A gunman shouting "Allahu Akbar" opened fire on a bus carrying U.S. airmen in Frankfurt, Germany, killing two and wounding two others before his gun jammed and he was subdued, officials said.
An ethnic Albanian from Kosovo was taken into custody and the FBI was heading an investigation because U.S. citizens were killed and to determine whether the shooting was an act of terrorism.
President Obama made an unscheduled appearance to say, "I am saddened and I am outraged by this attack" and U.S. investigators would work with German authorities and "spare no effort" to ensure that "all of the perpetrators are brought to justice."
He added that the killings were a "stark reminder of the extraordinary sacrifices" of American servicemembers.
Sources told ABC News that the victims were on a bus at Frankfurt airport. The bus was marked United States Air Force and was carrying 13 or 14 people, plus the driver. U.S. intelligence is trying to determine whether the shooting occurred while the gunman was on the bus or while he was trying to board the bus.
When he opened fire, the gunman, identified as a long-term resident of Germany, shouted "Allahu Akbar," according to sources. He fired nine times, killling two and critically wounding two others before the gun jammed and he was subdued by other passengers. While being wrestled into submission, the suspect shouted either "Jihad Jihad" or "Allahu Akbar," sources said.

Why would you wonder? Obama lies about everything imaginable, especially his Muzy roots.
The good Nazis are dead, the bad ones soon to be.
Could this also apply to....
“Can someone please translate “Allahu Akbar” for me”
It means, “You stepped in it. You clean it!”
Another crazy Norwegian Presbyterian no doubt
It means I think Allah stole my candy bar ...
In Germany, we’ll be lucky if he gets 10 years in jail and serves 5. Damn shame.
Fox News has committed a major error. The guy shouted “Allah is great” in Arabic. He did NOT shout “God is great” in any language. It is blasphemous to equate the deity “allah” with the One True God.
Of course, the media’s reaction: “He acted alone—NO OUTSIDE HELP WHATSOEVER.” Never mind that they’re programmed FROM BIRTH to be this way.
As Hillery once Quipped about her opponeb=nt for Pres: “I don’t know that he is a Muslim”.
Hmmmm. Can't quite figure out whether this is terrorism or not. If only there was some sort of phrase the terrorists used so we could know.
