November 7, 2018, was college country night at the borderline bar and grill in

Thousand Oaks, California. About 200 college students from nearby schools like

Pepperdine University and more park college flooded the place,

Donning flannel shirts and cowboy boots to reflect the bar's western theme. It

was a great way to unwind and relax on a Wednesday night after a full day of

classes. But then at 11, 18 p.m., Ian David Long showed up and everything

changed in an instant. Long was a 28-year-old former Marine with a history of

erratic behavior. People who knew him talked about his propensity to pick fights

or to curse at his mother so loudly it would wake his neighbors. He carried

with him 10 smoke bombs a 45 caliber block and 190 rounds of ammunition. Upon

entering the bar he shot and killed the cashier near the door. Then he started

firing on the patrons inside. People panicked. Some managed to hide in the

bathroom. Others were able to use bar stools to break the second floor windows

and leave outside to safety. Long remained firing his weapon and posting notes

about the carnage on Instagram. Some of the people who got away notified

police who's fed to the scene arriving within minutes. Some officers entered the

bar and got into her shootout with Long. At 11.38 p.m., Long, who must have

realized there was no escape, committed suicide, shooting himself. The

spree had lasted just 20 minutes, but it left 13 people including Long, dead.

We'll take a moment now to read the names of the shooting victims in alphabetical

order based on last name. Sean Adler 48. Cody Kaufman 22. Blake Dingman 21. Jake

Dunham 21. Ron Healus 54. Elena Housley 18. Daniel Menrique 33. Justin
