No reference to why the Mexican Consulate was notified, yesterday.

Ping to York County, PA shooting, follow-up.

[Jim W N]

No photos forthcoming. What does that tell you?

[bigdaddy45]

It’s almost assuredly a white guy. Especially with that name. What’s your point?

Press conference is at 3 PM.

He’s apparently a White guy.

Given the census data on the area, I’ll bet there were/are illegals in that employed by the locals.

The good news is, according to the DNC bogus propaganda “media” meatheads, crime is down. Except for the body count of cops murdered by DemonRAT murderers.

[Fiji Hill]

Hope he’s no relation to George Herman Ruth.

[bankwalker]

a white hispanic?

[Steve_Seattle]

There are suggestions that the shooting was related to the stalking of a woman in some sort of unwanted love quest. In other words, it does not seem to be political, but if the perp happened to vote for Trump, it will be classified as right-wing terrorism.

Is it very near the scene or something?

This appears to be a better article.

Go to the following page, and you’ll find 2 white guys and 1 black guy ID’d as the murderer. Other than I don’t really know, yet, but I’m guessing he wasn’t a Mexican. Doesn’t really matter, as he’s dead.

Three names, possibly trans.

[frank ballenger]

RE: names

Isn’t it odd that stories on suspect Ruth and indicted suspect Routh are in the news.

Supposedly Ruth came from Hebrew (as in the Book of Ruth) and Routh came from Old Norse “rough ground.”

Funny sidelight: Google first volunteered Ruth Bader Ginsberg when I started a search today.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

I’m sure there will be more details about this, but I still can’t figure out how one guy was able to shoot five police officers, who were supposedly prepared to serve a warrant on him.
