Fifth Third shooter claimed MSNBC spied on him

The man who Thursday morning opened fire in the lobby of Fifth Third Center, killing three people and injuring two others, had twice attempted to represent himself in lawsuits against major organizations he claimed had used his cell phone to harvest compromising personal information, broadcast it to a global audience via MSNBC and drive him into a state of seclusion. Based on an initial search of MSNBC's website as well as that of NBC News, no such broadcasts appear to have actually occurred. No searchable coverage of Omar Santa-Perez exists on MSNBC at all; NBC News never mentioned his name prior to Thursday morning's deadly shooting. In both cases, magistrate judges found Santa-Perez's claims "rambling, difficult to decipher and (bordering) on the delusional." The first suit was dismissed with prejudice; magistrate Judge Karen Litkovitz recommended in late June the second receive the same treatment.
