I thought NYC was a gun-free zone?

Prayers for the victims.

The problem for Big Media and the Hussein Heads is that the shooters are leftist freaks and Big Media has to hush up asap afterwards.

“Shooter was shooting in all directions. Two crime scenes. ????”

Maybe Hussein’s gestapo are getting smarter and the shooter’s handler is taking the shooter down sooner.

Big Media only reports what Hussein’s SS tell them to.

A witness tells FOX 5 News the gunman opened fire "indiscriminately." The witness told Good Day NY another woman standing next to her was shot in the leg.

White males rob too, so, if this is a robbery, I’m not as ‘alerted’ to a ‘planned crisis’.

You might want to just hold that comment in reserve before you rescind it.

2 people dead, 1 critical so far.
Nypd is now saying it is not known whether it was robbery or act of terrorism.

Hmm

“This was not related to terrorism.” “It is not yet known whether this is terror-related”. Perhaps a slight paraphrase, but both statements within a few minutes of each other (and in that order) just now.

Ok. Reserving judgement. If dude used an evil ‘assault rifle’ this is a caused-crisis.
