6 shot, 1 fatally at Seattle Jewish center

By TIM BOOTH, Associated Press Writer

9 minutes ago

A man walked into a Jewish organization Friday afternoon and opened fire, killing one person and injuring at least five others before he was arrested, officials said.

The gunman, who employees said claimed to be a Muslim angry at Israel, forced his way through the security door at the Jewish Federation after an employee had punched in her security code, said Marla Meislin-Dietrich, a co-worker who was not at the building at the time.

Staff members said they overheard him saying "'I am a Muslim American, angry at Israel,' before opening fire on everyone," Meislin-Dietrich said. "He was randomly shooting at everyone."

Police would not confirm the account.

David Gomez, an FBI assistant special agent in charge of counterterrorism, said investigators believe the gunman targeted the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle.

"We believe at this point it's a lone individual acting out antagonism toward this particular organization," Gomez said.

But remember, criticism of Israel has nothing to do with anti semitism.

Horrible.

"We believe at this point it's a lone individual.."

Now if they could only round up and incapacitate thousands of these "lone indivdiuals", we'd be all set.

I am sure that line is going to win him a lot of friends in prison in Seattle.

Any confirmation he was a Paki? Yoni, on Hugh Hewitt, reported his sources said the guy was a Paki w/a criminal record.

That's not fair. I stand with Israel in this conflict, but I'm not going to agree with any State all the time. And that includes Israel.

For you to assume a disagreement with Israel is the same as being an anti-Semitic killer is nuts. Are you so stressed by all that's going on that you've lost your sense of logic?

...acting out antagonism toward this particular organization.

Of course. Just angry with the "organization." Nothing at all to do with the Muzzie centuries old virulent hatred of Jews. Nope.

Just what are your grievances against the Jewish state of Israel?

"...acting out antagonism toward this particular organization."

He was a Muslim taking it out on any Jews he could find. Innocent people don't deserve to be shot down because someone is "angry". I know, I'm stating the obvious.

I don't call myself a "Christian American." Perhaps "Muslim" in this case means more than just religion; something that supercedes loyalty to one's country.

Obviously he took the latest Zawahiri tape to heart. There may be more to come.
