A newspaper carrier was killed and four other people were wounded when a man opened fire on cars traveling along a parkway in East Tennessee early Thursday morning.
A police officer responding to the shooting was among those wounded.
Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokesman Josh DeVine said the suspect was armed with at least two weapons. He fired shots just after 2:15 a.m. at a Days Inn on Volunteer Parkway, then opened fire on passing motorists. DeVine said he then fired on responding officers, who returned fire and wounded the shooter.

Police declined to identify the shooter or speculate on his motive as they continued to investigate several crime scenes along the busy highway.

Why might that be?
Because he belongs to a politically favored group?
I’ll put $10 on lone wolf jihadist, just winding down with his ramadamadingdong festivities.
Obviously the Tea Party out of control again. BTT
“Why might that be?”
The usual.
This article uses the word “random” twice.

It might be the result of Ramadan fasting. I know some folks get a bit cross when they are very hungry, and going out and shooting at passing cars is one way to show that you are not happy. If fasting caused this we must understand and not criticize the culture. That would not be inclusive and tolerant.
Apologies, I count at least SIX uses of the word “random” in my posted article, lest anyone think this was anything other than RANDOM.
Like when a muslim opens fire in a Jewish deli, it’s just random.
FU Big Media!
“We will not speculate because he is black and he targeted white people as victims”.
Is "random" an alternate spelling of "Ramadan?"
I won’t say the shooter is a Muslim, but he’s probably a Muslim.
Hey, maybe spell-correct changed Ramadan to random!

46 seconds. Nice.
Oops, my 4:20 pm subtraction was weak. Nice, though.
Timing is everything.
Maybe Al Gore finally went around the bend.
Given the location, I’m betting it was more of a “Justice for Freddie, Michael, Trayvon and the guys last night in Minnesota and Louisiana” moment, rather than a Jihadi moment.
So they published the victim’s name but not the perpetrator’s name? You know, the guy that killed the victim and was shooting at responding law enforcement officers.
LOL, love it!!!
