A member of the mosque told local media at the scene that he was in a side room where the imam was speaking and it was peaceful and quiet when"suddenly, the shooting started." He did not see the shooter, but saw people running. He said that authorities had not yet conclusively determined the motivation behind the shootings. When asked if Friday's violence was being classified as a terrorist attack, Bush said “we are still looking at the circumstances that surround that."
Users on one of 8chan’s message boards, where the manifesto and terror threat were posted before the shooting, frequently post racist, homophobic and misogynistic memes and diatribes. “This is absolutely tragic; there will be so many people affected,” Bush said late Friday afternoon, adding that authorities did not have the identities of those killed as of yet because the mosques remained on lockdown.
