Yes, an unnamed police officer claims that it
appeared that he hated Christians. Leaving aside the issue of the basis of that officer's speculation--given Murray's background, one does wonder if it were not the fault of Christians that Murray hated Christians, given that he was home schooled in a "deeply religious Christian household." If you read the second article in detail, a much more detailed picture of the shooter and his family emerges--including his former association with the missionary training center, and his brother's attendance at a Colorado religious college, from which he transferred to Oral Roberts University.
One of the police officers commented that Murray had left the missionary training center two years ago, and another said it was three years ago, and both said he had sent threatening e-mail to the missionary training center. However, the spokesperson for the missionary training center stated that he had left
five years ago, and that there had been no communications with him since that time. It is, of course, possible that the spokesperson for the missionary training center is incorrect, and we would never, ever want to question what has been said by a police officer who is unwilling to identify him- or herself.
No matter how you slice it, if this boy hated Christians, the greatest probability is that it were the product of a "deeply religious Christian" background.
