34. What's been confirmed?
Sun Sep 14, 2025, 12:07 AM
Sunday

Law enforcement is investigating that the shooter was possibly motivated by Charlie Kirk spreading hate about trans people. That doesn’t seem very definitive to me yet.

Even if that’s the case, a trans person didn’t pull that trigger. It was a white man from a MAGAt family.
