On Tuesday, The Blaze posted extensive reports on the mass shootings in both Nevada and West Virginia. Both stories involved elements regarding the U.S. military. In Nevada, of course, many of the victims were in the National Guard. The gunman’s motives, though, are still not entirely clear. The shooter in West Virginia, who killed five people (and also an unborn fetus) in one home, seemed to voice a variety of grievances including some anger at having been rejected for military service. Shayne Riggleman’s murderous actions are getting a great deal of media attention; however, few media outlets are including Riggleman’s...

Accused Oxford High School shooter Ethan Crumbley was hauled into the school with his parents over his “behavior in the classroom” just hours before the deadly rampage. After first being talked to by school officials on Monday, Crumbley and his parents were hauled into the school Tuesday to meet with administrators, a short time before he allegedly committed the shootings that left four students dead and seven others wounded, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said Wednesday. “We also were told that the school had some information or some kind of contact with the school,” Bouchard said at a press briefing.

Contents of would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks' primary cell phone has become a key focus of the probe. While Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle frustrated lawmakers Monday with sparse details about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, the FBI has disclosed to Congress that the shooter used three encrypted communications apps ostensibly tied to Germany, Brussels and New Zealand and also possessed an arrest photo of an earlier Michigan school shooter, Just the News has confirmed. In multiple briefings, FBI leaders told lawmakers that the 20-year-old would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks’ primary cell phone has become an important focal point...

The AR-15-toting female who opened fire on worshippers at Lakewood Church in Houston on Sunday before she was killed by two off-duty law enforcement officers used a male name, making her one of several gender-confused shooters in recent years. After what Houston Police Department Homicide Division Commander Chris Hassig called a rigorous investigation “talking with individuals” conducting “interviews” and scanning “documents,” the department confirmed that 36-year-old Genesse Ivonne Moreno is a Hispanic woman who sometimes masqueraded as “Jeffrey Escalante.” It's still unclear exactly why Moreno, who had a long rap sheet and, according to Moreno’s anti-Second Amendment mother-in-law, a history...

Last week, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) apprehended a would-be "transgender" shooter who wanted to mass murder "transphobes." However, the FBI didn't swiftly nab the gunman until discovering months later that the "indigenous" suspect, a self-described "Nazi dominatrix," was posting racist, antisemitic content on social media vilifying blacks, Jews, and immigrants. The few media outlets that did cover the arrest also opted to focus on the Nazi flag-waving suspect's white nationalist ideology and downplay his "trans"-fueled bloodlust. Both The Oregonian and CourtWatch referred to the "transgender" as an "Oregon woman." Elizabeth Ballesteros West, formerly Francisco Frank Paramo, of Cottage...

The mass shooter at Perry High has been identified as Dylan Butler. It appears that the shooter was an online LGBTQ activist & part of the community.

A report from the Guardian notes that police indicated that the Prague mass shooter “legally owned multiple firearms.” This means he complied with the Czech Republic’s myriad gun controls, including the acquisition of a gun license, which requires passage of a mental and criminal history background check and a demonstration of good cause for owning a gun. Other gun controls pertinent to legal gun ownership in the Czech Republic include passing a gun safety test, storing the gun according to regulations, and registering the weapon with the “regulating authority,” according to the University of Sydney’s Gun Policy Center.

In a new video message released on the internet Friday, American-born al Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn calls on Muslims living in America to carry out deadly one-man terrorist acts using fully automatic weapons purchased at gun shows, and to target major institutions and public figures. "What are you waiting for?" asks Gadahn in English, and then adds that jihadis shouldn't worry about getting caught, since so many have been released. "Over these past few years, I've seen the release of many, many Mujahideen whom I had never even dreamed would regain their freedom." The two-part, two hour video appeared on...

The Department of Justice and FBI pride themselves on being the top federal agencies to investigate and prosecute the perpetrators of hate crimes. Their zeal for tracking down racists and targeting Americans based on fabricated white supremacy allegations apparently stops, however, when it comes to classifying the type of anti-white crimes that occurred at Covenant School earlier this year.On March 27, 2023, Audrey Hale, a woman masquerading as a man, shot and killed three children and three staff at a Christian grade school before local police took her out.Even though the ambush bore several telltale signs of a hate crime,...

