From the article:

A man who went on a shooting spree last week in Austin, Tex., firing at government buildings and a police headquarters, was a “homegrown American extremist” with “hate in his heart,” the city’s police chief said.

Larry Steve McQuilliams, 49, also appeared to have been a devotee of a doctrine known as the Phineas Priesthood, an ideology that believes violence to be divinely justified if used against race-mixers, gay people, abortion proponents and others.

2. Workplace violence

Similar to Fort Hood.

3. What workplace?

He was a white supremacist of the Christian Identity variety who shot up some government buildings and also targeted the Mexican consulate because he hated immigrants. No workplace involved and nothing in common with Fort Hood.
