48. Bolt action rifle used
Thu Sep 11, 2025, 09:49 AM
Sep 2025

The report this morning is that a bolt action rifle was used. I don't know how reliable Crowder is but if the report is accurate and it was another transgender shooting this is not good. The MAGAs will use it to foster more hate.

ATF and other law-enforcement located an older model imported Mauser .30-06 caliber bolt action rifle wrapped in a towel in a wooded area near the campus. The location of the firearm appears to match the suspects route of travel. The spent cartridge was still chambered in addition to three unspent rounds at the top fed magazine. All cartridges have engraved wording on them, expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology.
