      Sure it is. It’s disgusting that anyone shoots anyone. But when you start making assumptions that it was someone from outside preying on them- yore creating a false narrative for the purpose of agitating the us vs them crowd which is disingenuous.

      Just wait and see what the investigation produces.

        The only person who made that assumption was you. No one mentioned whether the shooter was homeless or not.
