A third National Guard member has died following the shooting rampage inside an IHOP restaurant in Carson City, Nev., authorities said late Tuesday.
Carson City Sheriff Kenny Furlong said the third Guard member, a woman, died at an area hospital, the Associated Press reported.
Her death brought the toll to five in Tuesday morning’s shootings: three members of the National Guard, a civilian woman in the restaurant, and the gunman, who took his own life. Seven others were wounded.

I can see you are very passionate about the subject (understandably so), but seriously, would it be in some fashion less bad if the guy was a US Citizen?

It wouldn't be any better if a US citizen was responsible.
The fact that it was a Mexican national throws in a different dynamic and the fact he targeted uniformed military personnel also implies a motive.
There are also issues with the firearms, the guy was a bankrupt foreign national, yet he somehow procured a fully automatic AK-47 and two other firearms.
Things do not add up here.
It also doesn't help any that we are less than a week from the 9-11 anniversary.
One more thing, why is a bankrupt, mentally ill foreign national legally allowed to remain in the US? That can't be normal.

Interesting. Do you have any links? I know they have been turning up in Mexico and Guatemala but not here in the US. Are the cartels selling them back to Americans, or are they being used by the cartel cells here in the US?

I would like to know if this AK that he had is one of the guns that was allowed to be purchased through one of the straw buyers in Operation Fast and Furious.
Those guns are turning up here in the US at crime scenes, but not much is being said about that.
If so, it would not go well for the DOJ or this Admin.
Sencion, who was born in Mexico, is a U.S. citizen who has been here for a long period of time and had no criminal history,
Spokeswoman for Nevada’s Joint Information Center, Lesley Henrie has just confirmed that Eduardo Sencion, 32, the man who on Tuesday, killed five people, including himself yesterday in a shooting spree at a Carson City IHOP is a Mexican national in the country on a valid passport.
