'He had issues long before he was a Marine': California gunman's coach says he assaulted her in high school
Thirteen people, including a Ventura County Sheriff's Deputy, were confirmed dead after 28-year-old ex-marine gunman Ian David Long open fired into a crowd of revelers inside the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, California. Now, details are slowly beginning to emerge about the troubled veteran's life, including how he supposedly had a long history of violence against women that dated back to high school.
CBS Los Angeles reported that Long had assaulted his high school track coach, Dominique Colell, and she said his name was one she could never forget. The incident took place at the Newbury Park High School where the gunman was studying at the time, with Colell revealing that she was trying to figure out the owner of a phone when Long assaulted her.
Somebody explain to me how the media isn’t going bonkers that this CA shooter, David Ian Long, isn’t being identified a terrorist? Oh right! Because he’s white and not wearing a turban or looks the slightest what marginalized losers consider a terrorist! #BorderLineShooting pic.twitter.com/WlImtCG8HU
