Seattle shooter was obsessed with Columbine, report says. Student who stopped him hailed as hero.
BY LINDSEY BEVER
Two young men — each vastly different from the other — will forever share a tie to the Seattle Pacific University shooting: one branded a suspect, the other hailed as a hero.
The suspect in the shooting at the university Thursday afternoon that left one dead and several others injured was obsessed with the Columbine High School shootings, unnamed police sources told KIRO 7. The station said the man, 26, had even visited the Colorado site where two student shooters killed 15 and injured 21 classmates in 1999.
The suspect, Aaron Ybarra, was not a student at Seattle Pacific University, police told reporters Thursday night — but the man who stopped him was.
Local media have identified Jon Meis, a 22-year-old engineering student, as the hero. He is known to be quiet, gentle and outdoorsy.

Irony of ironies but, very fitting, no?
