That would make it a crime for personal reasons instead of a religious hate crime. I have only heard this just now and no one else has mentioned this so it may not be true.

(51,585 posts)I had to get it on the cable news rerun from 8AM. Anyway, a lady that had tatoo sleeves was the person who I saw who said she knew the guy. Now they are saying that the shooter did say something to make the sheriff say it was definitely a hate crime but he won't say what the guy said.
My friend's mom is living in a Jewish community center in Poway and I am hoping she was not near this one.

(5,164 posts)I have not heard anything about that so I guess it was wrong. I hope your friend is ok. Seems like someone stopped him and his gun locked. I have not watched news all day.

Yes, my friend's mom is 2 miles south of the site of the shooting, thank goodness. I sent her the info about the shooter and she told me her son graduated from the same high school and had his dad as his physics teacher. I feel badly for his family. Apparently the mom was heard crying when the police escorted her inside her home, "...but he didn't even have a rifle".
