(08-29) 15:20 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- As many as 14 people were injured this afternoon by a motorist who drove around San Francisco running them down before he was arrested, authorities said.

Seven of those injured were in critical condition, police and firefighters said.

Authorities have identified the man who was arrested as Ohmeed Aziz Popal, who has an address in Ceres.

Authorities said they believe Popal was the same driver who ran over a 55-year-old man walking in a bicycle lane in Fremont, at Fremont Boulevard near Ferry Lane, just after noon. That victim died.

Popal was arrested at a Walgreens at Spruce and California streets.

44 Magnum, the "most powerful handgun in the world", which would "blow your head clean off". 300gr solids would penatrate several SUVs.

Lots of Afghanis in Fremont. Ceres, on the other hand, is out in the Central Valley. It is a suburb of Modesto

Yes, he evidently had a traffic infraction last year in Stanislaus County (Modesto).

I'm in the area today and have heard a few things on local radio and TV, starting after 3 pm, when I turned on the radio to find a police briefing.

• At one media source reported that this suspect did tell police something about being a terrorist.
• Of course, the obligatory official response swiftly ruled out terrorism.
• At least one media source reported two people hit in front of a Jewish Community Center. The address given (3200 California St.) places it at California and Presidio, within that zone on the map linked in this thread.

I gotta say that I am really fed up with the MSM and that counts Fox News...

All Hannity and Colmes have talked about is Katrina and that Karr/JonBenet Ramsey story!!!

NOTHING about this...and I also haven't heard any more today about the revelations about Armitage...screwing around with the lives of the Bush Administration...and the US voters...

PLUS, my stupid radio station took OFF John Gibson to put on that looney tune Michael Savage!!!

This stress is not doing my back any good....LOL

Well, he was in an SUV.

We just need to understand the "root causes" of "SUV violence." It's all the fault of drivers who do not use their SUVs to run over people. It is all because of America's "SUV culture" that such things happen.

Thank you for pinging me.

"This isn't on BREAKING NEWS on tv..because???"

It's not important.......

It's time for all of us to see the complaints from NO, not this less important stuff.

Thanks Claud.

Been trying to decide what tool to buy that could knock out an SUV driven by a Jihad Nazi boy.

If was good for Clint, its good for me. Its on my shopping list for this weekend.
