I just feel like Blackstone locks their shit down hard enough no one could just "wander in" with a rifle...

You don't do over 13 billion in gross annual revenue without springing for a security service.
But even assuming that were an accident, that means the federal government sees any death of a high level executive of a billion dollar corporation as a horrible crime of itself completely different from a regular murder. Even if they're not the intended target.
It's a sentiment most people arrive at even if they can't verbalize or fully understand it.
And it's not helping them. Cracking down on the populace is the absolute worst thing to be doing now, thousands of years have produced more than enough examples.
On a basic level people are going to start thinking of everyone that's not a billionaire as "us" and everyone working with billionaires in a high level "them".
The rest is just the natural result of how humans are wired, and why the wealthy try so hard to make us draw the us/them lines literally anywhere else.
But there's no just war but a class war, and eventually the majority remember that.
One of the people shot was a security guard. But regular corporate security is a sham.
A liqour store in the hood at least pays a real cop to sit in a real cop car outside...
