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.
KING 5 (unsourced) just announced SPD may have had a prior tip before the incident to "watch synagogues".
Local news is driving me up the wall. The PC News Filter is just screwed on too tight.

"At least one killed during shooting at Seattle Jewish federation
One person in custody"

P-I REPORTERs
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "At least five people were shot - one fatally - this afternoon at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle by a man a witness said was upset about "what was going on in Israel."
Police spokesman Rich Pruitt said there was one shooter, who was apprehended without incident outside the Jewish Federation Building located on the corner of Third Avenue and Virginia Street. Pruitt said there were at least two victims on the third floor of the building.
Police got reports of shots fired shortly before 4 p.m."
Yep...they're already putting the spin on for the religion of peace!!!
There was no indication of a connection between the shooting and the situation in the Middle East, the police spokesman said.
Local TV (KING 5) just reported the shooter is a Pakistani with a residence in Tri-Cities (south-eastern WA). And Seattle police are investigating with local police in Tri-Cities.
Have an Israeli flag in my window to show solidarity. Trying to locate a mezuzah for my front door.
They really couldn't comment on much of anything.
pingster!
"Muzzies or skinheads?"
... or liberals/democrats/lefties/pigressives.
""Insane actions of attacking offices does not require any orders. Please don't give them such credit - odds are this is a lone gunman being an idiot, just like the next attack will be.""
I agree. This one surrendered easily. Not a pro.
It's from marrying their cousins for 1400 years.
ABC News just now -- no info given on identity of shooter at all! Nada, nothing!!! DBM strikes again.
I wonder if Koffi Annan will denounce the point blank firing of a shotgun into the belly of a pregnant jew perpeted by a muslin without provokation?
Im waiting
These people are crazies.
DHS issued a warning two weeks ago....SPD probably issued a warning after the AQ video was show in full yesterday.
Not just any cousins, but FIRST cousins.
Them thar' ain't fer kissin.
The real news will get out, despite Al-Reuters and Al AP.
Too many people are linked up for them to spin this into a random act.
They often shave their heads in fulfillment of a vow.
Go to "Dor L Dor" across from Costco on Morena Blvd
