"Ammunition inside the rifle was engraved with messages of transgender and antifascist ideology, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing a law enforcement bulletin and a source familiar with the investigation. The FBI declined to comment to The Independent."

it may be true, but it certainly sounds like something some local right-wing cop would stick in some update to serve an agenda.

it's also entirely plausible that the killer was a right-wing extremist who wanted to pin blame on trans people and liberals.
