Merced Couty Sheriff Vern Warnke confirmed the identity of the 18-year-old student to the Sun-Star early Thursday.

Sheriff confirms identity as 18-year-old Faisal Mohammad. As the mother of a UC student, the police did the right thing.

And, now we know why the identity of the attacker was not released for 24-hours.

Feds scrubbing social media sites again...

In other words, one of Obama’s Amish sons

identified as Faisal Mohammad, a freshman student from Santa Clara.

Right. "Faisal" and "Mohammed" are very common names for natives of Santa Clara...

[Sacajaweau]

Another son of Obama.

Faisal Mohammad

Well there's a surprise.

[Enterprise]

Well, I for one am shocked. Shocked I say!

[Iron Munro]

"Mohammad was shot and killed by UC Merced police just after 8 a.m. on Wednesday morning as he ran from the two-story classroom building where investigators said his violent spree began."

One less muslim terrorist wandering around among us.

‘Zactly.

He was a freshman. We need to prohibit freshman from all colleges immediately!

"Warnke said investigators, including the FBI, were still trying to determine the motive for Mohammad’s attack,..."

I've got money that says they will never be able to piece together a motive. When your first step is to preclude the possibility of the obvious, only a vacuum remains.

Faisal Mohammad. I’m sure they’re looking for his “Tea Party” connections as we speak. What else is there to say? The enemy isn’t on our doorstep. They’ve already settled in.

Diversity is our strength. And by the way one of the people he stabbed was a female. War on women and all that.

[Neoliberalnot]

Yep, we were predicting a hidden agenda last night during a family discussion.

[Leaning Right]

Were the victims Jewish, or just random? Because if they were just random, it’s not a DOJ “hate crime”. But if they were Jewish, then...well, it’s still not a DOJ hate crime.

[Thank You Rush]

Looks like I’ll get the link to come up by midnight. Hadn’t heard about this. Don’t know why I need to read any more than what was at the excerpt. We don’t need “no stinkin’ motive”.. We are grownups and we know the game! Good shooting for campus law enforcement. I’m surprised for a CA campus to have them armed..

[SteveinSATX]

I’m sure he will be described as last seen waving a dixie flag and outed as a card-carrying tea party member

Marissa Reyes - California State University, Northridge If all of you would stop with your backwards Central Valley prejudice for three seconds, geez. According to students on campus, this student was NOT Muslim, he was Sikh. You all are so quick to assume, yet know absolutely nothing. Think critically for once.

This is one of the comments on the original article. Given the stabber's name and actions, I find the Sikh claim very hard to believe.

[Perseverando]

Just doing the job that American college students are too lazy to do. Lazy infidels! </sarc>

Is anybody really surprised?

I had forgotten that there even was an attack yesterday.
