Are they mostly hate speech on women? trying to see where the anger or motive may have come...

This is something that I can't stop thinking about. Shooting happened at Caudill Labs at UNC campus. Qi was also a member of the Yan Research group studying light matter & photonics... interesting enough- those meetings held in Caudill labs. Zijie Yan is an interesting nameOne confirmed dead: https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/28/us/university-of-north-carolina-shooting/index.html
He refers somewhat cryptically to conversations with his "PI" in his tweets, which I took to be "principal investigator" since he is doing post-grad research. It will be interesting to see if this is who the victim is.
This was his only tweet talking about women. He mostly tweeted about looking for friends or PhD candidates and food that he made.Are they mostly hate speech on women? trying to see where the anger or motive may have come...
This was my gut feeling when I first commented in this chat and once I did all the backing up that Dr. Yan was indeed his graduate study director. Once I saw Yan's name on the grant number I researched my heart broke. I didn't want to believe it but I checked Yan's office location on campus and I saw Caudill...Professor Z Yan is named as victim. RIP, Professor Yan. This is all so senseless
Associate professor Zijie Yan shot and killed by a graduate student Tailei Qi at UNC Chapel Hill
The university's students, faculty and staff were alerted to go inside and lock all doors.www.fox3now.com
Me too. I heard about this case around 2 pm and I haven't left my computer since. I have friends at UNC as I also am in school within the system. My mother was also an educator during the UNC Charlotte shooting and i've never stopped looking for answers since then.This is local to me and I have many friends who have family members who either attend or work at UNC. It's been a long, hard day. If this turns out to be some kind of incel thing, I'm gonna lose my mind.
ETA: I may lose my mind anyway. He clearly felt unfairly treated or something. I feel horrible for this man's family and loved ones. Teaching should not be a life-on-the-line kind of job.
Why would you lose your mind if its an incel thing? I don't understand why some are so focused on incels?This is local to me and I have many friends who have family members who either attend or work at UNC. It's been a long, hard day.

Thank you for the county and prosecutor drop. I hope some in this group will continue to follow this story through the court frame.Tailei Qi is in custody on charges of first-degree murder charge and having a gun on education property and will have his first court appearance in Hillsborough at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, said prosecutor Jeff Nieman, whose district covers Orange and Chatham counties.

Investigators have not found the firearm that was used in the shooting and it’s not known whether it was legally obtained, James said.
I still have the grant file from the national science foundation with Dr. Yan as the thesis director which should be public access forever. If this was something you wanted to check out on the grant end of their research together, the code is 2131079. Take this code and look up NSF (national science foundation) grant look up, you should find the approved research grant in which Dr. Yan & Qi worked side by side with another researcher. Many of Qi's sickening tweets, I believe talked about the research study in which seems to have fostered anger and hostility.They took down Qi's profile on the UNC website, but this page for the research group still has him:
