      It could be a spat between crime organizations, stupid revenge or something.

        Also could be that someone ordered a pineapple cocktail and the bartender got confused.

      Authorities are investigating a possible link to drug trafficking, terrorism implies some sort of political revendication/objective which so far has not been the case

      I bet it’s because the perpetrator was white.
