This should be ‘headline’ news.
They are saying on FNC that there may be more than one suspect. Federal building and nearby school evacuated. It may have started outside on the street, and ended up in the Lobby of the Federal Building.
*ping*
Bump for reference.
Prayers for the agents and their families
The People have reached their breaking point?
Now they’re saying it’s not Marshalls either, but agents with the “Federal Protective Service”.
Lotsa chaos. Not much good info, seems like.
Not an auspicious start of the new year for Vegas.
If the perps are white christian males look for congress to introduce gun control legislation by the end of the week.
WLS Radio just announced at the bottom of the hour news the suspect is dead.
I just had a weird thought.
Could you imagine 100 incidents like this? 50 of them at major airports, lets say.

I use the on line player and listen to “Fire and Police.”
Does the shooter have a good Middle Eastern surname?
Was he in possession of a prayer rug and a Quran?
