A 30-year-old Pakistani man, announcing he was a Muslim and angry about Israel, pulled out a gun in the Seattle Jewish Federation today and shot six people, one dead.

The gunman, identified by law enforcement sources as Naveed Afzal Haq, 30, reportedly lives in Pasco, Washington and has a charge of lewd conduct pending against him in Benton County, Washington. He reportedly is a U.S. citizen.
According to several witnesses, the Haq got through security and announced to staff members: "I'm a Muslim American; I'm angry at Israel." He immediately began shooting randomly with a semiautomatic 9-mm handgun at the 18 employees and visitors in the offices.
The Seattle Times reports the gunman shot ordered a receptionist to call 911 after he shot her.
"He told the police that it was a hostage situation and he wanted us to get our weapons out of Israel," one of the wounded workers said.
FBI spokesman David Gomez said officials believe the suspect acted alone and is not affiliated with a foreign organization.
Haq's father was a founding member of the Islamic Centre of Tri-Cities in Richland. He and his wife moved to Pasco three years ago.
According to Chris Richey of Everett, Haq had been his neighbor until two weeks ago, when he abruptly moved. The landlady at their apartment told Richey Haq was going to Pakistan. Haq spoke often about guns and politics, said Richey, and didn't like President Bush.
A law-enforcement source said Haq had a licence to carry a concealed weapon.
Attorney Larry Stephenson, who is representing Haq on a misdemeanor lewd conduct charge for allegedly exposing himself in a public place, said his client had been scheduled for trial last Thursday, but the action was postponed. Haq is not married, has no children and no job, Stephenson said.
Stephenson refused to disclose any mental-health issues his client might have. "I'm really not OK to discuss that," he said.
A hospital spokesman said five women were brought in, and three of them are in critical condition. Three are in their 20s, one is 19 and the other is 43. The 43-year-old was shot in the abdomen. One of the victims is in her 17th week of pregnancy.
A joint terrorism task force joined SWAT teams and a bomb disposal unit at the scene.
"Throughout the city, we have directed all our patrol officers to monitor closely all synagogues and other Jewish organizations, and we have also advised neighboring agencies in the Puget Sound area to do the same," said Nick Metz, Seattle Police Department.
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."
The FBI has labeled the shootings a "hate crime" based on what the gunman told police in a 911 call, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported.

Amen! You state the absolute truth!
LLS
Get them out of here.
Ditto that. We don't have the time or manpower to be picky.
Thanks for posting. WELCOME ABOARD!
"Haq had a licence to carry a concealed weapon."
Funny, I haven't seen that mentioned in the MSM reports I've seen so far...
The police in this country are not here to protect, they are here for cleanup.
Seattle....D.C. Sniper country if I remember correctly.

When Naveed Haq graduated from Richland High School in 1994, his yearbook photo revealed a big smile, friendly eyes, buttoned-down collar and smart tie. "Peace Be Unto You" were the words that appeared with his name and picture. Other students said that image and message fit the young man.
"He was a pretty calm, collected, happy guy," said Talon Wiser, a Richland man who had English classes with Haq. "I've never seen the guy get mad at anybody."
Twelve years later, Haq left a darker impression. In March of this year, he climbed up on a raised coin fountain inside Kennewick's Columbia Center mall and began "catcalling" women at the makeup counter at the nearby Macy's store, said Lisa Beaton, a Kennewick city prosecutor. When young women walked by his perch, Haq unzipped his pants and allegedly flashed his penis at them, Beaton said.
Haq, 30, was charged with lewd conduct a gross misdemeanor and was scheduled to stand trial in Benton County District Court on Thursday. But the trial was postponed, said Haq's attorney, Larry Stephenson, because Stephenson had to try a different case in another courtroom.
In high school, Haq struck classmates as pretty middle of the road: not outgoing but not reclusive, smart but not brilliant, small of stature and not terribly athletic. Despite his family's long-standing involvement in the Muslim faith his father helped found Richland's Islamic Center in 1981 Haq didn't make a show of his religion.
"He was never up front about his faith or religion," said Andres Atencio, who has known Haq since sixth grade. --EXCERPTED--
""I am a Muslim American, angry at Israel.""
naveed haq----PISS BE ONTO YOU!
"has a charge of lewd conduct pending against him in Benton County, Washington."
Yup. He's Muslim alright.
Islam is a religion of "violins".
"In high school, Haq struck classmates as pretty middle of the road: not outgoing but not reclusive, smart but not brilliant, small of stature and not terribly athletic.

Forget about the extremists, this guy shows that the "average Muslim" is a terrorist.
Interesting, Lewd conduct charge...FIVE of the victims were
women and yet he shot at "random"?
And what about the dead person, no name or gender mentioned,
odd.
If the FBI believes he acted alone, they are NUTS. And irrelevant. Thank GOD for the blogs -- the Truth will set you free.
You gotta lay off the drugs...They apparently fried half your brain already...
If you can read, you will know that the 'religion of peace' is a figment of the imagination of the 'White House'...If you feel the need to insult someone, direct it where it belongs...
