But that’s a Gun-Free Zone . . ???
News out of northern Delaware: a Wilmington police spokesman says three people were shot at the New Castle County Courthouse in Wilmington and a male suspect is in custody. According to police, two women and a man were shot early Monday and that the man was a security person. The condition of the three people who were shot is not yet known.
Here we go again? I hope not.

The LAPD on the hunt for Dorner in a Wilmington courthouse? - seems pretty far afield.
fyi -
The same WPVI never utter a peep about Dorner or his Manifesto.
You have to go through metal detectors to get into a DE Courthouse.
So, how did this happen?
An incident that plays into the hands of gun grabber Gov. Jack Markell, AG Beau Biden, and the Vice Nutcase Joe Biden.
Good thing there were good guys with guns around.
So, who had a divorce hearing there this morning?
I just can't think of his name right now. It was such a sad ending for this wonderful, brilliant gentleman.
Perhaps we will find that this is somehow connected and justice would finally be served.
Obama creates a government that ignores the law and does not enforce it equally. What happens when this has happened in the past?
People do it their own way.
Until all Governments (State & Fed) start respecting the law, and begin writing laws that respect the rights of the people, this will only get worse.
And it’s going to get a lot worse over the next 5 years.
We saw this stuff in the 90’s, but it will be worse this time.
Another liberal on drugs with a gun. Also another reason for the king to take our guns.
Prayers sent.
Obama’s plan continues apace.
I can’t believe that in the state of Delaware they allow guns inside courthouses. If only they were smart enough to have tougher gun control laws there.
I’ve been there more than once.
Thought courthouses had the airport-style metal detectors. If Wilmington had one, how did this one get through?
Judge Sentences Defendant David Matusiewicz to 48 Months Imprisonment on International Parental Kidnapping and Bank Fraud Counts
U.S. Attorneys Office
December 10, 2009 District of Delaware
(302) 573-6277
David C. Weiss, United States Attorney for the District of Delaware, announced that David Matusiewicz, age 42, formerly of Middletown, was sentenced today by United States District Court Chief Judge Gregory M. Sleet to 48 months of imprisonment and a five-year term of supervised release. Mr. Matusiewicz had previously pled guilty on September 3, 2009 to one count of bank fraud and one count of international parental kidnapping.
According to documents filed in court and statements made during the proceedings, in August 2007, Mr. Matusiewicz obtained a $249,000 home equity line of credit from WSFS Bank, a federally insured financial institution, through fraud. Mr. Matusiewicz was informed by the bank that both he and his ex-wife, C.M., were required to sign various closing documents in order for this line of credit to be approved by WSFS Bank. On August 15, 2007, Mr. Matusiewicz arranged to meet with a WSFS bank representative at Mr. Matusiewiczs office, in order to sign the closing documents. Mr. Matusiewicz did not tell the bank representative, who believed that the defendant and his ex-wife were still married, that the two were in fact divorced. Instead, Mr. Matusiewicz signed the closing documents and falsely and fraudulently indicated that C.M. was in another room at the office, when in fact C.M. was not present in the office that day. Mr. Matusiewicz then left the room, and later returned, presenting the bank representative with the closing documents, on which he had forged or caused to be forged C.M.s signature and initials. After obtaining the approximately $249,000 in funds regarding the home equity line of credit, Mr. Matusiewicz transferred those funds to an overseas bank account in New Zealand.
Days after committing the above-described fraud, Mr. Matusiewicz kidnapped his three children, L.M., L.M. and K.M. and removed them from the United States. Mr. Matusiewicz, along with his mother, traveled with the children in a motor home through Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua. Federal and State of Delaware law enforcement authorities, including the New Castle County Police Department, the United States Marshals Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Department of State, the United States Attorneys Office for the District of Delaware, the United States Department of Justices Office of International Affairs, and law enforcement officers in Australia, New Zealand and Nicaragua, then participated in a 19-month investigation to locate the defendant and his children and to investigate the defendants crimes.
In March 2009, deputy United States Marshals from the District of Delaware located and arrested the defendant in Nicaragua and reunited the children with their mother. Among other documents found on the defendants person or in the motor home at the time of his arrest were numerous false identification documents containing his and his childrens picturesincluding false Social Security cards and false passports.
United States Attorney David C. Weiss said: The Courts sentence of 48 months’ imprisonment recognizes the very serious nature of the defendants crimes. In defrauding WSFS Bank of nearly a quarter of a million dollars, the defendant caused significant financial harm to the bank and to his ex-wife. But by kidnapping his three children and in taking them across international borders, the defendant did even more long-lasting damagehe robbed the children of 19 months of a normal, healthy childhood and exposed them to continuing psychological harm. The courts significant sentence is also important, because it makes clear that the abduction of our childrenparticularly across international boarders that can be sometimes difficult for law enforcement to navigatebrings with it serious consequences in the federal criminal legal system.
The case was principally investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the New Castle County Police Department, and the United States Marshals Service. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Christopher J. Burke.

Biden says he witnessed the entire incident.
This could not have happened, the man accused of this was a convicted felon so obviously would never be able to illegally obtain a gun. /s
That said he was probably trying to get to Brazil when he was caught as they do not have any extradition treaty with the US although why he didn’t just fly there I’ll never know. Given the history I’d say that there was some serious anger between him and his ex-wife that needed to be resolved. Sounds like that happened so all is well ... NOT.
Another observation is that the Taliban/Al Q. typically use and initial bomb to attract more US forces to the site so that they can set off a second even larger bomb and kill even more US forces. Given what’s going on in LA the police should probably re-think their typical response of massive over-responding to any call involving cops/court houses/etc. as I can predict that this WILL be used against them in the future, just a matter of time.
