Gunman at LA Fitness health club was bitter over women
BRIDGEVILLE, Pa. — George Sodini seethed with anger and
frustration toward women. He couldn't understand why they
ignored him, despite his best efforts to look nice. He hadn't
had a girlfriend since 1984, hadn't slept with a woman in 19
years. "Women just don't like me. There are 30 million desirable
women in the US (my estimate) and I cannot find one. Not one of
them finds me attractive," the 48-year-old computer programmer
lamented in a chilling diary he posted on the Internet.
For months, he also wrote vaguely about using guns to carry out
his "exit plan" at his health club, where lots of young women
worked out.
On Tuesday, Sodini put his plan into action.
He went to the sprawling L.A. Fitness Club in this Pittsburgh
suburb, turned out the lights on a dance-aerobics class filled
with women, and opened fire with three guns, letting loose with
a fusillade of at least 36 bullets.
He killed three women and wounded nine others before committing
suicide.
"He just had a lot of hatred in him and (was) hell-bent on
committing this act, and no one was going to stop him,"
Allegheny County Police Superintendent Charles Moffatt said
Wednesday.
The 4,610-word Web diary appeared to be a nine-month chronology
of his plans to end his misery with a shocking act of carnage at
the health club. He portrayed himself as painfully and
inexplicably lonely.
