'''George Sodini''' (September 30, 1960 – August 4, 2009) was an American mass murderer who perpetrated a [[Mass Shooting|mass shooting]] at an LA Fitness health club in Collier Township, a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The attack resulted in four deaths, including that of Sodini, who took his own life. Nine other people were injured.

==Background==

Sodini was a 48-year-old systems analyst at the law firm of K&L Gates and a resident of Scott Township. He had written about contemplating carrying out a shooting, which he referred to as the "exit plan", while also revealing that he "chickened out" of carrying out such a shooting earlier in the year. His website states that he was "never married" and concludes "Death Lives!" Sodini states, "Probably 99% of the people who know me well don't even think I was this crazy." Sodini is reported to have left a note inside the gym bag stating his hatred for women. Nearly a week after the murders, it was revealed that Sodini had brought an inert grenade on a Port Authority bus on July 28, 2009. After a passenger sitting next to him notified police, he was questioned about the incident but no charges were filed.
