A gunman opened fire in downtown Seattle on Wednesday evening following an argument and wounded five people, one man critically, not far from protests against the surprise victory of Republican Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential election.

The shooting did not appear to be connected to the anti-Trump demonstrations but instead stemmed from a personal argument, said Robert Merner, assistant chief of the Seattle Police Department.

How do they know that this shooting isn't related to the protestors already? This is how terrorist attacks are handled as well, leaving me highly suspicious.

Thoughts?
Comments?

Because there's no evidence to suggest it was related . . . ?

My point is that since the shooting just occurred several hours ago, is it responsible for Seattle police to tell the media what they supposedly think happened? Many homicide investigations take months to solve, and police don't release motives to the press in those cases in only a few hours time usually.

Some incidents are not hard to explain, especially when both perpetrator and victim agree to what happened.
 
I'm sure things will be okay. I never trusted people with themselves anyways.

They've been getting it wrong lately as well. Arcan Cetin was labeled as not being an Islamic terrorist when he killed 5 people in Washington last September, and a member of DP actually outed him as having pro-Isis junk plastered all over his social media.
The quality of police work has looked horrible lately to me.
 
According to local news reports the shooting stemmed from an argument not related to the protest. But put on your tinfoil hat anyway.
