Texas Christmas shooting

[Steve]

I have heard alot of news on this tragic shooting, including the 911 tapes this morning, not one account told of the names of the victums or the name of the shooter..

the news media made it out as a family shooting, I didn't know he was dressed in a Santa outfit or muslim,, just that the family was a murdered/suicide,

why the deception?

The group gathered early in the evening at a park in this quiet suburb about a mile from the apartment complex where police said Aziz Yazdanpanah, 58, opened fire on Sunday morning and killed his estranged wife Fatemeh Rahmati, 56, and two children Nona, 19, and Ali, 14.

Toting two pistols and dressed as Santa, the gunman also shot and killed his wife's sister, Zohreh Rahmaty, 58, her husband, Mohamad Hossein Zarei, 59, and their daughter, Sahra Zarei, 22, before turning a gun on himself.

The family was beloved by the Iranian community in the Dallas area,

Sahra's boyfriend, Jonathan Garcia, was among those who paid tribute at Wednesday's vigil. He was the last person to have contact with any of the victims through a text message sent by Sahra on Sunday morning.

"We were very close and had lots of plans," Garcia said of Sahra, who he said hoped to go to medical school after graduating from the University of Texas at Arlington in the spring.

Police said they found one pistol in the hand of Yazdanpanah, who shot himself in the head, and another in the hand of his brother-in-law.

"We believe Yazdanpanah put the gun in Zarei's hand to make it look like he had shot them," said Grapevine Lt. Todd Dearing. "But we know that Mohamad was a victim just like the others."

"Aziz Yazdanpanah, a Muslim, didn't like his daughter's non-Muslim boyfriend and was exhibiting stalker behavior. 'She couldn't date at all until she was a certain age, but when he was going to let her date she couldn't date anyone outside of their race or religion.'"

Investigators are downplaying the motive. Lt. Todd Dearing said that motive isn't important.

our country's media has a way of ignoring problems that can be solved., in favor of politically correct news reporting..
