Sounds like a hot-head bar owner pissed because his windows got broke out and lost it when protesters approached.
Daily Beast said: "Gardner has described himself as a libertarian, a former Marine who was deployed to Iraq and Haiti, and a volunteer for the Trump campaign in 2016."

Authorities would not release the alleged shooter’s name, but The World-Herald confirmed that it was Jake Gardner. Gardner owns the Hive and The Gatsby, two popular bars near the shooting scene.

In one video online, a bystander can be heard saying that a man, who appears to be Gardner, has a gun before the bystander shouts, “That’s not worth it!”
The man with a gun is approached by a group of people, including one who appears to be Scurlock.
After a scuffle ensues, at least two shots ring out before the video cuts off.
