Update:

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.

FOXNews on Friday night is a vaste wasteland.

Better to stay informed right here on FR.

A Jewish religious symbol that virtually all Jewish homes have on their front doors.

The shooter's statement about being a Muslim angry about Israel has already gotten worldwide play. I don't think this one is getting hushed up.

RE: Local TV (KING 5) just reported the shooter is a PAKISTANI (my caps) with a residence in Tri-Cities (south-eastern WA). And Seattle police are investigating with local police in Tri-Cities.

Thanks. Keep us posted.

They have form press releases or templates for just this purpose and a word processing database with all the right addresses. When incidents like this happen there is someone right there to fax out the pre-written disinformation and mail out the press releases.

Just because he might have acted alone doesn't mean it wasn't terrorism inspired by their moon-god.

That would be terrorism inspired by their death cult. While I of course don't buy the religion of peace line, there are a huge number of people around the world who do condemn these morons, eject them from their communities, and are extremely peaceful. Giving them the privilege of calling their insanity being inspired by some divine power devalues the beliefs of all.

Oh, I'm sure it's getting all over the blogosphere as we speak. Already put it on mine.

"and it's the same as the Oklahoma U bomb/suicide at the football game"

Yes it is. Thanks for the reminder.

[JennysCool]

Yes, baby "satisfactory" as well, per reports.

Yes, worldwide.

3 injured critically; 2 in satisfactory condition. Pregnant women and her baby is okay.

[Candor7]

Radical Islamists on my tab.

[yield 2 the right]

Per KING TV CH5 Bottom Banner(quoting shooter):" I am a Muslim American and I'm angry"

[Pharmboy]

Hmmm...if that's the shooter, looks a bit middle eastern to me.

This act of terrorism violates numerous federal laws including attacks against a religious place. This thug should be given a swift and fair federal trial for terrorist activities, rubbed in bacon, and executed expeditiously facing down with his ass pointed toward Mekkah.
