The man was said to have been distraught they he and his girlfriend broke up. This caused him to want to kill himself and everyone at the concert.

Police said Hyman had several weapons inside his apartment. Hyman was detained, placed in cuffs, and taken for medical treatment and evaluation. Hyman was charged with Commission of the Act of Terrorism.

A 2019 study of mass shootings published in the journal Injury Epidemiology recommended developing “a standard definition that considers both fatalities and nonfatalities to most appropriately convey the burden of mass shootings on gun violence.”

The authors of the study further suggested that “the definition of mass shooting should be four or more people, excluding the shooter, who are shot in a single event regardless of the motive, setting or number of deaths.”
