WASHINGTON, Dec. 2, 2009 – Thirty-two specifications of attempted premeditated murder were preferred today against alleged Fort Hood, Texas, shooter Army Maj. Nidal M. Hasan under Article 80 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The UCMJ is the U.S. military’s legal system for servicemembers. Hasan allegedly killed 13 people - 12 soldiers and one civilian employee - and wounded 30 others at Fort Hood during a Nov. 5 shooting spree. He now is confined in a medical facility. The alleged shooter was confronted and wounded by two civilian police officers posted on the base. One of the officers, Sgt....

Suspect's dad: FBI 'dropped the ball' on warning signsReported by: David Goins Last Update: 11/24 7:58 am The father of the man charged with shooting two soldiers in Little Rock is speaking out. He says his son, Abdulhakim Muhammad, was manipulated by Islamic extremists overseas and the FBI knew it but didn't step in before it was too late. Melvin Bledsoe of Memphis looks at what his son is accused of doing at the Army Recruiter Station in Little Rock last June the same way he looks at foiled terror plots in Dallas, and the Fort Hood shootings earlier this...

HOW COME NO ONE is REPORTING THIS?

RICHMOND, Va. – Gov. Tim Kaine denied clemency Tuesday for sniper John Allen Muhammad, clearing the way for him to be executed for the attacks that terrorized the nation's capital region for three weeks in 2002. Muhammad is set to die by injection Tuesday night at Greensville Correctional Center in Jarratt. His attorneys had asked Kaine to commute his sentence to life in prison because they say he is mentally ill. The U.S. Supreme Court turned down his final appeal.

President Obama says "we cannot fully know" what led Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan to kill 13 people and wound 38 others at Fort Hood, Texas Thursday. Hasan reportedly shouted "Allahu Akbar!" before the killings, wrote Internet postings justifying Muslim suicide bombings, considered U.S. forces the enemy, and opposed American involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan as wars on Islam. His rampage at Ft. Hood has the markings of an act of Islamic terrorism. But in his weekly address, Obama says, "We cannot fully know what leads a man to do such a thing." And while the killings were "heartbreaking" and...

Its a "criminal investigation"...just another shooting, Move along now, nothing here..... don't jump to conclusions!

My apologies if this a duplicate. I didn't see this posted. I couldn't help but notice on ABC's 20/20 'report' on the Fort Hood shooting last night, that they went out of their way to blame "stress" for the shooting despite the fact that the shooter had never been deployed anywhere, nor had he ever been on the battle field. Although they did touch upon his islamic jihadi tendencies of late, they didn't dare point to that as the motive. They also only gave a brief (literally 10-15 seconds) mention of the heroic woman (Kimberly Munley)who stopped the killer's rampage...

If you missed Lt. Col. Ralph Peters on the O'Reilly Factor, be sure and either watch or record the re-broadcast at 11PM ET. He is the first and only person who labeled the shooter exactly what he is. An Islamic-Terrorist. It was an excellent interview by Col. Peters. He read O'Reilly the "riot act".

Islamic jihadists routinely characterize anti-terror efforts as part of a "war on Islam." But of course, there is no war on terror, and there is no war on Islam. There is just the Islamic jihad against the U.S. and the West. "Hasan Called War on Terror 'War Against Islam,' Classmate Says," by Justin Blum for Bloomberg, November 6: Nov. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people and wounding 30 others at the Fort Hood Army Base in Texas, regularly described the war on terror as "a war against Islam," according to a...

He handed out Korans? But didn't what he read in the Book of Peace make him think that he shouldn't go through with the massacre? Or maybe he read that Paradise was guaranteed to those who "kill and are killed" for Allah (9:111), and took that seriously. Note also that he affected Islamic clothing -- as did another "moderate," Maher Hawash, before the latter embarked upon his jihad. "Police raid shooting suspect's Killeen apartment," by Victor O'Brien for the Killeen Daily Herald, November 6 (thanks to Ernest): Bell County SWAT teams barricaded and evacuated a downtown Killeen apartment complex where...

