I'll assume he's a US citizen since there's no mention of his immigration status.

It's FL -- if he was an immigrant they'd be broadcasting that as loudly as possible

Yup. I don't know what it was, but I saw Fox News reporting on someone earlier today, and the first word in the headline was "migrant".

shouldn't it say "Florida man guns down..."?

Same couldn't be said about the shootings

All that conservatives will see is a violent black man. Gun control will continue to not be part of the solution. He was going to do it gun or no gun, if those women had their own guns they could have defended themselves, clearly it was a mental health issue….

And fox news will whip this into a racial frenzy in 3.. 2.. 1.

But seriously, this guy needed a lot of help. Apparently he was on his way to Georgia to kill another ex? I'm seriously wondering what might have driven him to commit these acts?

Not only that, but they’ll spin it into a need for even more guns- all without seeing the irony.
