I heard the guy is George Zimmerman's Turkish cousin.

He has allegedly posted on social media that he praised the president, while claiming he thinks Obama is a communist, compares Hillary Clinton to Hitler's wife, and yet is a big time supporter of both, and going to vote for her. I know that probably has nothing to do with the shooting, but if the situation were reversed (him being a right wing Trump supporter) the mainstream media and the PAC that runs anti Trump ads would never let you hear the end of it. Trump himself would be personally blamed for the violence, just like when Hillary recently implied Trump's rhetoric is causing ISIS to convince converts in the US to do attacks.

Some updates from the FBI briefing

Tweeted pictures from the surveillance video https://twitter.com/stribrooks" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Video footage released by the FBI and tweeted out by a Minneapolis Star Tribune reporter showed Adan’s final moments, the extremist crawling in a pool of blood – still armed with a knife – toward Officer Jason Falconer. Adan, armed with a knife in each hand, previously had charged Falconer twice. Falconer’s shooting was deemed justified and he will not be charged, officials said.
After killing Adan, Falconer showed his police badge to horrified shoppers who were unsure of what was unfolding in front of them.

Great link, wrong topic. It's about the mall stabbing in Minn.

UPDATE: suspect killed himself

http://www.kiro7.com/news/local/cascade ... /513337631" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

In the Active self protection video series on youtube, the mall shooting video is analyzed. Even though the guy had a rifle (10/22) some of the victims were ten feet or less away, and hiding behind cover when the guy just came up and shot them. Even if they'd had a 25 auto they might've had a better chance than just sitting there hoping the guy doesn't see them. :(
