'Hellbent' Seattle Pacific University Shooter Obsessed With Columbine: Cops

The lone gunman suspected of opening fire and killing a student at Seattle Pacific University was outgoing and friendly in his everyday life -- but secretly, he was "hellbent" on shooting up a school, police say.

Aaron Ybarra, 26, of Mountlake Terrace, allegedly walked through a campus hall on Thursday firing a shotgun. In addition to one fatality, another three people were injured before he was pepper sprayed and tackled by a heroic student. Police didn't immediately reveal a motive, but did tell KIRO-TV that Ybarra visited the Colorado site of the Columbine shootings

He wasn't a student at the school -- he just wanted to commit murder, police said.

"He was hellbent on killing a lot of people today," a law enforcement source told the Seattle Times.
