Reporters diving for cover at City Hall.

Shots are coming from second floor.

Othniel Bogz Askew is the 2nd victims name per WNBC.

as the day Bloomberg peed himself..

You mean he really peed himself, or just figuratively speaking?

Either way, what a weenie he is. I reach for the clicker when he comes on.

[Fitzcarraldo]

Heard that Askew was a candidate in the 29th?

[AppyPappy]

Davis is proud of forcing Norman (whom he calls a "sellout Negro politician")

Whoops...bad news

[Old Sarge]

9mm will get the job done, but I miss the old .45, myself.

So - new possibility is the shooter was an old district rival, who made it a murder-suicide?

This is getting a fluid as an NTC scenario...

[floriduh voter]

I was thinking about a love triangle scenario. Maybe female x dropped the shooter for a fling with Davis. Now Davis can't have her. Why hasn't anyone asked if he's an islamic fundamentalist yet?

THE SECOND PERSON HAS DIED TOO. PER NEIL CAVUTO.

[B Knotts]

This is getting confusing. So, maybe he didn't get away? Or maybe the guy he came in with wasn't the shooter after all?

[mware]

Curtis is indicating that they do, but is not saying any names for obvious legal reasons.

[Mo1]

FNC is reporting the second person shoot has died

[bedolido]

Pretty good shooting. I've never shot a 9mm but I doubt I could be accurate from 75 feet.

Hardly any kick when I shot my son's 9mm glock. 75' would be a good shot... but I thought the councilman was right in front of him (maybe I misread your postings).

[AppyPappy]

He reportedly ran against Davis

[Labyrinthos]

I think the point that is valid is that fewer perps would ~try~ to go into a public place shooting if they thought everyone in the room might be armed. It is the psychology of 'gun free zones'

I agree, although I don't think that would have made a difference with this particular crime.

[B Knotts]

No kidding; it's for real. But I don't mean to imply anything. I just thought it was kind of a bizarre coincidence.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Maybe that is why there is no BOLO. They know exactly who they are looking for, but don't want to clarify that during the search.

[Lee'sGhost]

Yeah, bizarre. He went postal.

[Djarum]

Cavuto just said some guns have very little metal and could go through a detector!

[Mo1]

Oh ok .. is there a link to Curtis on the net?

[Labyrinthos]

Know your load! Finding the right balance of penetration and expansion is the duty of every American. It's fun, too!

You and I know that, but you can't expect that sort of skill and precaution from a dense urban population who think Hillary Clinton is the most brilliant person who ever lived.
