According to local news reports, all three victims were detainees. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed no law enforcement officers were injured, and suggested he believed the motive was political:

While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an idealogical (sic.) motive behind this attack … One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase ‘ANTI ICE.’

Huh, don’t know how to interpret that.

  The people who got killed are the same people that ice wanted to kill anyway. It was probably an ice employee going ‘postal’

  God, i wish the Nazis had the balls to just own up to it. It’s endlessly annoying to watch then whine about people accurately identifying what they are.

I don’t believe them when they say the casings have engravings. I just don’t. “He wrote an entire manifesto on the casing! It spells out his entire political philosophy! Isn’t that convenient?!” -liars who think we believe them

  I’m not really big on “conspiracy theories,” BUT are we supposed to believe the shooter was shooting detainees, and “engraved” a single bullet casing with a sharpie with the message “anti-ice”? Image

This is just confusing. If the guy was anti-ICE, why was he trying to shoot the detainees? It can’t be that hard to tell the guys wearing military gear from the ones in prison garb. Maybe he was half blind using iron sites on an old M1 carbine, and shooting at anything that looked like a person? Does not make sense.
