One dead, at least five injured in shooting at Jewish Federation in Seattle
SEATTLE – One person has been killed and at least five others have been injured in a shooting at the Jewish Federation at 2031 Third Ave. in downtown Seattle. One suspect has been taken into custody....
Sources told KING 5 the suspect is a 31-year-old Pakistani man with a criminal background. He is from the Pasco but his citizenship status or how long he has lived in the United States is unknown. Also unknown is what sort of criminal record he has. Officials are on the way to the Pasco to interview his family....
According to the Seattle Times, 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.
A Harborview Medical Center spokesperson said five women were brought in, and three of them are in critical condition. They have not yet been identified. Their ages are 23, 27, 29, 19 and 43. The 43-year-old woman was reportedly shot in the abdomen. Two vicitms were in satisfactory condition: a woman, who's 17 weeks pregnant whowas shot in the arm and another victim with a knee injury....
...It's not yet known if the incident is politically motivated. The Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle says on its Web site that its mission is to "ensure Jewish survival and enhance the quality of Jewish life locally, in Israel and worldwide."
...Iantha Sidell, past chairperson of the Jewish Federation Center, said: "We believe in life and it's hard to believe there will ever be peace when you're dealing with people who don't value life."

" Unknown immigration status "
I wouldn't call him an American just yet!
"put a bullet into his mad dog brain"
Looks like the battle field of this war is on our home turf.
Do we have to put the enemy on trial each time they attack us?
Too bad the SWAT team didn't get have better aim a bit sooner. Now we have to waste time with a trial.
Just yesterday the second banana terrorist appeared in the news saying that the whole world has unfolded as a battleground for muslims and a nut job goes on a shooting spree.
I think it's more than being scared. PC advocates and adherents actually like the dark side, in their heart of hearts (to varying degrees, of course).
Any virtue, if not strengthened with courage, is useless anyway.
Ditto!
Oh, the stupid news was reporting him as a Pakistani American.
Oh go ahead - everyone is entitled to call themselves an 'American' these days.
In Dearborn Michigan today, I saw grafitti on a Firestation street sign.
"Israelis are Terrorists"
I've lived in Dearborn for a while, but, except for the occasional rally, I've never seen this.
Now, a shooting in Seattle by a disgruntled Muslim.
I fear this will not be the last we hear of these things.
This IS a "hate crime", if ever there was one.
Kill him, immediately! No trial, no consideration, no chance, just like he gave those he shot. Sorry POS, camel turd!!
But maybe, just maybe, this will wake up a few people.
Melvil Dewey did the classification.
PubEd, is John Dewy.
Ya think this might get the liberal Jews in this country to forget about Gun Control and arm themselves ---NAH

The Fifth Column strikes! We have a dangerous cohort of arab sleeper agents in this country, ready to wreak havoc. Time to start putting them in internment camps. The sheeple in liberal Seattle and elsewhere need to WAKE UP! Islam is not a religion, it is an ideology of violence and hatred. The muslims are determined to destroy western civilization. We need to destroy them first.
Easy-peasy.
The Israelis have managed to shoot suicide bombers BEFORE they have a chance to detonate.
If it'll save one child... ;-)
The writing is on the wall folks. I say put those huge secret high security detention centers in desolate areas discussed on conspiracy websites to good use. Criminalize Islam and halt all immigration legal or otherwise by all means. We have a splinter that will turn into an infection that will turn into an amputation that will turn into a national death certificate if things aren't addressed immediately without regard for political correctness. Or we can wait until millions are dead and every street looks like the Watts riots.
