Possible but a Delaware veterans cemetery is kind of far to drive if you have a pre-existing beef with people who live in Elkton, MD.
Without further details, it is hard to assess the shooter’s true motivations. Obviously, he can’t be asked and there is no detailed information on the encounter yet published. There are many questions to be answered. Prominent among them is why was law enforcement on the scene quickly enough to confront him in the nearby woods? Already in the cemetery for area/event security? (VE Day was last week.). Etc., etc.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the shooter had some complaint with DoD or the VA and chose the cemetery for an act of twisted revenge. Race may not even be a factor. Just bad luck.
Time will tell. I hope the media tell will as well.
The cemetery is about halfway between Elkton and Middletown.
Yes, that connected stuff is just standard legalise.
I've been to both, many times. Elkton is about 8 miles from the cemetery, maybe 10 minute drive on one road if you're in a hurry. The cemetery is very close to the state line.
Race is ALWAYS a factor if the media decides it to be the case
Bear to Elkton is a short drive.
