence that leaves us wondering why it happened, and from crossing our minds in the future? We will pray for the future and not ignore the present, or its dangers, or its fears? We shall triumph over fear by the grace of God and his teachings?

      They are saying “depression” in order to justify taking the guns from veteran’s by making depression a worse disorder than it is. Lots of veterans have been treated for depression, mostly mild cases. they are using it to go after the vets. A veteran in Ohio recently was visited by police who confiscated his guns and was ordered to appear before a judge for mental evaluation. He committed no crimes, he threatened no one, he didn’t even make any crazy remarks on facebook.. I am sure the VA is illegally turning over medical information to the police and FBI.

    I was going to say, why did they start the story with “veteran xyz, blah blah blah”, as there are millions of veterans out there that do not make the news, and there are plenty of people out there who are not veterans who shoot people for reasons we don’t agree with? Then I read the article…

    Quote:
    At the top of Tyler’s Facebook page reads the motto, “Be optimistic. All the people you hate are going to eventually die.”

    Granted, it does not look like this person knew how to communicate, or was this coded ‘rascist’ wording, since the liberal media thinks there is code words in everything over there at MSNBC or whatever the network is that is using that word all the time?

    Or did it simply mean, all the people he knew, are going to die some day, according to his belief, and that he could take some comfort knowing that he did not have to do anything for that to happen? Or was “code language” that his rationale for ending his life early was rational to him as a terrorist, that his “sacrifice” was worth it?

    Don’t worry, some chemically enhanced minded (pill popping?) pyscho-babble doctor is on the case as we speak, I’m sure if they can figure out a way to spin it in a way that might grab your attention for a couple more news cycles, we will hear all about it?

      I don’t know wether the media puts more emphasis on the veterans that go loopy, or there’s some connection between being in the military and going off the deep end. I’m a veteran and I never thought of killing anyone. I’ve been out for 24 years, tough. Didn’t the military experiment on military personell with LSD?

    colt1860.

    The neo-con, shortened neo-conservative, was a label coined for former liberals that became conservatives, via wisening up or mugged by reality. That is the original meaning of it. The label has been later “repurposed” by different groups to mean something else.

    1.
    Nationalism? In the light that you put the federalism or state right on the other side, it does not compute. The federalism as political ideology is in opposition to state rights. Unfortunately, they have to co-exist, but it is an eternal battle for a bigger pie. Nationalism, unless it is in an exclusive mode, is nothing to be derided. It is usually reflected in “pride” to be an American, which for me as a Canuck is perfectly acceptable and understandable. The thing is, I don’t see any connection with neo-conservatism here.

    2.
    So JFK/LBJ were neo-cons? Riddle me that, please. The meaning of “carry big stick and walk softly” was not to pretend, because pretty soon the subterfuge would be revealed. One has to be ready to use it and the potential recipients must know that. Granted, interventions should be considered very carefully, but a point could be made that the other side(s) does not sleep either. Google asymmetrical warfare.

    3.
    You mean statists. Again, I fail to see a connection with neo-conservatism. I recall several neo-conservatives (former libs) and none of them was statist after conversion.

    4.
    Keynesian theory supporters are no conservatives, neo- or otherwise

Surely, that’s to denigrate the military. TheBlaze always seems to join in. EX is ex. What is current? Isn‘t that what’s relevant. In this case it would seem that the shooter is CURRENTLY a UNION worker. Why doesn’t TheBlaze play the same association game, but from the right? “A disgruntled member of XXXX Union today shot and killed two co-workers…”

He will replace those if need be for sex and fear, neither of which are very good replacements. Society gets what it deserves.

That idea simply pawns off your personal responsibility and anyone else’s who happens to commit evil. What this really is, is a result of the progressives and their coddling of all people to the point where a person is not even allowed to just feel bad every once in a while, grieve for their loss, and get over it.

      Coyote6, I sort of get what you are implying, but in my opinion, “The Devil”, even in Biblical context, is an allegory. Too late to provide some food for thought, maybe another time, just a quip that if one studies Sumerian literature, many things become more clear. After all Abraham came from Ur, a Sumerian city, and brought with him the edifice, the basic skeleton of what later became the Old Testament.

The marine who left his base in afghanstain and went and killed 13 men women and children (cizilians) was on multiple tours and had watched his buddys leg get blown off that day. He had asked to be assigned to the states, they said no, put him on prozac and sent him back. I cant even begin to understand what these people go thru.

