Don’t show your ass, okay? My first thought was that it’s probably a middle aged white male stalker. Someone obsessed with her. Unlikely someone black, but possibly.
EVERTHING is not about race.
I don’t think, looking for a motive is always to legitimize the event. We just have a tendency to look for a motive, so we can feel safer that it won’t happen to us.
For example, if she had a crazed boyfriend, then we don’t have the same boyfriend so it won’t happen to us. If it’s a psycho who just picked on her, then it could happen to us.
But in the cases of crazed Muslims who hate all non-Muslims, the media does its best to cover up this motive.
She did one of my Favorite Renditions of "The Dragonborn Comes"
That video helps bring peace. She’s in a better place right now than any of us.
She accomplished a lot in a short time.
May she rest in God’s eternal peace and may her friends and family find solace in God’s love.
I still cannot believe the news. She was so sweet - so talented - so beautiful. And she loved Jesus Christ.
Now the question is, what jail, rubber room, or other country should the shooter have been in but wasn’t ?
I was not familiar with her, but this is so sad. What gives with people these days.
Never heard her before. What a shame — she was a beautiful singer and seemed to be a positive influence in an industry plagued by sin. There is truly evil in this world!
God bless her family during this horrible time. She now sings with angels.
They are other reasons for not identifying a suspect,but concealing their race is reason number one. Another is to give them time to fabricate a cover story [lie], to avoid upsetting the sheep.

To further support your comment: “EVERYTHING is not about race.” This man described the shooter and said he thought he had red hair.
Indeed. Never heard of her until now which is in a way too late but whatever she recorded will live on. RIP and thoughts and prayers for her family and friends.
Brings back memories of what happened to Rebecca Schaeffer years ago. Be prepared for the anti-gun push.
Like many others here, I never heard of her before, but she seemed to be just the kind of young person we need so much more of. So sad to see someone with so much promise cut off before she could fly.
But one important question - aren’t concert venues “gun free zones?”
Totally distressing news and the murder of a rising Christian voice.
May our Lord comfort her parents, family, and friends.
Lord Jesus, come quickly!
I have to admit I never heard of this young woman until I saw a Freerepublic thread on her shooting late last night. Twenty-two years old is just way too young. What a terrible shame.
Her family was very middle class. Hard working. Community centered. Volunteers. Loving. She was a Christian girl - and so is her family.
Please pray for her.
VERY COOL video. What a talent, what a shame.
