I thought there were reports of a search for second shooter?

Do people still believe we can vet the refugees from Muslim majority countries?

"Refugee"? Would depend on how long he's been over here. When I first saw a noticeably wave of Somali applicants for Christmas casual positions in 1998, they were definitely refugees then, they hadn't been off the boat long.
But now? They're just Somali-Americans pretty much.
Somalis are not without their bad apples, but in general and from my perspective, they seem to have brought fewer ones over here over the last 20 years, and that may be due to the Somali culture.
I'd say that either: a) there was no other shooter or b) he/she has been captured since the shelter in place has been lifted
This may be your experience and I have no reason to think it isn't true BUT it's not the same experience they are having in Minnesota.
One question - how big is the Somali population where you are? In Minneapolis - Saint Paul it's over 100,000. One thing they have seen over & over again in Europe is when Muslim populations concentrate into a restricted area and reach certain critical population thresholds, the communities behavior changes from "cooperative" to "confrontational".

Thanks for the reply - I really was not aware of the situation in Minneapolis.
Good question - I'm in Columbus OH, I believe our Somali population is in the area of 40,000, so you've got us beat there by quite a bit. In 1998, we were told that Somalis were emigrating primarily to three cities: Minneapolis, Columbus, and one other city, but I can't remember which one. I wasn't sure why that was - may have been word of mouth by the first wave coming over.
Yeah, we did have some culture clashes at work for a while, you can imagine what those were. But everyone settled down and at least made an attempt to play nice.
Maybe we're just fortunate in Cowtown. We did have that machete incident earlier this year where a Somali guy (at least I think he was Somali) attacked a musician at a restaurant. That one was just strange. Maybe the attacker doesn't like McGuffey Lane covers or something, I dunno.

On Facebook today there is an alleged Twitter going around by a supposed Michigan fan who said this incident was "Karma" biting us OSU cheaters on the butt because of Saturday's game. Not being on Twitter, I have no way of verifying its veracity.
A Mesa man was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of assault and robbery after police say he threatened her when she rejected his marriage proposal.
Police said Cameron Jacob Braatz, 26, was waiting outside the woman’s apartment complex in the 2000 block of West Southern Avenue when he jumped into her car, pulled out an engagement ring, and told her: “I am going to go with you. You are not leaving me today. I am going to follow you everywhere.”
The woman told Braatz to get out of her car, but was so persistent that he even followed her into a bathroom at a nearby convenience store, according to a court document.
Braatz made threats and pulled out a 12-inch flip knife from his waistband. Braatz did not open the knife but did begin to wrestle with the woman, according to a court document.
Police said he then grabbed her car keys out of her hand and took off running to an unknown location.
Braatz’s jeans were later found with a receipt in the pocket showing a recent purchase of gloves and duct tape.
Braatz will face charges in robbery, assault, disorderly conduct and threatening and intimidating, police said.
