The following subject matter is real and only intended for mature audiences.

People are dead after deputies say a man went on a shooting rampage.

I knew a week before she died was going to kill her.

I can tell you the scene out there is absolutely horrific.

Nobody knows where this individual may strike next.

This is 10-minute murder. Welcome to 10-minute murder. Brief and bingeable true crime. I'm the host. My

name is Joe, and thank you for joining today. And thanks for taking a break from reading all the

reviews of Yankee candles on Amazon. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, it's kind of hilarious. I mean, it sucks for Yankee candle, yeah, but it's still kind of funny when you don't have a vested interest in it. People are posting about the candles that they have ordered, and they say that they don't have a scent. They lit the wick, they let it burn,

and they can't smell anything. Now on the surface, without critical thinking, yeah, I mean,

what the heck, candle company? This is supposed to smell like sage and citrus, but instead it smells

like a burning wick, and that's it. But what is a pretty common side effect of having COVID? You can't smell and you can't taste.

And I've even gone so far as to look at the COVID spikes when those are happening versus when the reviews are happening on these Yankee candles that people can't smell.

It matches up pretty perfect. Okay, maybe I'm one of the very few reading these things. But it's kind of funny to me, and it's weird, I know, and I'm weird, I get it, you don't have to tell me.

But if you're listening to me right now, and you've got a candle that you think does not

smell, maybe way to beat. Take a COVID test, make sure you're clear before you fire off that

review. Hey, if today is your first time listening to 10-minute murder, and you're wondering if you accidentally stumbled into a candle podcast. Nope. You're in the right place, I think. But if you're interested in candles, you can check out Bug, Bear, and Bean. They're very cool candles. But anyway, make sure you're subscribed to 10-minute murders so that you don't miss any future episodes.

Now, let's get to today's story.

In 2019, a single gunman terrorized New Zealand, taking the lives of more than 50 people in the country's deadliest shooting.

When a 28-year-old Australian man was then arrested, less than 20 minutes after the first gunshot,

he showed no emotion, no remorse. Instead, he wished he could have killed even more. But how had the former personal trainer

Brenton Terrant become a mass murderer in the first place?
