That's actually relevant to this story as the shooter had a history of workplace problems with this station and other former stations/employees in terms of anger issues and being quick to take offense - ostensibly claiming racism in many cases. I won't dismiss those claims as false but anecdotally, I did work with someone like this once who came to our workplace from Atlanta. She was also quick to take offense, take every incident, and frame it in the context of racism. This was a shock to most of the co-workers as we were all Canadians and this wasn't something we were used to. It reminds me how much racial relations/tensions is part of the culture in the US and it's something that we as Canadians might not directly be able to experience or relate to.
The shooter being black has sadly already created a lot of bad humor on the internet. When his identity was not yet known, the internet detectives had already dug up all the photos and pointed out "must be the black guy" as the culprit.
