Matt Abshire, 21, said he was woken up by the sound of gunshots when he looked out the window and saw a "college-aged kid dead on the road."

Abshire said he followed the suspect west on Platte, who allegedly had multiple weapons including an assault-style rifle. That suspect then shot two other women who died a short time later, an officer with the Colorado Springs Police Department confirms with Denver7.

Nix, that. Just saw that podium says “Arizona”

No idea why it’s included in the gallery for Colorado Springs shooting.

No, the media has orders. When I worked in the media, it was common for police to ‘request’ certain things. If the media did not comply, then reporters had a hard tome getting info of any sort from the Department on any issue.

Since I have no doubt the cops are under Obama control, I also have no doubt the media had been ...requested...to keep certain things, like the obvious 35s under wraps until the OK is given.

Another shooting spree in a Gun Free Zone by some whack-job on psychotropic drugs who took their gun from mommy and daddy or some other family member who failed to secure their weapons properly.

Anyone wanna bet?

EDit 35s should be 5Ws

It was reported dozens of people saw the shooter. It’s too bad my Twitter account was locked. Surely someone there has a photo or description of the “suspect.”

[FourPeas]

Given that none of the reports give any sort of description of the suspect other than male, it seems that there would be some characteristics of him they would rather we not know. Right now. Until, perhaps, his Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, LiveJournal, or whatever is scrubbed.

One day all good people will embrace ECT.

Existential Cage Theory

1: get a cage
2: put the liberal in the cage
3: weld the door shut
4: Walk away

The theory being that if we cage enough liberals, there will be enough good people left to fix the damage liberals are responsible for in the world and perhaps get another couple hundred years of relative sanity before it has to be done again. If we do not, then liberals will continue to multiply and destroy, thus resulting in the extinction of humanity.

I’ve not seen that one before ...thanks for the explanation!

Spread the word!

Excellent graph!

As one who has spent over 35 years working in the media, you are correct Norm.

[Norm Lenhart]

Its amazing how many people think stuff like that is impossible. Impossible? Hell it’s common! SOP/business as usual.

why is this in Chat?

[FourPeas]

I posted it to News, but it was moved to Chat.

Sounds Gay.

Good grief! This piece is so poorly written that it took 2 morons to compose it!

Prayers for the victims and their families.

[Chuckster]

And that’s another thing odd about this story. I looks like all the threads on this event have been moved to chat. It happened yesterday and has not even shown up on Drudge yet.
