Ft. Worth was his last known address, he lived there, hence he’s “from” Texas (but not a native Texan, not originally from Texas).
We know he wasn’t either a Marine nor a native Texan, because eyewitnesses reported he aimed at them from less than 100ft away with an AR-15/M-16 and missed high.
The media will do most anything to prevent mentioning the race of a perp when said perp is black or muslim or both.
This is the first time I've noticed that State was an issue (Big Bad Texas, all us bible thumping, gun toter's..)
