Federal authorities have just filed a complaint against Floyd Corkins, the man who allegedly shot a guard at the headquarters of the Family Research Council on Wednesday. An FBI affidavit states that Corkins allegedly said words to the effect of “I don’t like your politics” when he encountered the guard.

The FBI said Corkins had 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches, a Sig Sauer 9mm pistol, two additional magazines loaded with ammunition and an additional box of 50 rounds of ammunition when he came into the building.

His parents told the FBI that Corkins “has strong opinions with respect to those he believes do not treat homosexuals in a fair manner.”
