such a sad story.
im confused as to whether the shooter had been kicked out of the band recently or not? did he come to the states with them, or was he someone they left behind in iran?

The shooter was not a former member of the band The Yellow Dogs, he was in another band from Iran and the two groups were acquaintances in the past. A personal conflict between the guys resulted in the dissolution of their relationship in 2012. The shooting resulted in the death of two of the members of the Yellow Dogs, Sourosh Farazmand (guitarist) and Arash Farazmand (drummer), along with a friend of theirs, fellow musician and author Ali Eskandarian. The shooter died from a self inflicted bullet wound on site.

This is not quite as close to my house as i first thought but I still have to think it's the explanation for all the police helicopters I was hearing last night in the wee hours.
When it was an 'ejected ex band member' it was easy to brew up a narrative for what happened but now idfk.
