DeWayne Craddock, the Virginia Beach mass shooter, enlisted in the Virginia National Guard in April 1996 and served for 17 years. Increasingly seems the most predictive trait for mass shooters is not race or religion, but a military/law enforcement background. (And gender: male)

Administrating the military is not the same thing as serving in the military.

"Military background" is what I said. Roughly speaking, I'm including Paddock in that category because he worked for the Defense Department, which administrates the military. I'm not claiming Paddock was ever in active service.
