A bit more from KING. Might have been random?

I give lots of props to all Law Enforcement and any others who located the alleged shooter in about 24 hrs.

The last young shooter in our area, Allen Ivanov in July, was Russian. Exactly what is your point?

When I saw the fuzzy picture, I called this 'Hispanic' a Hispanic named Mouhammoud shouting Halleluejah Snackbar. When it came out that he had targeted largely women, I knew that it was extremely unlikely the shooter was Hispanic and much more likely from a certain 'religion.'

Probably about 10 people from this religion in Burlington, still they manage to knock off another 5 Americans.

Not interested in the shooter's nationality. The last shooter was Russian, one before that was from the Tulalip tribe. The shooter apparently took his father's gun to commit the murders. The father from the Tulalip Tribe was charged. Are gun owners that don't lock up their guns always charged?

According to that article, the father in that case was charged because he wasn't supposed to have the guns, not because the guns weren't locked up. A previous domestic protection order was involved. Part of the motivation, I'm sure, was also that the killer was dead and people wanted to see someone punished.

We don't know what his motivation was. He could be another ISIS-inspired "lone wolf", which is very hard to stop, or he might have some other beef. We'll just have to wait for what the charging papers have to say.

If the former, we need the Muslim community to stand up and reject these kinds of acts as being anti-Muslim - attacking people for being Muslim will only achieve the opposite.

The photos show he came in without a gun initially. Then he later returned with a "long-gun" from what I've read and seen.

Any thoughts or theories where he got the gun that he had on his re-entrance to the mall? Was it hidden somewhere outside or is another person a potential accomplice?

I was sure it was Reform Jewish students out on a Mitzvah project.

Probably had it in a car or stashed in the bushes and just wanted to check out his target(s) first. It looks to me like he did have a particular victim or victims in mind and this was not random.

We will have to see if he can be linked to any of the people he shot. If this were the common variety of Muslim terrorism, he would have exited Macy's and kept shooting. Instead he placed the rifle on the counter and left. It truly looks personal to me, though it is possible that whatever provoked his personal attack might be rooted in Islamic beliefs, especially if it was over a girlfriend who was not behaving as he thought a good Muslim woman should.
