I had no reason to not believe the media when they were reporting that the guy had been killed, which they for many hours afterwards they were...
It's not as though I'm suggesting the guy isn't the shooter or there is something being covered-up. It's just that for the sake of the law-abiding and patriotic American-Muslim community, the "facts" shouldn't be pre-judged until some official conclusions are drawn. There are always some cranks out there who take comfort from incidents like this (as they did after 9/11) to take it out on communities they didn't like to begin with.
