DORAL, Fla. — An armed man was shot and wounded after he shouted about President Trump and opened fire at the Trump National Doral Miami Golf Club in South Florida early Friday, the police said.

The authorities did not immediately describe a motive for the attack at about 1:30 a.m. in the marble-floored lobby of the club’s hotel, which is owned by the Trump Organization. They identified the suspect as Jonathan Oddi, 42, and said they believed he had acted alone.

Who is Jonathan Oddi, the man shot after ranting and firing shots at Trump National Doral?

http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/doral/article211409674.html#storylink=cpy

“On social media, Oddi lists himself as a fitness instructor, real-estate investor and manager at Pegasus, a business dealing in minerals and gemstones. Oddi lived a few miles away at a rental complex, 8100 NW 53rd St. He appears to be from South Africa.”

(Of course they did not miss a chance to slur the right, commenting about a Instagram post he made. You know, the usual, implied with no connection that he was a right wing nut case.)

It is possible, but I’ve not seen anything about that.

“An armed man was shot and wounded after he shouted about President Trump and opened fire at the Trump National Doral Miami Golf Club in South Florida early Friday, the police said.”

Do we know if this was a hate crime?

Has the SPLC said anything definitive?

“The U.S. Secret Service is aware of shooting that took place early this morning at the Trump National Doral Golf Club in Doral, FL,” it said in a statement. “Special Agents from the Miami Field Office are on the scene and working closely with our law enforcement partners.”

Authorities also said they are not ruling out terrorism. Police told WPLG that the suspect repeatedly called 911 and was actively shooting in an attempt to draw authorities inside.

Well, if it turns out he is from South Africa and has become a US citizen, then yeah. A buddy's son was dating a legal immigrant fron SA who had gotten her US citizenship. So, African American. 😃
