According to the story, an official with the state Economic Development Office sent the Freedom Group an offer for a $1 million loan at an interest rate of 2 percent annually as well as other incentives to move its headquarters and executives from North Carolina to Stamford.

The offer was pulled Dec. 18, four days after the shooting, the story said.
