RICHMOND, Va. -- Why?

Why did the shooter open fire as soon as state Trooper Chad P. Dermyer approached him at Richmond's Greyhound bus station?

Why did he keep shooting and fighting till the end, as state police superintendent Col. Steven Flaherty described Thursday night? Why was he in Richmond?

An official source identified the shooter as 34-year-old James Brown III of Aurora, Illinois.

CBS 6 found a James Brown III., an African-American with a long criminal history in Aurora, whose date of birth matches up with the information from our source.

1. Why the hell was this guy on the streets?

Court records show James Brown III had been charged with murder, intent to kill, aggravated battery with a firearm, failure to obey police, resisting a corrections officer, aggravated battery of a pregnant woman, aggravated battery of an unborn child, numerous drug charges, intimidation, domestic battery, felony possession of a weapon, among many driving charges.

With a record like that, looks like it was just a matter of time with this guy. Glad he won't be able to hurt anyone ever again.

3. Illinois does not do things like prison sentences.

4. Maybe they should look at the murder rate in Chicago

and rethink how they do things.

5. Police have given up.

The jobs is impossible so most of the cops have retired in place.
