I don't know if the shooter was deliberately targeting women or if the people around him just happened to be female. If he was, though, it would fit in very well with the patterns and habits of Islamic terrorists.
The version of events that I heard was that it was (almost) exclusively ladies there in the building at the time of this incident, so even though he may not have targeted them as women (going there to 'shoot some Jews' is bad enough) he demonstrated that he is subhuman by continuing with his rampage when he saw ladies there.
I know I'm old fashioned but I've always felt that anyone who intentionally causes harm to ladies doesn't even deserve a trial....he deserves being beaten to death with a hammer or to be fed through one of Saddam's plastic shredding machines.
And I agree, he acted in a manner that we've come to associate with the IslamoNazis.
