Here's the MSM story about Idris Abdus-Salaam.

BREAKING: Jihad attack in Tennessee?

Police are investigating wearing masks and gloves.

All you need to know about the MSM is that the local TV Station headlined this

Durham truck driver killed 3 women at Tennessee truck stop before being shot, killed by law enforcement, WTVD (ABC) April 7, 2020.

We could ask "Is this Immigrant Mass Murder?" Was the late Idris Abdus-Salaam an African immigrant taking a trucking job from a white or black American, who suddenly decided he hated Americans enough to kill a lot of them?

Or is it a "Disgruntled Minority Massacre", in which Abdus-Salaam is a native-born black American who hates "racist" white women ("Beckys", "Karens") enough that he stabs four random white women, killing three? (The Daily Mail has pictures of two of the victims, and they're white. I assume the others are, too.)

Or, one more option, is it a "Sudden Jihad", where the Muslim Abdus-Salaam decides finally that he should kill some infidels before he dies?

Neither the MSM or the police wants us to know any of that. Amy Mek, above is right about police not saying motive.  The NYT says investigators did  "not immediately offer a motive for the stabbings" and NBC says

A motive for the rampage outside Knoxville is not known, said Leslie Earhart, a public information officer for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.

I don't know if they want to find the motive.
