At least two or three people shoot.


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.

I have been worried that it would come to this. To our Jewish brothers, please keep your heads up and your eyes wide open. If you are approached or see something that doesn't seem or smell right, get yourselves in a position to fight or flee and get on the horn to law enforcement as soon as you can.
Stay safe~.

A mezuzah is a little box attached to the door post with certain passages of the Torah inside. When an observant Jew leaves his house he kisses his hand and touches the mezuzah as a sign of respect to God and His Word.

"One witness, who declined to give her name, said a man walked into the Jewish Federation building with a gun, said he was upset about what was going on in Israel, then opened fire. After the shootings, the man said to call 911, the witness said. The witness said the man identified himself as an American Muslim."

Has CAIR made a statement yet?

I'm still on NWCN - any word on your end about the fatality? Obviously, they have to notify family, but the story is now over two hours old.

We can predict CAIR's response.

I remember how long it took for the word "terrorism" to finally be used in connection with the El Al counter attack at LAX...

YOU are so right...

I heard Sean Hannity "break" some news on his radio show today...that we had been talking about on FR for 2 days!! LOL

Fox ran a newsbreak about this a few minutes ago...but said there is "no known motive".

Looks like FReepers will have to email FOX with the whole truth about this incident:

Seattle police have arrested one man who reportedly walked into the Jewish Federation building with a handgun and began shooting.

Seattle newspaper reports:

"...A man got through security at the Jewish Federation and told staff members, "I'm a Muslim American; I'm angry at Israel," then began shooting, according to Amy Wasser-Simpson, the vice president for planning and community services for the Jewish Federation.

I think, with Israel at war, things are different now.

Doubt the Muslims will be enjoying as much of the politically correct treatment they have in the past.

I'm checking the MSM and I'm wondering if we have a PC reaction occurring already.

We had an incident like this in Pittsburgh PA, South Hills suburban area within the last ten years. Caucasian shooter, a crazy, hate-filled dude, shot up the Jewish Community Center in Mt. Lebanon, killed his elderly Jewish neighbor, also targeted several blacks and Asians. Killed approx. five people, wounded a few others. Found guilty and is in jail....can't remember further details.

"I'm a Muslim American; I'm angry at Israel,"

I'm a non-Muslim American infidel; I'm angry as muslims.

KING 5 (again, unsourced) just announced the suspect's first name is "Navin" and he is 31 years of age.

That's "NAH-vin", not the name of Steve Martin's character in "The Jerk".
