A man identified as 37-year-old Steve Stephens uploaded a gruesome video to Facebook, in which he shot 74-year old Robert Godwin Sr. In the head. He also posted a video about committing a number of other murders, which he called an “Easter Day slaughter,” although no more related killings have been confirmed.
Facebook (FB) drew criticism for not removing the violent videos until at least two hours after Stephens posted them. On Monday, the social network said it was reviewing how it handles violent and other offensive content, and plans to make it easier for its users to report any objectionable content for it to be removed.
Stephens fatally shot himself in Pennsylvania on Tuesday morning.
