Killed by police.

Hope TPR's ok.

Gunman was a black guy, so if you're gambling on the motive it's probably going to be "BLM" or "Islam".

The suspected gunman, who she described as a disgruntled lawyer...
She said police found numerous weapons at the scene. The suspect's Porsche was being scrutinized...
Emphasis added. It sounds like the color of his skin probably had nothing to do with why he did this. He wasn't poor, and the poor/rich divide is a much bigger one than any divide by religion or race.

My money is on a Falling Down scenario of some sort.

Well, I did say "gambling" and "probably", so I'm covered. :D

Let us know when the full motive is released.

I hadn't heard anything about it until you linked it, so you'll find out before I do. :P

1) He appears to be Indian if anything.

2) His Porsche was a Boxster, so not that fancy.

The gunman who carried out Monday morning's shooting that wounded nine people was wearing what appeared to be a Nazi paraphernalia, two law enforcement sources told Channel 2 Investigates' Robert Arnold.
Law enforcement sources said that the shooter was wearing what appeared to be an antique German uniform with Swastikas on it.
Investigators also combed through the shooter's apartment, where they found what appeared to be Nazi paraphernalia inside, according to a law enforcement source.
Well, then.

He also had Civil War memorabilia and had a Tommy gun in his car, and I don't think this was about states' rights or a fondness for Prohibition-era firearms. This happened conveniently six months after it looks like his practice tanked. Besides, real Nazis drive Volkswagens, the Hitler-approved "People's Car."
