Local Police is still investigating the motive of this massacre but suspect Robert Crimo III is a known Donald Trump supporter with extrema and radicalized ideas the former president has been preaching for many years. Investigators who have the suspect in custody have been investigating his psychological profile but they have not yet determined if this was motivated by race, religion, political odelology or something else entirely.
All the authorities have shared so far is that this attack was planned for weeks and the shooter used women’s clothing to blend in the crowd and escape without getting noticed. given the information we now have, there will be a period of interrogation and further investigation that needs to happen behind closed doors.
