BIPOC Faculty and Student Response to Shooting

Many people are unhappy with UNLV's response to the shooting, especially that it took so long for it to acknowledge that all 4 faculty shot (3 killed) were people of color. Although the LVMPD says there's no evidence to prove it was a racially-motivated attack, many point to the simple fact that all 4 shot were people of color at a school where faculty of color comprise a small minority of all faculty. What do you think?
