It was the 4th anniversary of the Westminster (London) attack which killed 6 and injured 49.
Ahmad Al-Issa appears to have followed an ISIS-inspired pattern.
Alissa’s now-deleted Facebook page said he was “born in Syria in 1999 came to the USA in 2002,” the Daily Beast reported. His account included postings about Islam, such as the faith’s prayers and religious holidays, and his apparent suspicions that he was under surveillance. “Yeah if these racist islamophobic people would stop hacking my life phone and let me have a normal life I probably could,” he wrote in one July 2019 post, according to the Daily Beast. In a different post, Alissa shared another person’s thoughts the day after the 2019 mosque massacres in Christchurch, New Zealand, that killed 51 people. “The Muslims at the #christchurch mosque were not the victims of a single shooter,” the reposted message reportedly read. “They were the victims of the entire Islamophobia industry that vilified them.” Alissa’s identity was known to the FBI because he was linked to another individual under investigation by the bureau, law enforcement sources told the New York Times — though the report didn’t say who that person is, or what they were being probed for.The killer's motive is not clear. We know the names of the people he killed.
In addition to [Police Officer Eric] Talley, [51,] authorities have identified the victims as Denny Stong, 20; Neven Stanisic, 23; Rikki Olds, 25; Tralona Bartkowiak, 49; Suzanne Fountain, 59; Teri Leiker, 51; Kevin Mahoney, 61; Lynn Murray, 62, and Jody Waters, 65.
