There’s no evidence of terrorism in the fiery New Year’s Day crash that saw the driver of an SUV stashed with gas canisters speed toward pedestrians and collide with a car, killing two people and injuring several more after a concert in Rochester, New York, police said.

The suspect, identified as Michael Avery, 35, of the Syracuse area, died Monday night from injuries sustained in the crash, officials said. …

However, authorities have spoken with Avery’s family and they believed he “may have been suffering from possible undiagnosed mental health issues.”

[We’ll keep an eye on this as it develops, but this looks like another event in a pattern of unaddressed risks of mental illness that goes well beyond the reach of gun control. — Ed]
