Okay, FRiends, let's review the vital data:

A NYC Councilman has been confirmed dead from two shots to the chest;

A second person has also been killed;

The perp is possibly a black or Hispanic, reportedly wearing blue, reportedly wounded and has reportedly escaped the grounds;

NYC Mayor Bloomberg was not injurd and was in no apparent danger, but made a bone-head, but chilling remark into the mics ("It's not terror, it's democracy");

Does anyone suspect, along with me, that this was a targeted shooting - an assassination?

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Bingo... how could it be anything but an assassination?

I'm right there with you Sarge..

Does anyone suspect, along with me, that this was a targeted shooting - an assassination?

I would even consider that it was personal!

A second person has also been killed;

Has that been confirmed?

[GovernmentShrinker]

Reports have Bloomberg saying it wasn't terrorism, but was "an attack on democracy" -- a remark which is neither chilling nor bone-headed.

Any word on how far the shooter was from Davis? Apparently Davis was struck twice in the chest. A person using a pistol would have to be a pretty good shot, I would think.

Yep.
