Shayne Riggleman, a 22-year-old man from Morgantown, West Virgina, went on killing spree and murdered five people, including a pregnant woman.
Authorities believe the motive for Riggleman’s massacre was triggered after he was rejected from joining the military.
As two entries appeared on his Facebook page explain:

Shayne’s violent shooting spree came to an end when he was chased through three states before committing suicide.
State Police Capt. James Merrill said this was “one of the most heinous crimes I’ve ever witnessed.”
Police identified the dead as: 49-year-old Charles Richardson III; his wife, 50-year-old Karin Richardson; her children, 17-year-old Kevin Hudson and 22-year-old Katrina Hudson; and 30-year-old Robert Raber.
Katrina Hudson was six months pregnant.
Raber lived in the house, but Merrill would not otherwise elaborate on his relationship to the other victims.
Merrill said investigators believe all five victims in the ramshackle house were shot with a high-powered rifle. Autopsies were under way Tuesday.
