NYPD Cop Attacked With Hatchet, Suspect Shot Dead
NBC News ^ | 10/23/14 | RICHARD ESPOSITO

Posted on 10/23/2014 4:08:32 PM PDT by lulu16

A rookie police officer was struck in the head by a man wielding a hatchet in the New York City borough of Queens Thursday, in an assault that has police checking for any ties to terror organizations or whether the attack could have been inspired by Wednesday’s lone-wolf attack in Canada.

Police opened fire, killing the suspect and wounding a woman who was nearby, according to officials. The officer survived the attack. A second police officer was struck with the hatchet in the arm and is also being treated. The name of the suspect was not immediately released.

The 2 p.m. apparently unprovoked attack occurred as four police officers were posing for pictures with a bystander when the suspect charged the group, swinging a hatchet with a four-and-a-half-inch blade, officials said. He struck one officer in the arm and another in the head before two officers drew their weapons and opened fire as he swung the hatchet a third time, officials said.

Riddle: What does BO have in common with the jihadist in Ottawa and the hatchet jobber in Queens?

Answer: BO had a history of drug use and he also went to Columbia.

Is a profile forming for terrorist against our country?

Just tell me his name, and then we will know whether he was insane or muslim. But I repeat myself.

OK, he hasn’t changed his name, but we know his motivation.

Nah. Just another case of an average American going street-place violent.

But the look is pure hirsute jihadist. And the hoody is very Trayvon, replete with hoodie.

I'm thinking that English is a second language with many of these "reporters" and that accounts for a lot of the sentence condestruction.
