    There was an interesting interview with a man running for city council who said he spoke on Friday to the shooter. Sounds like at some point in their past they had lived in Utah and had a relationship with a Mormon woman. The shooter declared to the man running for city council that Mormons were the Antichrist and had what was described as “sharp views” of the LDS church. Not sure how legitimate the claims are but here is the source so you can judge for yourself.
