Which is interesting, because in the VERY SAME ARTICLE they reveal what seems to be an ABUNDANTLY CLEAR MOTIVE:

Rémy Heitz, the Paris prosecutor, who handles terrorism investigations nationwide, said at a news conference in Strasbourg on Wednesday that witnesses had heard the attacker yell “Allahu akbar,” or “God is great” in Arabic, and that the targets and the suspect’s profile justified the opening of a terrorism investigation.

His “motive” was Islamic extremism.

Where’s the mystery here, NYT?

Golly gee, if only we had some kind of clue

It’s amazing how this mass shooting has basically disappeared out of the news cycle within 18 hours.
