At approximately 8:36 a.m. a male identified as Cody Nathaniel Willcoxon was seen at the entrance gate at Fort Leonard Wood with an AK-47. After being questioned by FLW Military Police the suspect fled the scene, and was pursued by members of the Pulaski County Sheriff's Dept. and St. Robert Police Department in a silver passenger car. The suspect then began to shoot at the pursuing officers, and he headed east on I-44. Spike strips were set up on I-44 which resulted in the suspect exiting at the Rolla 184 Exit. The Suspect then began shooting at Rolla Police Officers and members of the Phelps County Sheriff's Dept. as they pursued him. The suspect then drove through several areas in Rolla where he continued shooting at officers. The suspect vehicle stopped near McNutt Hall at Missouri University of Science and Technology near University Drive/Hwy 63. The suspect fled from his vehicle on foot with a long rifle. A perimeter was established by Law Enforcement Officers around McNutt Hall and the building was cleared by law enforcement officers.

Several minutes later the suspect broke into an occupied residence in the 1000 block of Crinoidal Ct. The suspect demanded the keys to the resident's car and stole it. He later fled the scene in the stolen car and since that time neither he nor the car has been located. The stolen car is identified as:

Once it was determined that the perp was white without an Islamic surname, Eric Holder and Obama recalled the team of lawyers that was dispatched to ensure his ‘rights’ were protected.

My kids did basic there. They are pissed they can’t use their training to defend America. What a joke everything is. If Obama wins in 2012, our country is toast, put a fork it in. Then, all bets are off. Gloves are off. We’ll be beyond Galt.

I’m completely ready for the next revolution. We’re at the breaking point.

Not even with the little comic flags that hang out of the barrel of the dummy guns and read “BANG”?

To be fair, it is the Defense Language Institute so they have harsh words in any number of languages at their disposal for defense.

It’s Janet Nepalincompatano’s dream come true.

THIS is Janet's dream
so she can impose even more draconian security and infringements.

What happens when an authorized truck drives near a military facility with lots of troops.

Ban individual and police from having Firearms.

Yeah, yeah! Score one for the progressive thinking dem”O”lemmings.

A prime example of what that dolt Obama and the liberals like Pelosi and Feinstein want. Only the bad guys should have guns, not the mean racist police or the vicious military. Oh No! Vote Obama in 2012 and so he can complete the disaster he and the other whacko’s started.

“If you voted for Obama in 2008 to show the world that you are not a racist, then you're going to have to vote for someone else in 2012 to show the world that you aren't a total idiot.”

They could have offered him a Twinkee or a Snickers bar, mabye asked him to share peanuts and a beer. That’s what Obama would have done. Obama knows best.

no matter how many times I see the “Journalist Guide to Firearms Identification” it cracks me up that the actual AK is listed as an M-16... :-D

Is there a corresponding properly-labeled diagram for those Freepers who want to improve their firearms identification skills?

First one is the AK-47.
Last one is a car. :)

Don’t know exactly about the others.