UPDATE: Army recruiting shooter declines name changeLast Update: 6/30 7:20 pm The man charged with shooting two Army recruiters, killing one of them, says in court Tuesday he no longer wants to change his name. It was part of a civil hearing for Abdulhakim Muhammad, 23, who also faces a capital murder charge for his accused act of domestic terrorism. FOX16 News was the only station at the hearing. Pulaski County prosecutors are still working on filing formal criminal charges against Abdulhakim Muhammad. Muhammad didn't appear to know which way to go stepping into the hallway on the fourth floor...

My father's beliefs have been a constant source of verbal and mental abuse my family has had to suffer with for many years. His views consumed him, and in doing so, not only destroyed his life, but destroyed our family and ruined our lives as well. ***snip*** For the extremists who believe my father is a hero: it is imperative you understand what he did was an act of cowardice. To physically force your beliefs onto others with violence is not brave, but bullying. Doing so only serves to prove how weak those beliefs are.

All day yesterday, as this unfolded, the MSM painted Von Brunn as a conservative quack. Just like the ones we were warned about in a certain famous report from the federal government labeling conservative veterans as potential terrorists. The most sickening of these came from Shep Smith at Fox News who spent his whole program using the shooting as a way to confirm the report had been accurate. Now we are learning that Von Brunn hated conservatives, and may be a registered Democrat. The fact that he was a truther should have spelled this out to everyone.

Freepers: After sleeping on it, I have decided to call you to action! A great injustice is being perpetrated by our main stream media (MSM) and our Commander In Chief (CINC), President Barrack Hussein Obama. The time now is 10:04 CST, 02 JUNE 09, exactly 24 hours after Privates William Long, 23 of Conway, AR, and Private Second Class Quinton Ezeagwula, 18, of Jacksonville, AR became the first victims of terrorism on American soil since 11 SEP 01 and we have heard no statement from their Commander in Chief, President Barrack Hussein Obama. Almost as egregious as Obama’s silence, we...

The California Highway Patrol is on a manhunt for the person using vehicles on a stretch of Bay Area freeway for target practice. At least 10 cars on Interstate 680 near the Fremont-Sunol border have been riddled with pellets over the past week or so, leaving the people inside rattled with fear. Five of the shootings happened within a five minute span on Saturday. Tom Loker was driving on 680 north of Fremont Saturday at about 11:45 p.m. when his car was hit. "All of a sudden we heard a bang." Loker explained, "It sounded like a gun shot or...

OCTOBER 28--Angered that two neighborhood teenagers knocked over a John McCain sign on his lawn, an Ohio man allegedly grabbed a rifle and fired three times at the duo as they sought to drive away from his Warren Township home. Kenneth Rowles, 50, was charged with felonious assault in connection with the Saturday afternoon incident, which resulted in one boy suffering a minor bullet wound.

~excerpt~FAYETTEVILLE, Arkansas (AP) -- A federal jury convicted a 23-year-old man on an obscure weapons charge Tuesday, apparently unaware that 10 years ago he and another boy killed four classmates and a teacher in a schoolyard ambush. Mitchell Johnson, who killed classmates and a teacher 10 years ago, was convicted of a gun charge Tuesday. Mitchell Johnson faces 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine when he is sentenced in the next 45 days on a count of possessing a firearm while being a drug user. Through his attorney, Johnson declined to comment Tuesday. Johnson was arrested on New...

Mark Schaepe said he saw his nieces Rachael and Stephanie Works only a handful of times during trips to a family cabin halfway between the Workses' home in Denver and Schaepe's home in Lincoln, Neb. But it took only those few trips for Schaepe to understand how special the girls were, he said. "Family picnics, hiking, fishing at Lake Maloney. They never went anywhere without a smile," Schaepe said. "They were happy girls who loved life just like their mother." Rachael, 16, and Stephanie, 18, were shot and killed by Matthew Murray, 24, at New Life Church in Colorado Springs....

