A judge found probable cause to hold Aaron Ybarra, 26, wthout bail, a day after he was arrested for shooting that killed student Paul Lee, 19, and wounded two other young people, one critically, at Seattle Pacific University in Washington state.In a statement filed in court, Seattle police said Ybarra admitted to detectives after his arrest that he wanted to kill as many people as possible and then himself.
But instead, a student building monitor pepper-sprayed and tackled Ybarra as he reloaded his shotgun. Police said the gunman had 50 additional shotgun shells and a hunting knife.
There have been a series of horrific shooting sprees in the US in recent years, amid a fierce debate over the

Several of the attacks shave been on or near university campuses. About two weeks ago, according to police, Elliot Rodger killed six people and injured seven before turning his gun on himself in a rampage in Isla Vista, California, near two universities.
Ybarra had a long history of mental health problems for which he had been treated and medicated, his lawyer, public defender Ramona Brandes, said...
