NOT correct. The Seattle Times was the first to name the nationality and quote the shooters' quote. KING5 broadcast those reports.
Seattle-area people have just been posting what was being broadcast.
It's irresponsible to say the info "came" from FR.
Hugh's primary source was Yoni Tiki, an observant Jew who has a security consulting firm here. Yes, I've been parroting the TV coverage, but Yoni and Medved were true insiders to Hugh.
I would imagine that's where Hugh got it, however. FR certainly was the first "national" report.
