      Authorities are investigating a possible link to drug trafficking, terrorism implies some sort of political revendication/objective which so far has not been the case

      It could be a spat between crime organizations, stupid revenge or something.

      Edit: added somehow missing word spat

        Also could be that someone ordered a pineapple cocktail and the bartender got confused.

      I bet it’s because the perpetrator was white.

      (This is a joke, it is not known if the perpetrator was white)

    That’s pretty wild that no one was dead from it. Grenades have a pretty large kill radius.

      That could still change, a number of the victims might still die from their wounds unfortunately
