Prior to the shooting, Radford allegedly sent a cryptic message to his aunt suggesting he would soon be “in a better place,” indicating potential premeditation. His father mentioned that Radford had previously expressed grievances about racism at the base and had been seeking a transfer. Additionally, Radford had been arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) in May, a charge that was unknown to his chain of command at the time of the incident .New York Postwdsu.com+1wapt.com+1
