... is that she did something to upset that group of ICE officers earlier in the protest. When she decided to leave, they followed her. Lastly, she probably shouted vulgarities at them as she was leaving. This just tipped the shooter "over the edge," and he shot. It's surprising, to me, that it reached that point. When society entrusts you with a gun, you can't shoot everyone that "ticks you off"... no matter what they say... and most of what they do... From boats in the ocean to protesters, we seem to have a lower standard. I echo the Mayor and Governor - please be on guard, DU protesters. They want more chaos... stay safe.
