EDUARDO SENCION KILLS 5 IN NV. IHOP MASSACRE

'MENTALLY TROUBLED'

A CRAZED gunman walked into a Carson City IHOP and started shooting, killing at least five people before turning the gun on himself.
By the time he was finished four people would be dead, including three National Guardsmen and Eduardo Sencion had killed himself, ruling out any possibility of an explanation for his appalling massacre.
Arriving at around 9am, the 32-year-old pulled up in his blue minivan with a 'Support Our Troops' sticker on it.
Then he pulled out an AK47 assault rifle and without blinking he started to fire, blasting a woman on a motorbike, before charging into the restaurant. There he shot each of the five Nevada National Guard troops sitting together   - three of whom didn't make it.
Another woman was also shot and killed, before the man family
members described as "mentally troubled" turned the gun on himself.
Hours later, he was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Investigators are struggling to find a motive for the massacre, but Carson City Sheriff Kenny Furlong did say that they did not think the shooter set out to target people in military.
He added: "Of course, it's clearly a heavy, heavy concern from here."
Servicemen flocked to a Reno hospital after the shooting, nervously waiting for word on those killed and hurt.
Spc. Lee Amato, 33, a Nevada Army National Guard member told CBS Nevada: "It's hard to believe something like this would happen to really good people," said. "It's like a hole, something taken away. It's mind-boggling and hard to comprehend."
"You go a whole tour in Afghanistan and no one is shot ad you go to IHOP and several are shot. It's a shock."
The names of the victims, including the three Guard members — a woman and two men — who were killed, were not immediately released.
