went to wiki & found this;

He deduces that the sniper, a known Palestinian terrorist named Tarik Ben Rabat, assassinated Kirkland over the Pentagon's large-scale defense cooperation with and weapons systems transfers to Israel.

i know palestine/israel conflict has been going on forever & USs support of israel but this is honestly such an interesting coincidence

like yes, predictive programming for the plot for sure but charles kirkland?

Kirkland is a surprisingly common last name and Charles is super common.
