It appears that this guy's mother married an American guy who is a Trump supporter (judging by his Facebook page). He apparently killed his ex-girlfriend.

The article I read this morning said that his ex used to work at Macy's, but she quit months ago and wasn't there during the incident. No mention of him killing his ex, but there were reports that he was a calling a woman's name during the rampage.

The FB and Instagram pics of him holding weapons are chilling.

That's exactly what my kid said when he say the news and heard them say he was Hispanic. My kid said, "wait...what? That guy doesn't look Hispanic. He looks middle eastern, right? Maybe they don't have Hispanics in Washington state, so they don't know the difference? Shouldn't the newspeople know the difference?"

lol you actually sound NOT well traveled to not realize he does have features similar to some Hispanics including his nose.

um, I could tell by those grainy pics he wasn't "Hispanic" or Latino for that matter.

Do you want an award? Maybe one for assuming all shooters are Muslim terrorists? He isn't Hispanic but based on those grainy pictures just as easily could have been. Sorry you don't know many Hispanics and how very different they can be.

He's not Hispanic.

Should we have jailed all white men after mcveigh?

How is what you are saying constructive?

From reports I've seen, this was intimate partner violence with innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire. He seemed to be clearly targeting his ex-gf.

The real issue remains- guns.

It doesn't matter. That's close enough for the rest of the country to get a reference. Pat yourself on the back for knowing Washington state, then get your head out of your ass and get over yourself. People have died, we are not discussing commute options.

Or they had grainy photos and nothing else.

Notice the media only rushes to judgment when a cop is involved or a white guy is to blame. Otherwise his name, motive and ethnicity are "unknown"

"Hispanic" is now the code word for "we think he's Middle Eastern but don't want to be called Islamaphobes."

the area in turkey he is from isn't that far from the syrian border.

Why does it matter what political party this guy's stepfather is affiliated with?
