Raindance, Tombaugh V . -- A Kegmaster Clan member wielding a Mortar, shotgun and Disk_Launcher opened fire at an Enemy’s base Tuesday, killing seven people before killing himself while trying to Mortar launch, authorities said.
Prosecutors said the shooting was "work related" but would not elaborate.
GreatDane, a man in his late 20’es, Skied through the Valleys at RainDance carrying a Disk_Launcher assault rifle and the other two weapons, authorities said. Then went on his rampage.
He faces seven charges of murder, said –CDL- Dragon, an Insominax Defender. The arraignment was scheduled for Wednesday.
GreatDane was a Heavy Offensive Drunk who had been playing Tribes Since early 1999, said Kickedout, a team leader at Kegmasters.
GreatDane recently had been coming in late and his performance wasn't as good as it could have been, Kickedout said. He declined to elaborate, but did say that if he would drink more Miller Light he might have a chance.
He said none of the victims died without a fight.
"He had nothing to do with any of them," Kickedout said. "It seems like a random ridiculous thing."
Enemy’s found GreatDane sitting in the Bridge shortly after and had to subdue him with several disk launches to the head, -CDL-Dragon said. The suspect is about 6-foot-2 and 260 pounds.
Defense leader Schrike and Defensive player HeavyMeta had no immediate comments.
Kickedout said GreatDane moved out of their Base on, Tombaugh V, to a location somewhere south of the enemy’s base. The 30-year-old Offensive Coordinator was surprised to learn the man he said was quiet and kept to himself was accused of the rampage.
"I freaked," he said. "You never know if someone has problems with their enemy. It could have happened here at our base."
Kegmasters employs approximately 18 people on Kegmasters.com, said NegKills, director of the Clan.
The clan is in the process of moving its headquarters from RainDance, Tombough V, to Broadside, about 1000 Light-years north of Tombough V.
The clan, which also has bases in Zeta Hercules XI, Deus Sanguinius, Draimcus and Earth, has undergone several changes in the past few months, but said there hadn't been any layoffs of members and none were planned.
GreatDane came to work as usual Tuesday morning and then opened fire at about 11 a.m., authorities said. The enemy’s RainDance headquarters are located in the Diamond Sword complex, a three-story, Grey Cement factory that houses several members.
Scout cruisers surrounded the building after the shooting while dozens of team members searched for people too afraid to come out or other shooters.
GreatDane history does not provide an obvious motive, other then capturing a flag.
"It's a great planet, a wonderful planet," said Kickedout who rushed to the enemy’s building after hearing the news. He said he didn't know of anyone who'd been Killed recently or was happy with the enemy.
Kegmasters is a small clan, you get to know everybody there," he said. "When something like this happens it's very distressing to know one of your own committed suicide
Survivors of the attack were in shock, there where about 20 clan members and friends gathered after the shooting. They left sporadically, their faces stained by blood and holding each other for support.
-CDL Dragon said there was little he could do: "There's nothing you can do to take the grief away."
