prosecutors need to prove that. so there are warrants, searches, interviews, one guy we spoke to was a neighbor and a friend of the suspect. they lived across the hallway. they played video games together for hours and hours and hours and this young man xavier kraus told me that the suspect would have outbursts from an angry place and he would use slurs to describe gay people. but most of those outbursts, he said, were actually against other races. now, you mentioned that the suspect appeared in court by video link from this jailhouse behind me slumped, beaten, slurring. three heroes took this shooter down. an army vet, a naval officer and a trans woman and this suspect was kicked repeatedly around the head to stop him taking any more lives creating any more havoc so as i say, the motive is something they re working on.
