I do not know much about the shooter but what I am seeing of the victims and survivors indicates that they're mostly conservatives.
One Hispanic kid in the media is wearing a "Reagan/Bush" t-shirt. He's pictured here but was also interviewed on CNN this morning.

Six off-duty cops were at the place at the time of the shooting.
Sadly some of the victims of this shooting survived the Las Vegas shooting last year which also targeted country music fans who are largely conservative.
Not that this has anything to do with why the shooter chose this venue. Just sharing what I can observe so far.
