Seattle Man Confesses to Gay Couple's Murder As 'Vengeance' for Iraq, Syria
A Seattle man has confessed to killing three people in Washington, including a gay couple in Seattle, saying he committed the murders as an act of revenge against American military actions in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Ali Muhammad Brown, 29, had already been charged in the June murder of Ahmed Said, 27, and Dwone Anderson-Young, 23, who were gunned down after responding to a dating application meet up request Brown allegedly lured the men with, according to court documents. After police officials circulated Brown's photo as a suspect, he reportedly fled to New Jersey, where he shot and killed 19-year-old college student Brendan Tevlin. He was charged in that incident, but has pleaded not guilty.

And on Wednesday, prosecutors in King County, Wash., charged Brown with the point-blank shooting death of Leroy Henderson, a 30-year-old resident of Skyway, Wash., reports the Times.

Who is 'him' and what is he saying? You are the one making an assertion, I offered another Bluenorthwest Jun 2016 #18

It appears he (the guy from your story) targeted gays, just like the Orlando killer BootinUp Jun 2016 #23
