Suspected Seattle Pacific University Shooter Described Himself as ‘Very Mellow Dude’ on Apparent Facebook Page, Fan of Television Crime Shows

Police early Friday morning identified Aaron Ybarra, 26, as the lone suspect in the Seattle Pacific University shooting that claimed the life of one and wounded three.

According to Ybarra’s apparent Facebook page, which was cited by multiple media outlets, the 26-year-old describes himself as a “very mellow dude.”

“My life is awesome!” he says, adding that he can “get along with just about anyone.”

The Facebook page also appears to indicate that he serves as a janitor at an LA Fitness branch and attends classes at Edmonds Community College. Further, it suggests that Ybarra is an avid fisher and had been hunting on at least one occasion.

In one 2011 post, he proclaimed that “God is great” and “is there for us when we need him!”

Ybarra also listed himself as a fan of crime shows “CSI: Miami” and “Criminal Minds.”

KIRO-TV reported that Ybarra had made comments referencing other school shootings.

Police executed a search warrant on his Mountlake Terrace home late Thursday. Ybarra was booked into the King County Jail and held on no bond. His rampage came to an end when an unidentified student hall monitor subdued him as he attempted to reload his shotgun, police said.
