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.
Thank you for the link and post numbers, I do appreciate it.
Confirmed.
The one that has been arrested said to a witness (can't confirm is it was a police officer or someone on the scene) that he is a muslim and did this because because of Israel. I still haven't seen anything to absolutely confirm this but I'm back at work now and we have tv's on the floor and on fox news, they are saying the same thing. Muslim who did the shooting because of Israel.
I live in Seattle and work downtown. This happened just as I was getting out of work and as I was walking to a bar to meet friends, ambulances and police cars were barreling down the streets downtown towards where this occured like crazy, but didn't know what was going on. Then in the bar, I saw the news report hit on on the tv what had happened.
He doesn't believe that. They sent out warnings to all local Jewish organizations a few days ago, and many cancelled temple this evening here.
There are police everywhere here, and guarding all Jewish temples and places of interest right now.
Funny the way liberal socialist media pigs redefine reality to fit their Utopian dreams.
911 attack on the WTC aside, the Beslan terrorist attack on the school was the most frightening for me. The photos and reports from that brutal incident made my blood run cold.
How easy would that be to do here in the USA? No guns allowed in schools for teachers and principals...Law enforcement stands around outside wondering what to do (Columbine)...parents are far away at work...no one has the sense to call in the National Guard (New Orleans).
I makes me glad that my grandchildren are homeschooled.
That's confirmed then. I heard 31 yo male Pakistani-American from Pasco Washington.
Just don't forget the Islamofascists want ALL Americans, whether we are Jews, Christians, whatever.
But, for some reason..they feel they can more of a "statment" by attacking Jews..the animals.
As I have said for years... don't trust Pakistan or Pakistanis when it comes to the WOT.

Depending on your state laws a gunshop might sell on consignment or take a trade. Good luck.
"Ankaboot" wrote some interesting commentary on his website to say the least.
You know why you lost and I won? The local peaceniks here are terrified of guns.
Remember the two on the school bus in Florida?
Gee, if this is NOT terrorism, and was a lone person 'acting out his frustration' (sic per FBI), then WHY IS THE FBI IN CHARGE?
As I have said, for years....Trust no one.
Wierd things were stolen, like tons of copper wire. Bodies had begun showing up in the lake and no one ever came forward to identify them.
I kept asking my husband what you could do with copper wire by the truckloard.
He is an attorney who is Shia muslim and I thought the brazen advertising of the camp on an international border with Canada was quite interesting.
I have the right of self defence regardless.
And no one but me would know I was carrying it.
Lodi comes to mind. Might be prudent to start scouring the area for sleeper cells. Oregon has certainly acted as a sanctuary fro terrorist groups and their training camps.
"She" is a "he" (a mother's son) -- and he has not made a lick of sense in any of his posts on this thread.
