Louis McGlothlin, 73, opened fire in a laundromat in Lafayette, Indiana, on December 5, killing one man and injuring two others before taking his own life. Newly released police video shows McGlothlin believed the city was "controlling his mind." Police found videos where McGlothlin expressed conspiracy theories about Lafayette and indicated he had been planning the attack for years. He drove from Nebraska to Indiana, targeting the laundromat because it was a familiar, open business. The shooting left the community shaken. Police have stated there were no known connections between McGlothlin and the victims. The department released the video to provide transparency amid public interest.
