The title of this post is just infuriating. The information in it is 100% incorrect. The shooter is still alive. The shooter saying “she made racist comments” isn’t factual. You’re taking the word of a clearly unstable guy who just shot three innocent people, on air. You have a mentally unstable guy, who used racism as an excuse for his personal social issues, mental sickness and agenda. I’m willing to bet he came onto this girl at some point and she rejected him. If you look at his twitter it’s filled with posts that aren’t reasonable for a sane 41 year old to post with a public image to uphold, pictures of him modeling, in speedos, a picture of his “sexy bed”. It’s just beyond strange. From the first POV video, he was clearly targeting the reporter. The other two just so happened to get in the way, or Ward was his 2nd target. If Ward did go to HR on him, I bet it’s because he was super creepy towards Parker and she rejected him. ---

I agree with this. However, black/white/yellow/pink/purple/turquoise - from all accounts, this guy was unstable and extremely hard to work with. He was fired for being a pain in the ass and having outbursts. He only made allegations of racism AFTER he was fired. The GM of the station said that it seemed he would try and use ANYTHING he could against someone as being discriminatory or malicious. It would be a ‘racist’ thing, if he killed them because they were white. It’s a complete mental thing to kill them because “they made racist comments and went to HR on me.” If it’s about race, you don’t kill someone because they are racist, you kill them because they are white/black/indian/asian. It stops being about racism, when you video tape it and post it on Facebook. Now it’s about you being completely nuts.