      @2×4 #4 does. Military interventionism would be IMPOSSIBLE without huge debt and a limitless amount of money supply, albeit paper fiat money. Keynesian theory ignores constitutional limits, and further advocated for social policy or public policy to overstep any constitutional block. Our Constitution demands an official Declaration to be made before we engage in a war, e.g. War of 1812, WW1, WW2, etc.

      # 1 is not a contradiction. Nationalism today means an all powerful, centralized, all encompassing, authoritative Government. It has NO resemblance to the federalism expressed by Washington or Hamilton, which was based on a Constitutional Republic.

      #2 is not a contradiction. Military interventionism today bears NO resemblance to anything our forefathers considered National Defense. Even so called “neo-cons” agree to this, for they quickly point out that “9/11″ and Al Qaeda changed everything.

      #3 is not a contradiction. Progressivism started in the early 1900′s by EVANGELICALS. They were ardently against drunkenness and alcohol consumption. That form of Government intervention gave root to social progressivism. Social conservatism attempts to do the same today. While real social conservatives would in time past enforce their beliefs in their private lives, and through their local communities, social conservatives today look for answers in our national Government or public policies, in contrast to persuading local towns or respecting state rights.

He’d likely shoot a black employee as well, if being present. E.G., this is likely one of these “going postal” occurrences.

    That’s because the sea is going to give up the dead, and as God crushes the fountains of the deep – most people who aren’t supposed to be here, aren’t gonna be here anymore.

      Exrepublisheep

      Maybe we should ignore this person or report their comments as extraneous. I don’t think they are playing with a full deck

      Walkabout, often Exrepublisheep’s amongst them.

      Granted, I agree that Waters-dude would fit neatly into Delphi’s Oraculum, and without drugs! (That one is conjectural, he may be heavily into shrooms)

      riseandshine, sure, honest, decent leftie. If you convince me that such a thing is even possible, I’ll consider it. For the moment, I just have to say that I had 30 years of direct experience with leftism (as in regime) and it may be an uphill battle for ya.

    this is why allot of veteran don’t get hired, because there experiences or violent nature can randomly come out like a pitbull and employers are very worried about that, which is why many of them apply to goverment and law enforcement jobs because that nature is valued in that line of work in some places.

      Actually, my experience as a Sgt. in the Marines has HELPED me progress in my career as an attorney. My first boss (at least, my first boss at a law firm) told me that my experience in the military encouraged him to give me a shot because he loves the discipline instilled in the military.

      INDY. YOU are an ABSOLUTE and UNEQUIVOCABLE half-wit.

      Tell nurse Ratched to make an appointment for you with Dr Paul so he can change up those meds eh?

      Yeah, yeah, yeah… I know he’s an OB-WAN-GYNOBI… but I’m sure he has some pull there at the psych unit.

      Never let it be said that INDI doesn‘t give it his all when he’s insulting the Military, Law Enforcement AND authority in general. INDI is one highly motivated half-wit for Libertarianism.

      actually you folks are their enemies sending them off to war and making them go through hell, for non defensive wars, not us, were trying to bring them home, your trying to keep them Iraq for 100 years. so who is there enemy? you Neo Cons are. Who is taking away the constitution, lowering standard of living and making oppressive laws for them to enforce, Neo Cons, not libertarians. we may criticize what they do but we still value human life unlike you Neo Conservatives that use them as disposables. we are also willing to forgive people when they change their ways, we Libertarians are actually pro life, while Neo conservatives are pro death.

      Individualism, please read the story.
      This guy had never been deployed and therefore never saw the horrors that combat has to offer.
      He simply couldn’t handle being in the Corps.
      Discharged after two years is unusual and would be medical or less than honorable in nature.
      I served 6 years in the Infantry (1977-1983).
      I served in a peacetime military with no more stress from serving than this young man.
      I would blame the DoD for releasing this troubled man into society with no follow-up.

      the solution to this problem thought is to allow and or require employees to have a loaded gun in the work place to protect each other and pay for employee gun practice so you don’t have to worry about who you are hiring as much.

    This guy was never sent overseas….
    He was just angry, unhappy and unstable. I don’t think it has a whole lot to do with his military service.
    Unless you count that he was made to face the Reality about himself and his abilities while in the US military. That’s often far different from Participation Trophies, and the “you’re-special-just-because-you-can-fog-a-mirror” culture, into which So Many 20-somethigs have been indoctrinated in the schools…

    (Though I don’t disgree that our government treats active-duty personnel pretty badly, with their constantly changing the Rules of Engagement to satisfy an apologist administration who does Not Want the US Military to be strong. Unless he can use it to his advantage… Know what I mean?
