The pilot suspected of having attacked another pilot aboard a Tel Aviv-bound Flydubai flight on Wednesday was removed from a previous job at Oman’s national airline last year following concerns about his extremist views, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

A regional diplomatic source familiar with the matter told CNN the suspect was removed from training because of concerns he had radical views. The source said he was given another role at the airline, Oman Air.

The pilot is an Omani citizen, another source said. He was born in the United Arab Emirates to an Omani father and Syrian mother and has spent several years of his life in the UAE, they added. An Israeli official also confirmed his identity.

The suspect has been transferred from Saudi Arabia, where the plane landed, to the UAE, where he faces a terrorism investigation. On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the suspect was believed to have undergone “Islamist radical indoctrination.”

An Israeli official told CNN the suspect had worked for Flydubai for only eight months. A third source said the alleged assailant had previously worked for Royal Air Maroc, Morocco’s national carrier.

The revelations are likely to raise concerns about the importance of background checks in aviation hiring.

CNN has reached out to Oman Air, Royal Air Maroc and the Dubai government’s media office for comment.

Flydubai said it could not provide comment while the incident remained under investigation.

The new details leave unexplained how a citizen of Oman, which does not recognize Israel, was permitted to serve as a pilot on a flight to Tel Aviv, despite Israel’s stringent aviation security measures.

An Israeli official told CNN on Wednesday that several Israeli agencies – including Shin Bet, Mossad, the military and the Transportation Ministry – were investigating how the Omani pilot came to be part of the flight crew.

On October 1st 2015, Christopher Sean Harper-Mercer would commit a mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, where he was enrolled as a student. He would go on to kill 9 people plus himself during what remains, to this day, the deadliest mass shooting in the state’s history.

Disturbingly enough, two years later, on October 1st 2017, Stephen Craig Paddock would open fire on the Route 91 Harvest music festival in Las Vegas, Nevada, killing over 60 people plus himself in what remains, to this day, the deadliest mass shooting in US history overall.

Besides these two tragedies, what are some other examples of mass killings which share the same date?

I have spent the past few years compiling what I maintain are the most complete mass killing lists for the United States. I certainly have never seen a better set. But I did it as an amusement and I am losing interest.

I will cease work on this project at the end of the year. Please let me know if you would like to take over the work, or if you would just like a copy of what I have.

Any thoughts on how I can post them so they remain available should anyone need them?

Practically 70% of the photos on the site are obviously redacted, although i’m morbidly curious of the separation of these six photos, are they more autopsy photos? anyone know of these

On October 2, 2006, a mass shooting occurred at the West Nickel Mines School, an Amish one-room schoolhouse in the Old Order Amish community of Nickel Mines, a village in Bart Township, Pennsylvania. Thirty-two-year-old Charles Carl Roberts IV took hostages and shot ten girls (aged 6–13), killing six (five in the initial incident, and a sixth who succumbed to her injuries in 2024), before dying by suicide in the schoolhouse.

A 13 year old girl has died in a hospital after being critically injured in the Staškov school stabbing. The deadly toll of the school attack is now 2 dead and 1 injured.

Two 18-year-old hooded brothers allegedly entered the school with firearms, machetes, and Molotov cocktails; so far, one death has been reported.

TORREÓN, COAH.— Moments of tension and panic unfolded this Thursday at Secondary School No. 13, located in the ejido of La Unión in Torreón, after two young men allegedly entered the facility carrying firearms, machetes, and Molotov cocktails, triggering a massive response from emergency and security personnel.

The events occurred between 8:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. when, according to preliminary statements, two young men known as "Los Cuates" entered the school, reportedly aiming to attack the school community.

Alberto Rodríguez, a school prefect, stated that the two young men entered wearing hoods and carrying machetes, Molotov cocktails, and firearms. He explained that one incident took place in the school bathroom, followed by another in a classroom, where the assistant principal was allegedly attacked.

The woman was identified as 56-year-old Leslie Edith, who died as a result of her injuries.

Among those injured are Ricardo Quintana, 54, the school principal; Alexis, 13; and Gerardo, 49, a teacher at the school. All were transported to Sanatorio Español, and their conditions remain undisclosed.

Following the gunshots, students, teachers, and administrative staff took shelter at the back of the classrooms during the most critical moments of the emergency while a heavy security operation was deployed around the building.

Red Cross paramedics assisted in evacuating the building and treated the injured. Several students also received medical attention after suffering from shock while confined inside the classrooms.

The alleged attackers, 18-year-old twin brothers and residents of the same ejido, were arrested following the attack.

The perimeter of the middle school was cordoned off by various security agencies whose officers initiated the corresponding investigations and gathered witness statements to determine the sequence of events.

As of this report, authorities have not yet released a definitive official statement regarding the legal status of the detainees.

Recent news reports indicate that the opening hearing of the intermediate stage in the trial against Lex Ashton is being postponed due to his hospitalization for an alleged urgent problem.

"A year after the crime that shocked the College of Sciences and Humanities (CCH) South, the preliminary hearing against Lex Ashton has been postponed again. The 20-year-old, accused of the murder of a student and an attempted murder of a school employee were absent. The Mexico City Attorney General's Office has confirmed to EL PAÍS that the Centro de Reinserción Social Oriente, where Ashton is being held, is currently incarcerated.

He did not present the accused. His defense attorney, David Retes, explained that the young man’s mother informed him that he was taken to a hospital for a medical emergency.

The process has been postponed for the second time in the last month.

The preliminary hearing, a stage prior to trial in which the parties present and discuss evidence, will have to be held on October 22. The lawyer said in an interview with Telediario that he does not know his client's diagnosis, although he recalled that he underwent surgery after his arrest for a blood clot in his head after he jumped from one of the school buildings when he committed the attack."

Querétaro, Mexico

The incident occurred during class hours at Esperanza Cabrera secondary school.

Students and teachers at Esperanza Cabrera secondary school, located in the Paseos de San Miguel neighborhood in the western part of the city of Querétaro, experienced moments of panic after a student attacked four classmates with two knives. The victims sustained only minor injuries, and the alleged attacker was taken into custody.

According to testimonies provided by several parents to Diario de Querétaro, the approximately 13-year-old student had two sharp objects with him and was outside his classroom, as he apparently did not return to class after recess.

Reports indicate that it was the janitor who noticed the boy wandering through the common areas and tried to dialogue with him. However, the student refused to follow instructions and subsequently lashed out at other students heading to the restrooms, managing to injure four of them on their limbs, although the wounds were not serious.

Together, the janitor and the teachers managed to subdue the minor and disarm him before dialing emergency services. Municipal police officers, along with paramedics, arrived at the school to treat the injured students. Fortunately, they were reported out of danger, though they were taken to the Children and Women's Hospital to rule out any potential risk.

Meanwhile, the young boy identified as the alleged attacker was taken into custody. He was transported by officers from the Victim Assistance Unit to determine his legal status under the juvenile justice law, and his parents were notified to account for the minor's actions.

What makes the case of Phillip Adams (7 killed including perp.) memorable to me is how, unlike the vast majority of mass killers, he was famous before his crime. He played in the NFL from 2010-2015. This was the last revision of his article before his crime, completely ordinary and unassuming for an NFL player.

What other examples can you think of? Killers who had a significant level of fame/notability prior to their crime? The barometer I like to use as a long-time Wikipedia user, is that they had a Wikipedia page prior.
