TRUMP: "I mean, you look at so many different 前線s, it's, you know, 過激な Islam, and by the way, he seems to be a member of that group also, seems to be something going on there, but it's very sad what's happening."
THE FACTS: The 動機 of shooter 黒人／ボイコット 海洋 退役軍人 Gavin Long is not yet known, although comments and ビデオs he's 地位，任命するd online shed some light on his thinking.

A 法廷，裁判所 文書 Long とじ込み／提出するd when he 手配中の，お尋ね者 to 合法的に change his 指名する to Cosmo Setepenra said he belongs to the Washitaw de Dugdahmoundyah, also known as the Washitaw Nation.
The Southern Poverty 法律 中心 on its blog 述べるd that as a 黒人／ボイコット anti-政府 group whose members believe they are indigenous to the 部隊d 明言する／公表するs and beyond the 連邦の 政府's reach.
連邦検察局 spokeswoman Bridget Patton told The Associated 圧力（をかける） that it's too 早期に to draw 結論s about 動機s. 地元の 法律 施行 当局 in Baton 紅 also have not discussed possible 動機s for the 狙撃s.
In one ビデオ 地位，任命するd online by Setepenra, the man says he doesn't want to be linked to any groups, and について言及するs once belonging to the Nation of Islam, a group the Southern Poverty 法律 中心 calls 深く，強烈に 人種差別主義者, anti-Semitic and anti-gay and having a "theology of innate 黒人／ボイコット 優越 over whites." But it is not associated with the 肉親，親類d of deadly テロリスト attacks around the globe such as those linked to the Islamic 明言する／公表する or 類似の groups.