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - The man who killed four people at a church and missionary training center died of a self-inflicted shotgun wound, police said Tuesday. Matthew Murray, 24, was struck multiple times by a security officer at New Life Church Sunday but died after firing a single shot at himself, the El Paso County Coroner's Office concluded after an autopsy.

cbs4denver will live stream a news conference about the religious shootings with Arvada and Colorado Springs Police at 4 p.m. A link will be provided here (at http://cbs4denver.com/ )

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The deadly shooting sprees at a megachurch and a missionary training school were believed to have been carried out by the same person — a 24-year-old suburban Denver man who "hated Christians," a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation, identified the gunman as Matthew Murray, the son of a neurologist who is a prominent researcher on multiple sclerosis. Five people — including a gunman — were killed, and five others wounded Sunday in the two eruptions...

A Utah teenager has admitted creating a fake Asa Coon Web page on the social networking site Myspace.com. Posing as the gunman in Wednesday's shooting at Success Tech Academy in Cleveland, the 19-year-old creator of the fake Web site said in an email exchange with the Plain Dealer: "I don't generally give out personal information ... I, like many others (search for any famous person) make fake profiles on MySpace for the sole purpose of giving people a place to vent their thoughts and feelings." Several national television news organizations and Web sites have quoted from Coon's page as real....

Shooter (2007) Plot summary: Bob Lee Swagger, one of the world's great marksmen and the son of a Congressional Medal of Honoree, is a loner living in the Rockies. He's left the military, having been hung out to dry in a secret Ethiopian mission a few years before, when he's recruited by a lisping colonel to help find a way that the President of the US might be assassinated in one of three cities in the next two weeks. He does his work, but the shot is fired notwithstanding and Bob Lee is quickly the fall guy: wounded and hunted...

MOSCOW, Idaho (AP) -- Two law enforcement officers and two civilians were wounded and police said early Sunday morning that they believe they have the shooter cornered in a church. Police declined to release the condition of the people who had been shot, and few details were immediately available. David Duke, Moscow assistant police chief, said a city police officer and a Latah County sheriff's deputy were shot late Saturday night or early Sunday morning near downtown. Two civilians were also shot. Duke said the victims were shot with automatic weapons. Dozens of law enforcement officers surrounded the First Presbyterian...

April 20, 2007, 4:03AM Va. Tech shooter did not talk much as a child, relatives say By BO-MI LIM Associated Press SEOUL, South Korea — Cho Seung-Hui was a worry to his family because he did not speak much as a child, and after the family emigrated to the United States doctors thought he might be autistic, relatives in South Korea said Thursday. Family members said there were even concerns the boy might be mute. The South Korean student killed 32 people and himself at Virginia Tech on Monday, the deadliest school shooting in modern U.S. history. Former classmates said...

TEACHERS locked classroom doors, lowered shades and kept nearly 22,000 school children inside all day today in two northern California cities after a man threatened to go on a killing spree inspired by Tuesday's mass murder at Virginia Tech university.

“From Address” on Package sent to NBC from Cho A. Ismail 88 Revol Blacksburg, VA . “88” — used as a greeting or a closing by Neo-Nazis (in e-mails or handles).

BLACKSBURG, Va. - Long before he snapped, Virginia Tech gunman Cho Seung-Hui was picked on, pushed around and laughed at over his shyness and the strange way he talked when he was a schoolboy in the Washington suburbs, former classmates say. Chris Davids, a Virginia Tech senior who graduated from Westfield High School in Chantilly, Va., with Cho in 2003, recalled that the South Korean immigrant almost never opened his mouth and would ignore attempts to strike up a conversation. Once, in English class, the teacher had the students read aloud, and when it was Cho's turn, he just looked...

