Second Shooter identified as Tayyeep Bin Ardogan Qatari citizen [View all]

I saw this on the washington post feed. But reading the article apparently the source is fox news. so please take with a grain of salt. I dont get it, if this was a isis type terrorist attack. Why shoot up a work place? Why not go down to the local mall and spray hundreds of people?

Only other thing i can think of is. He worked for a gov agency? and this was a terrorist attack on a gov agency?

(posted edited as the link was to washington times quoting a fox news source.) and iv been told washington times is basically a fox news clone so i removed the link untill we get other sources. sorry about that! im not up to date on all the different politicaly news paper ideologies lol.

Second edit (just spoke with my mom she speaks farsi, arabic and turkish. and she said that name from the way i was pronouncing it sounded turkish not arabic and it sounded like a hoax name as someone with that name would generally not be from qatar.) again she might be mistaken as it might have been my accent trying to pronounce the name to her but just thought id through this out there.
