Update:

SEATTLE – At least two people have been shot at the Jewish Federation at 2031 Third Ave. in downtown Seattle. One or two people have been taken into custody but it's not known if they are suspects.

One person was reportedly shot in the abdomen and another in the arm. They are being taken to Harborview Medical Center.

Part of Third Avenue and Second Avenue have been closed to traffic. Police are urging people to stay away from the area. It's not known if more suspects are at large but policemen were seen handcuffing one person and others were searching the area.

At least three people were seen emerging from the building, escorted by police. It's not know if they were hostages.

Medics, escorted by police, have been taking other people from the building.

More to come.

One thing about my little 9mm popgun -- the ammo is cheap since every military in the world, practically, uses it. They make a whole lot of it.

used the meat saw to cut off his hand "for Allah."

Damn. WTF is wrong with these people? What kind of religion is this? (rhetorical question)

A gunman killed at least one and injured five others in a Jewish center in Seattle today, and local reports say he did it for political purposes.

Well there it is, it is officially terrorism. There is no way that the officials can deny it now.

"..activities that involve violent... or life-threatening acts... that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State and... appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and ...(if domestic)...(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States...(if international)...(C) occur primarily outside the territorial jurisdiction of the United States..."

give it till tomorrow - it will be "interpreted" in a very politically correct way so as not to offend the Muslim community = just wait and see

Absolutely. The news room editors, print editors, CAIR, DNC, etc are all faxing their talking points to each other right now to coordinate tactics.

Or Richard Reid, the LONE SHOE BOMBER. I would suspect the anthrax murderer, who has never been caught five years after the fact, is a lone culprit, too.

Wrong. Jews don't dream of obliterating arabs.

Glad to hear you and yours are OK. We need every Freeper in the Great Northwest...

From my friend Steve Beren, who is running against Jim McDermott, one the eight dissenting voices in the US House who refused to support Israel:

Murder in Seattle: Statement by Steve Beren
Statement by Steve Beren on today's shooting at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle:

"Murder. Murder just a few blocks from my downtown office. A brutal shooting with a clear intent and motive to kill Jewish people. One woman dead, five injured. The killer said he was a 'Muslim' who is 'angry.'

"Hezbollah and Hamas launch terrorist attacks on Israel, and the Iranian dictators threaten to 'wipe Israel off the map.' Terrorism is real, hatred against Jews is real, the war is real.

"All of Seattle, regardless of politics, religion, or ethnicity,must join in condemning this outrage. We must stand with the Jewish people against violence and hatred."

Oh...how disgusting....but, at least it was his own hand. Maybe next time it will be his own head.

Sorry..no sympathy tonight.

Thanks - I always forget to look there

Does the Rabbi know what the world is like?

Maybe next time it will be his own head.

Hahaha. We can only hope.
