Police identified a man Monday who shot and killed a California business owner last week after he allegedly took issue with a Pride flag she had displayed at her clothing store in Lake Arrowhead, California. Sheriff’s officials told NBC News that the killing is being investigated as a possible hate crime.

Travis Ikeguchi, 27, was responsible for shooting Laura Ann Carleton, 66, to death after “yelling many homophobic slurs” about the store’s Pride flag Friday, San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus said at a news conference Monday.

    If conservative cowards wish to get themselves killed for being idiots- I’m fine with that. And in fact, I encourage it. But don’t take innocent people with you.
