I’ve seen that in every industry and walk of life. Whether it be financial, military, Government, CATHOLIC PRIESTHOOD. They are all pack mentalities.

Shirley, there's a perfectly good reason for the shooter's name/photo/info still not having been released !

I'll take 'Protected Classes' for $1,000, Alex

The subject of the initial arrest warrant, from WGAL News via google image search:

UPDATE: The man who shot and killed a deputy U.S. marshal and wounded a York officer Thursday morning has been identified as Kevin Sturgis, 31, of Philadelphia. Sturgis was killed in a shootout with officers.

Shooter ID’d.

I’m wondering if 7 LEOs were sent not because of the female perp, but because LE was worried about the neighborhood.

And how come the house wasn’t secured, especially since they were there to arrest someone for a weapons charge.

[tomkat]

Thanks for that.

Reported locally but if the terrorist attack was reported by the msm it was brief, here and gone.

Did they all report it truthfully; ABC,CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC?

[Salvation]

Prayers for these officers and for their families too.

>>Unfortunately not surprising. Harrisburg is a s***hole and gets worse every year.<<

I think most people are sadly aware that literally hundreds of towns and cities all across this country have become dangerous, crime-infested hellholes which should be avoided like the plague. What many of them do not know is that most of those hellholes have been governed by Democrats for decades.

Good question that I missed.

For all the criticism of the MSM - its odd how we seek validation from seeing a story covered by them.

Strangely - the local media are the ones say “nutjob...no ties to terror” but the article on CNN says “Pennsylvania police shootings were ‘terror attack,’ DHS says”

Living right down the road - this wasn’t that big of a deal...and was over fast...but everybody knew for sure.

I don’t follow? - If you found it on WGAL then it has been released.

WGAL is channel 8, NBC - one of the bigger local affiliates in central PA.

I live here - they show mug shots of black people every day

I found the pic via a google image search, which listed the source as WGAL.
However, my browsers, for some unknown reason, wouldn't show the photo on the WGAL page.
The text of the stories was there, including that woman's name, but no photo.
Hence my 'not verified' disclaimer.

Anyone else curious about the number of and skill sets of the number of LEOs sent to pick up one short, fat 30 YO female on an alleged weapons beef? Is that usual practice? Multiple LEOs to serve and/or arrest is a good idea anymore, but this kind of manpower? Does the makeup and number of the team suggest anything?

ps:
When I posted #122 above, the name of the woman who was the subject of the warrant had been released, but NOT the name of the shooter.

[airborne]

I saw pictures of both on the local news last night (WGAL) and both are black.

She threatened someone with a gun who had asked her to move her car.

He has several felony warrants that are gun related.

I live 30 miles from Harrisburg and I avoid it like the plague.

[tomkat]

Guessing: had to do with cross juridictional lines of the warrant/s ?

Actually, I've not followed the story much since the FISA/Qanon stuff started coming out yesterday afternoon.

[tomkat]

Thanks for that update, airborne .. she sounds like a real peach.

I lived in and near H'burg for a few years back in the mid 80s, and it was already headed to hell.
Can only imagine it's devolved much further by now.
Only recent brushes with the place have been several trips to the airport with NO stops en route.

[mewzilla]

Good thought and could easily explain the number of departments involved. But not the skill sets.
