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.
Jerusalem Post is running it as story on front page- they are using the AP write-up though- which doesn't yet inform the reader of the quotes heard by witnesses, nor the man's Pakistani background.
Nothing I've heard yet.
"I am a Muslim American and I'm angry"
I am an American, and I'm armed, ready and paying close attention.
Oh, and I'm fairly pissed off.
hey Tx...
Now I remember...even as a 15-year-old Roman Catholic, I was very moved by the emotion Judah Ben-Hur showed every time he performed this act of faith.
Of course, it helped that Ben-Hur was portrayed by a young and absolutely gorgeous Charlton Heston.
Does that include Fox, MSNBC, and CNN? Are they emphasizing that he's Muslim? I've seen it in Haaretz.
But a jerk, nonetheless.
AP....figures...
That was be a credible quote if they are repeating it several times..I can not hear the Live Video stream clearly(low audio volume on live stream, maxed out volume on my PC's windows player)does any one else know who gave that quote to the local media?
Orthodox Jews do this as a matter of course...
Since the guy already said he was a Muslim angry at Israel, I would think that bet is moot.
That's where my money is.
It contains the shem'a, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our G-d, the Lord, He is One..." (Deut. 6:4-9), and Deut. 11:13-21.
For the record, the creep who shot up the Pittsburgh synagogue was Charles Baumhammer.
At the very least, nearly everyone is reporting he is Pakistani.
Holy Moly: Linda Brill just actually said, "we've been told that the Jewish Sabbath begins tonight at sundown."
I gotta get out of this town.
Yes, the shooter and all Muslims are the true victims.
I heard that. Early on, Linda said the victims were rushed to the hospital in a "glorious display of lights."
I'm a non-Muslim American infidel; I'm angry as muslims.
They are just angry..period. Violently so at that.
going to run....for now...hope to see you later...PING me anything interesting if you can, pretty please????