First it was Johnny Muhammad, now it was Cho Sueng Hui aka Ismail Ax. Precisely how many mass shooters have to turn out to have adopted Muslim names before we get it? Islam has become the tribe of choice of those who hate American society. I'm not talking about people who grew up as Muslims, confident and secure in their faith, good fathers, sons and neighbors. I'm talking about the angry, malignant, narcissist loners who want to reject their community utterly, to throw off their 'slave name' and represent the downtrodden of the earth by shooting their friends and neighbors....

BLACKSBURG, Va. - The gunman blamed for the deadliest shooting in modern U.S. history had previously been accused of stalking two female students at Virginia Tech and had been taken to a mental health facility in 2005 after an acquaintance worried he might be suicidal, police said Wednesday.

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- The suspected gunman in the Virginia Tech shooting rampage, Cho Seung-Hui, was a troubled 23-year-old senior from South Korea who investigators believe left an invective-filled note in his dorm room, sources say. The note included a rambling list of grievances and ended with the words "Ismail Ax" in red ink on the inside of one of his arms.

An Orangevale youth who fatally shot a passing motorist with a hunting rifle had to write a 1,000 word essay on why he was sorry and will serve 30 days in juvenile hall. The sentence is far short of the maximum penalty of 14 years' incarceration. The 14-year-old shot Gary Marcy, 69, of South Natomas, on Sept. 27, while barely missing his wife of nearly 50 years, who was sitting beside Marcy in the vehicle. "I killed a man that day, and nobody knows how it feels," the youth said as part of the essay he read in court. "I...

NICKEL MINES, Penn. (Reuters) - The 32-year-old dairy truck driver who stormed a one-room school and killed five girls apparently chose the schoolhouse because it was an easy target rather than because he had a grudge against the Amish, police said. Pennsylvania police said the man lost a child of his own three years ago, and they were investigating suicide notes that he left as well as statements he made to his wife that he was seeking revenge for something that occurred 20 years ago. Two girls died overnight, bringing to five the number of students killed, police said on...

The moral of the story is, it's probably not a good idea to drive with a loaded weapon tucked between your legs. Wichita police said a 25-year-old man was driving south on West Street shortly before 4 p.m. Monday when a gun went off in the car. The victim told police the gun was in his pocket. But there was no hole in the man's pants pocket, Sgt. Steve Hiser said. The bullet passed through the victim's left thigh, Hiser said. Police don't know what kind of gun it was, he said, because a front-seat passenger took the gun and...

Seven years after a massacre at a Jonesboro, Ark., middle school, one of the convicted killers is scheduled to go free Thursday. And that's prompting anger from the relatives of Mitchell Johnson's victims, who say it's not fair he'll be able to resume his life, while they'll never see their loved ones again. Four students and a teacher were killed when two boys lured them outside the Westside Middle School, then started shooting. Johnson was convicted of murder as a juvenile. But because Thursday is his 21st birthday, he cannot legally be held in prison any longer.

Bill Hallin continues to be a straight shooter -- even at the age of 97. When he can get a ride from his Roseburg apartment out to the Roseburg Rod and Gun Club in Winchester, he shoots his Thompson Center Encore 6 mm benchrest pistol. At 100 yards, his three-shot grouping is usually one-quarter inch. When he shoots five times, he admits there might be one shot out to one-half inch. "I still shoot well enough," Hallin said with a smile. "Other people think I'm a good shot." Fred Dayton, a past president of the Rod and Gun Club who...

Motorist Shot on San Diego Freeway in North Hills LOS ANGELES (AP) — An 18 year-old motorist on the San Diego (405) Freeway was shot three times today by a gunman in black Honda, police said.

The very same day that the Clintons go to Long Island to meet with the TWA Flight 800 families, security guard Richard Jewell is patrolling the grounds of Centennial Park in Atlanta. He's a little Barney Fife-ish, but a good guy and very observant. Right around midnight, Jewell spots a large, olive-green, military-style backpack, known as an Alice pack, under a bench. He immediately shares this information with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. When the GBI cannot find the pack's owner, the GBI officer and Jewell begin to clear an area around the pack. Soon afterward, the pack explodes. Two...
