:( Another terrible (apparent) hate crime.
I just heard that 12 people were shot, 4 were police officers, and 8 people are confirmed deceased.
The gunman was armed with an AR15 and several hand guns, according to the report.
^ Robert D. Bowers, 46, has been identified as the gunman. He's reportedly in custody (in the hospital).
Social media activity linked to Bowers suggested a history of virulent anti-Semitism, filled with slurs and references to anti-Jewish conspiracy theories. https://heavy.com/news/2018/10/robert-bowers/
