Apparently the patron who opened fired was upset about an almost $1000 alcohol tab.

He was a pdt flow. Spent 10 years at the regional. just shy of 3 years at AA. He was on his last mia trip before going to clt where he was from. This is hurting everyone badly. Matt was an incredible family man, wonderful pilot and very sincere. He also was one of the best RC heli AC pilots i’ve ever seen. Gonna be a very hard memorial for the pdt family and everyone else who has became friends w him at AA. RIP spatch

Such a sad and tragic event. My prayers are with the family and friends of Mr. Stapula.
While I am not familiar with the location of this incident, but I think this tragedy should shed light on the potential dangers we face in areas we fly to and layover at. Vigilance alone is not sufficient to keep yourself safe. Many cities we serve, domestic and international, are not safe places. It should be our utmost priority with the next contract to secure safe areas for our layovers, especially in places like San Juan, South/ Central America, etc., and not to mention the awful downtown areas we stay in domestically.
Again, condolences and prayers to the family and friends of the deceased. Stay safe out there brothers.

Very sad indeed. Many prayers and wishes for his family.
I started my career with Eagle based in SJU. My crash pad was just down the street from this location.
We used to walk to the airport for morning Ready Reserve....seems that things are far worse now than they were in 2004.
Sad that someone loses their life over a bar tab.

Isla Verde to the airport is walkable, Santurce to airport isn't. (well, it is but it's a good 1.5 hours to walk).
