Is it a Serial Killer or a Spree Killer?

Great blog post in Psychology Today about the difference between serial and spree murders, written by my friend, Katherine Ramsland.  Read it here.

The Café Racer shooting  (detailed in my book) is a good example of what started as a mass shooting when Ian Stawiki shot almost everyone in the café, and then drove downtown, where he shot a woman for no reason and stole her car, thus making him a spree killer.

Stawiki killed himself when confronted by officers in West Seattle later that afternoon.
