The gunman shot dead by cops after opening fire on the steps of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine on Sunday had a long rap sheet that included an attempted murder bust, according to records and sources.

Luis Vasquez, 52, was arrested on the Upper West Side for attempted murder in 1990, and on an assault charge there a year earlier, sources said Monday.

Vasquez, of the Bronx, was also hit with a drug sale charge in 1989, as well as a marijuana charge in the Bronx in 2012 and a turnstile-jumping offense in 2007.

Where were the social workers to intervene? /sarc.

[Tax-chick]

Is there rioting, or was he the wrong color of career criminal shot by police?

[ConservativeStatement]

At least he was heeding advice to wear a mask. Now whether he socially distanced, that is up for debate.

[Tax-chick]

The mask helps keep your nose warm on a cold day.

[ConservativeStatement]

It also provides a hindrance to those who may be binge eaters.

What is that? a Raven .25?

Not fat enough. A black and a white one in each hand.

Notice the Dominican Republic Flag face mask.

No wonder the commie media dropped this story like a sack of potatoes..the perp wasn’t a “White right winger”

[ConservativeStatement]

I don’t think so but I am sure others can assist you. Also, from what I read, he had at least two guns in his property.

Catch and release. Everyone deserves a third chance?

[Tax-chick]

Good point.

A crazed, illegal alien with a long rap sheet who never was deported. Nothing wrong with this picture.

Biden wants to give 22 million of them amnesty and make them citizens. Talk about real trouble!

[ConservativeStatement]

“Gun violence” to the lefties. Nothing else.

Marijuana psychosis.

And the hat. I noticed that too but I have no idea why anybody from DR would do something like that. Washington Heights and all of Upper Manhattan is full of Dominicans, who are doing just fine, thank you.

Maybe he was just crazy or a druggie. It turns out he also had explosives and gasoline in a bag near him.

Perhaps Tyler Perry will cover his funeral and pay his family a hundred grand to sue the cops.

So it wasn't a Trump supporter then?
Expect it to disappear from the news quickly.
