judge sheriff, robert luna, as mentioned that they're investigating whether it might have been a domestic incident in some in other words, some kind of relationship difficulty that the shooter had with somebody who was at the scene. a lot of people have speculated about that as well. and, and, and sort of, you know, traded rumors amongst themselves. but i can't confirm any of that. it would seem, however, unlikely that the, even more, perhaps horrible possibility that this was a rate racially related. ah hate crime is, is, is less likely due to the fact that the victims and the likely suspect we're of the same ethnicity. so we will have to find out later on, a deep dive into this person's character is relationships with his mental health history, where he got the guns. by the way, the gun of that sheriff, luna said was, was just recovered. a is not a automatic weapons. he didn't describe it any further, so it's, it's not one of these. ah, weapons that had been used in so many of the mass shootings here in the united states. but there have been mass shootings already this year. it's only m
