I'm sure it will turn out to be, but does this quote seem a bit contradictory?

"We have no idea," he said of the motive. "It's pretty much a hate crime. It's not an insider."

If you have no idea, how do you know it was a hate crime?

It's 'only' 6 people this time, so hardly newsworthy.

More newsworthy than the 45 people killed in Abyan.

Abyan is a foreign place of which we know little.

I read somewhere after the last incident that 100 people a day die in the US as a result of firearms.

Well, that would have to be determined before considering it a hate crime, (not that someone on a shooting spree does not have hate as a motive somewhere)

There is the obvious one of course, but do know if Sikhs have been targeted in the US previously.

Wouldn't surprise me if the murderer thought that the poor souls were Muslims.

They have, according to the article, but mainly due to mistaken identity, (mistaken for Muslims).

These are just individual events across a wider area, not just one or connected two with dedicated target though.

Sure, but it's still an astonishing number. It's less than 1 per week in the UK.

Killings inside with additional deaths outside, could be just a family or relationship disagreement.

Edit, nothing to see here - move along.
As Deva says.

If they armed every single person in America with concealed weapons, would that end gun related deaths?

Generally speaking there's more non-mental people in the USA than mental people. So it might help.
