That appears to be, from my research, the norm. The majority consensus would be the Lakewood shooter is not trans.
When I heard about the details of Chiefs shooting, I “knew” what had happened and I was right. That’s wasn’t bias, that was based on having lived in KC for a while and knowing who goes to big events like that.
So you have a connection to the event, or at least experience, so you were making an educated guess based off those things.
A man in Arizona with no knowledge of events in KC, having never been there, that always says every shooter he sees on the news is trans, is bias. He's making uneducated guesses that are nothing more than repeating the same thing, so really they aren't even guesses.
Again this doesn't mean the Lakewood shooter is not trans, it just means there is no credible evidence of it at this time.
Honestly, this whole thing started when a Houston Police Department spokes person answered a question with a Kamala Harris style word-salad of an answer which left reporters with the impression she was trans because in previous documentation the name Jeffrey was used. As it turns out from what I’ve read that might have been a misinterpretation of her Spanish name.
Having said all that, with the recent mass, random shootings from trans people, it wasn’t that big of a leap to connect the two after the spokes person seemed indicate that.
Regardless, the story is gone now, because it wasn’t a white male, somehow connected to Trump or affiliated with anything or one who could be even remotely connected to what I keep being told is the single biggest threat to America, white supremacist.
Mind you, we are on a record pace for murders here in St. Louis so far in 2024 and not a single one has been a white man killing someone because of their race, but President Puddin insist on telling me that’s the number one threat to the country.
