Just heard on Fox News...
Here is the Washington Times article discussing it:

Mexico should raise the flag and declare victory. What do they need with a consulate, for heaven's sake. It's not like California is part of a foreign country anymore. They invaded and conquered without firing a shot.
That cop needs a metal if he popped that guy.
There is a video link on this page - on the right side.

They are working on Arizona and New Mexico too...
Is that John? Or is that Ken?
... think the shot came from the right of that officer.
I'm just copying and pastin'. This is the final stat I didn't include in my above post:
"Research suggests that injury related deaths, including homicide and suicide, account for approximately one-third of all maternal mortality cases, while medical reasons make up the rest. But, homicide is the leading cause of death overall for pregnant women, followed by cancer, acute and chronic respiratory conditions, motor vehicle collisions and drug overdose, peripartum and postpartum cardiomyopthy, and suicide."
From: Nannini, A., Weiss, J., Goldstein, R., & Fogerty, S., (2002). Pregnancy-Associated Mortality at the End of the Twentieth Century: Massachusetts, 1990 – 1999. Journal of the American Medical Women’s Association, Vol. 57, No. 23, Summer 2002.
It's not hard. He probably killed her, and he'll probably get away with it.
That doesn't happen every day.
Witnesses said the building was very crowded with people getting Matricula cards, and getting permission to go back to Mexico for the holidays.
Incident started on 4th floor....reporter indicated individual would have passed through security.
official press conference with Mayor Hahn and police chief - treating this as a crime in progress not as terrorist threat. They do not believe the suspect and the hostage were know to each other...motive unknown.
What was the beef? (sounds like it's over now?)
I am not sure...
An LAPD Rampart Division Foot Beat Sergeant took him out with a headshot while holding the hostage at gunpoint.
STAND-BY FOR LAPD FOR TERRORIST INCIDENT
On Tuesday, November 9, 2004 at 0854 hours eleven companies of Firefighters, eleven Rescue Ambulances, three Battalion Commanders, one Division Commander, three EMS Battalion Captains, two Arson/Terrorist Teams and one Rehab Utility under the command of Deputy Chief Mario D. Rueda ( Fire Chief William Bamattre on scene, but command remained with Chief Rueda) at the request of the LAPD, responded to a hostage situation stand-by at 6th Street and Carondelet Street in the Westlake area. 2401 W. 6th Street is the location of the Mexican Consulate where the LAPD incident was taking place. Shortly after Fire Department arrival, a nineteen-year old male was transported by Rescue Ambulance to LACOUSC in critical condition from a gunshot wound. A thirty-six year old female, 8 months pregnant and a sixty-year old female, both suffering from emotional distress were transported to Good Samaritan Hospital in stable condition for further evaluation. LAPD and FBI are continuing the investigation.
KCAL and another station are reporting this guy wanted to protest the election.... G.O.P was written on his sign.
