I’m not saying this to cast doubt on anything, I believe the reason given for the attack, I’m simply curious (probably because I used to be a first responder). One thing I haven’t seen explained in the articles I’ve read about this story is how do we know that he assaulted her for the flag and then shot her? Who called 911? How did they know who the suspect was?
The most plausible explanation to me is she was still alive when the cops got there but died before the paramedics were able to transport her, so she was able to tell them something, since no witnesses were mentioned. Second most plausible is there were witnesses.
Wasn’t she killed in her store? Virtually every store these days has security cameras. As for who called 911, guns are loud. Unless you’re in the middle of nowhere, there will be people who hear the gun shot, even if they don’t see what happened.
Yes but I thought I read somewhere that the shooter was confronted soon after (a couple hours?) which would be very fast to find and go through security footage. And yes about the gun, but that wouldn’t necessarily get them the motive and description of the suspect. It doesn’t really matter to me that much anyway, it was just an unknown aspect of a story I am interested in.
“I’m not questioning the reason for the attack but how do we know that’s the reason.”
It’s acceptable to question sources. This story is definitely likely true, but there also plenty of cases of stuff written online(and what police say) being untrue and it’s okay to probe it a little.
I agree, but with the amount of trolling some people do regarding LGBT stuff I wanted to be very clear I’m not one of them. Since every article is stating it as fact and not using “alleged” I assume the journalists know with some certainty, but I haven’t seen it detailed anywhere.

Having a security camera doesn’t mean their monitored off-site. A lot(maybe most) of the time they aren’t. But agreed that guns are loud.
Craziest exception to the hearsay rule is the dying declaration.
