OK, here is the name of the perp per the press conference. They sure are dickering around about the name, though:

ABSOLUTELY NO REFERENCE TO PERP'S NAME NOR "MUSLIM"

Update: The guy won't give any suspect's name yet. This all sounds so liberal touchy-feely to me. Isolate incident, etc. etc. etc. Community outreach. FINALLY A REFERENCE TO ISLAM: "WE ARE GOING TO PROTECT THE MOSQUES"

US CITIZEN, not from Seattle

They said they have to contact relatives. Methinks they don't want an anti Muzzi backlash.

Are you kidding me? That's what they said? Who gives a rip about the mosques? What about the Jewish organizations, businesses and homes?

This is so much Political Correctness it makes me sick.

"You could infer that" (as to whether he is Muslim).

Have they said anything about protecting the synagogues?

Yeah, because we all know how likely it is that the Jews are going to carry out a pogrom.

Awww, jeez, that is really bad. PC run amok. It's Seattle so I'm not surprised just disappointed.

They did not name the perp because he is not yet booked. That is no charges have been filed yet and they are still gathering information on the hate crime aspect.

The Seattle police will file charges of murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and attempted murder.One reason they may be waiting is to see if any of the wounded women die, and then there will be more murder charges on the booking and that wil save them a lot of paper work. Also the feds need all the supporting info. they can get from relatives to support a federal hate crime charge. It may be that he will be tried federally first, but whatever the case, this POS is in jeapardy of a death sentence on both state and federal counts, with the feds likely getting the execution duty as having superior jurisdiction. In days to come we will see who gets to try him first. He could not be executed until the federal trial is over in any case.

He will likely enter an insanity plea.

But he seemed rational, laying down his weapon and going outside to surrender.
