The reports that he (and whoever else involved) first entered the mall WITHOUT A RIFLE, and the later appears WITH A RIFLE 10 minutes later, seems to me argues that this COULD be terrorism.
Were the women shot all part of the same “group”? I.e. knew each other? Were together in one spot, thus all shot at the same 1 or 2 minute period?
If they do NOT have any relation to each other, this argues it was NOT “revenge” and could be possible terrorism.
No way can terrorism be ruled out at this juncture. In fact, knowing the Indian subcontinent very well, this guy looks more Pakistani to me than Hispanic. This type of terrorist attack by Paki’s in India is typical.
The photo is obviously a photo of a video being played. Why can’t we see the video itself? I bet we the public could be a lot of help if we could see the video instead of this one still image.
4 pics now with diff views of head http://komonews.com/news/local/gallery/who-is-the-cascade-mall-shooter#photo-1
I am not ruling anything out - so far they have said there was a teen victim, an older lady, and a man. That is all we know about the victims.
However, if there were ANY indication of terrorism at this point you can be assured that the FBI would have taken over the investigation and they would be in front of the cameras. The fact that they said in the press conference that a local Lt. from the Skagit County Incident Team is running the investigation tells us quite a bit if we read between the lines.
There are reports he called out a woman’s name multiple times before he began shooting. First thought is he was there to kill a ex girlfriend. But, with the pic out there it would seem that one of the girls friends or family would have identified him by now.
Unless of course the girls name was Allah.
Would love to know what is on his t shirt.
