    He’s not regretting what he did, he’s regretting that he botched it and got arrested.

    “There was a white male, camo vest, red hat, and white t-shirt walking with a possible long gun down Duss Avenue,”

    Can you think of any “red hat” that would be associated with people who would want to do a mass shooting at a black church?

      DeLuca told KDKA-TV that he and his department believe the incident was not racially motivated but brought on through a combination of Harris’ alleged use of methamphetamine and his mental state at the time of the incident.

      But you might be right, I’m just going off what the article claims.
