At least two or three people shoot.
SEATTLE – At least two people have been shot at the Jewish Federation at 2031 Third Ave. in downtown Seattle. One or two people have been taken into custody but it's not known if they are suspects.
One person was reportedly shot in the abdomen and another in the arm. They are being taken to Harborview Medical Center.
Part of Third Avenue and Second Avenue have been closed to traffic. Police are urging people to stay away from the area. It's not known if more suspects are at large but policemen were seen handcuffing one person and others were searching the area.
At least three people were seen emerging from the building, escorted by police. It's not know if they were hostages.
Medics, escorted by police, have been taking other people from the building.
More to come.
I don't think they were right to post the names, either. These people are potential victims, at this point.
The news media have the obligation to confirm the authenticity of the identity of the people they are quoting. Publishing the names at this point I think is wrong. Especially, publishing the names of people who testified to the "I am a Muslim" quote.
Jenny...what do you think?
You're quite welcome, and I hope that tomorrow is a nicer day for everyone. Copycat nutcases may spring up tomorrow or over the coming months in any US city....an event like this had to happen given the state of the world and it was only a matter of when, not if. Please stay safe and know that this stoat appreciates your words. :-)
It's late here and it's time to call it a day.
May God Bless America and watch over Her people....
"waving"
I take that back. They're already on the front page of the Seattle Times, local news.
Along with commentary from some of their family and where the family are located.
Thank you, sir. Much appreciated.
Yep, the past winter I was waiting for Seattle coach Holmgren to go after the guys in stripes.
;-)
Of course (sarcasm off).
Thanks. I am also relieved, and sorry for posting it too!
Understandable. It's difficult to fight the hate aimed at us.
Maybe the woman was hilary.
I'm waiting for the D.U'ers to begin suggesting that the evil Karl Rove and Dick Cheney hired the guy to do his thing to create empathy for the Israelis.P>;-)
There are the ones in the video Libertina posted a link for here as well.
Thanks for getting that fixed.
I love Montana. I miss the smell of the ocean sometimes though, but this is my home now. We'd never been to Montana until one May, we drove up, bought a house, and moved. The seasons are intense! Not as cold as Korea.
I spent 12 years in the Army and I believe Americans should be able to defend themselves and their homes. Buy a handgun, become proficient and get a concealed carry permit if possible. Then put it out of your mind. In my experience trouble usually comes as a surprise, so there's no use being paranoid, just prepared. There's definitely more people here that would defend themselves and there homes with firearms than anywhere else in the world that I've seen.
Unfortunately, it's just impossible to prevent names of victims and other details in an incident this "big" from getting out. I'm certain that they will be offered protection, however.
It's always tough when a nutcase disrupts the lives of innocents.
Thanks for the compliment. Stay safe yourself!!
Encouraging. The task force I mean, of course.
This terrorist incident happened on Friday afternoon, shortly after muslims have their Sunday services.
What mosque does the suspect belong to, and was he in attendance yesterday afternoon?
What did the imam say when he was pulled in for questioning in regards to this matter? Is there room at Gitmo to hold these men and others at the mosque who plotted to commit this act or failed to report the conspiracy ?
Yes, thanks- I just ran across this story.
