Herald Courier ^ | July 8, 2016

BRISTOL, Tenn. -- Nearly 36 hours after a shooting spree killed one and wounded three others in downtown Bristol, the identity of the shooter has still not been released by police.

Josh DeVine, spokesman for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, told the Bristol Herald Courier this morning that investigators hope to release something "soon."

Just after 2 a.m. Thursday, gunfire erupted on the Volunteer Parkway in the area of the Days Inn, killing Jennifer Rooney, a carrier for the Herald Courier, and wounding a Bristol Tennessee police officer, a clerk at the hotel, and another person who has not been identified. The shooter was shot by police.

Officials say 37 year-old Lakeem Keon Scott was armed with at least two weapons, an automatic-style rifle and a pistol, along with a large amount of ammunition.

“All you need to know is this: we have determined that this was not a terrorist act, but the unfortunate act of a single individual suffering from mental instability, a ‘lone wolf’ if you will.”

He was motivated by BLM, apparently.

USA Today just posted:

“Lakeem Keon Scott revealed he was troubled by incidents across the U.S. The TBI says the suspect is black; the shooting victims are all white......”

Way back then, the southerners should have picked their own cotton.

What a disaster - importing these low IQ beasts, who are unable and unwilling to assimilate or behave in a civilized fashion, despite trillions, TRILLIONS of dollars thrown at them.

So we have now had police officers shot (along with others) in at least 3 states (TX, TN, GA) With shooters all saying almost the same exact thing -- But this in NOT a coordinated effort..........

That other Freeper needs to pull his/her head out of his/her PC *ss. These people are being KILLED by blacks simply becuase they are white. ALL members of ‘Black Lives Matter’ should be placed under arrest for inciting these acts of terror.

DNc has to alter all the social media sites the shooter was a a member of.

More specifically, black Democrats.

We’ve got some black Freepers, I’m sure.

automatic-style rifle"

Agreed, a particularly ignorant way for them to describe whatever weapon was used.

Investigators spoke with Scott Friday morning. Preliminary findings indicate Scott may have targeted people and officers after being troubled by recent events involving black people and law enforcement officers in other parts of the country.

Just another lone black gunman killing all the whites he can. Nothing to see here. Not a terrorist act.

After all, Black Lies Matter.
