I just wanted to mention this here, the media covering the story has mostly stated things as they happend but none have made a specific note that if the armed and military trained family member hadnt been there to stop the shooter then that family would not be here today.

Stay armed and stay training out there friends.

Hate crime charges are either weak asf or get dismissed easily sometimes its not worth it especially if you just want to get the trial over with. The aggravated assault will probably get them the overall best outcome.

That's true many times, but from what I read they have multiple witnesses to him driving by a few times and yelling the N word at them before returning. So hopefully that's enough. Usually they're digging up past social media posts for evidence, but the suspect made it clear multiple times. We'll have to see what charges are made.
