The shooter at a New York City, New York, Christmas concert was an immigrant to the United States from the Dominican Republic who avoided deportation despite an extensive criminal record, officials confirm.

Luis Manuel Vasquez-Gomez, a 52-year-old native of the Dominican Republic who lived in the Bronx, opened fire on December 13 at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine following an outdoor Christmas concert on the steps of the church.

Vasquez-Gomez was met within five minutes by New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers who pleaded with him to drop his gun, though he refused. NYPD officers shot Vasquez-Gomez, and he was rushed to a hospital where he died.

This would be “a Georgia man” who has been parading back and forth on the USSC courthouse steps, with placards proving how he voted 3,262 times in Georgia.

But his first-hand evidence is ignored by the

- debauched
- degenerate
- depraved
- perverted
- sociopathic

JUDICIARY.

Just another case of imported people doing the jobs U.S. citizens won’t do.

opened fire on... an outdoor Christmas concert on the steps of the church. Vasquez-Gomez was met within five minutes by New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers who pleaded with him to drop his gun

When seconds count, police are just five minutes away, and when they get there, they will ask the shooter to please stop.

This story had the possibility of a major terror attack, with explosives and all.

But for what actually happened, he didn’t even shoot at anybody, he shot into the air. He seemed to want to die.
