In the lead up to the violence, Radford had apparently fired off a text to an aunt saying that “he loved everybody and that he’ll be in a better place because he was about to go and do something,” The New York Times reported.
Authorities are still probing a motive for the shooting and refused to speculate on what could have triggered Radford — an active-duty sergeant specializing in automated logistics.
His father, Eddie Radford, told the outlet that the sergeant had recently been trying to get a transfer and had complained to his family in the past of racism at the base where he’d been stationed for years.