Officials are working to determine how long Robert Card had been deceased The Maine Army Reservist who slaughtered 18 of his neighbors and wounded 13 others in a mass shooting Wednesday night has been found dead Friday — more than 48 hours after he inflicted carnage in Lewiston and sparked a massive manhunt in the peaceful New England state. Robert Card II is believed to have died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities announced at a press conference Friday night. Officials did not provide many details on the circumstances that led to the discovery of his body in the nearby...

“Democracy Dies in Darkness” is the (sometimes ironic) slogan of The Washington Post. But it’s also a fair description of what’s happening in Tennessee, as the state Legislature is being called to a special session even as local and federal officials withhold information that might be critical to its decision-making. Gov. Bill Lee ordered the special session to begin Aug. 21 in response to a March 27 mass shooting in which three adults and three children at the Covenant School, a Christian school in Nashville’s Green Hills neighborhood, were killed. The Nashville Tennessean article refers only to “a shooter.” The...

. Where’s the Nashville Shooter’s Manifesto? The one the FBi didn’t want to be released?

Every time there’s a mass shooting, there always seems to be this political crush to immediately politicize it to make it serve whatever the narrative is that people want to push.It seems like there’s always a combing through of the shooter’s social media interactions to try to pin the shooting on a side. And whatever the background, the anti-gun folks on the left make it a staple to attack the guns, not the shooters who just opened fire on people.The mass shooter who shot and killed five people in Philadelphia on Monday — Independence Day eve — has been identified...

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that at least 8 people died Saturday, including the shooter, following a mass shooting at the Allen Premium Outlet mall in Allen, Texas. The mainstream media is desperate to pin the tragedy by an Hispanic sociopath on “white supremacy.” The Gateway Pundit reported the feds are allegedly investigating whether shooter Mauricio Garcia expressed interest in white supremacy. Over the weekend, The Washington Post even floated the idea that the Hispanic shooter may have had ‘Neo-Nazi’ beliefs. In a concerning move, the Deep State is building the narrative of Hispanic shooter Garcia being a neo-Nazi white...

A short time back, our editor-in-chief said that there had been a school shooting in Nashville, and asked if anyone would cover it. I wrote the first story about it for PJ Media. It wasn’t the first time I had ever written about human tragedy or cruelty. And I have hated doing it every time. I always feel like Judas collecting his 30 pieces of silver from someone else’s suffering. Be that as it may, the Nashville shooting mattered, and not just because it gave the Left more talking points about the evils of gun ownership. After all, if we...

DADEVILLE, Ala. (WRBL) – A gathering turned deadly in downtown Dadeville early Sunday morning as a shooting left more than 20 people injured according to law enforcement on the scene. We do not know if a person(s) of interest or suspect(s) is in custody. We cannot confirm how many have died at this hour. Crime scene tape surrounds a building on N. Broadnax Street next to the PNC Bank. A tarp hangs over the glass front door and white sheets can be seen inside covering the floor. Several yellow police placards litter the front sidewalk. Investigators report a suspected altercation...

Two thirds of US voters say they want Nashville police to release the manifesto of transgender school shooter Audrey Hale — a sign of growing frustration with the investigation into the deadly attack two weeks ago. Americans by wide margins want to see the screed, which many believe will reveal an agenda of violent trans extremism, and equal numbers are concerned that Hale's attack will inspire more copycat strikes on Christian schools, pollsters found. The Rasmussen Reports survey heaps pressure on Nashville cops to release Hale's writings, even as officials backtrack on claims she left behind a manifesto, and say...

William Whitworth, a 19-year-old male who claims to be female and goes by the name “Lilly,” has been arrested in Colorado Springs, Colo., after threatening various local schools. Whitworth has been charged with two counts of criminal attempt to commit murder in the first degree, as well as criminal mischief, menacing, and more. His case, following so soon after Audrey Hale, a woman claiming to be male, murdered six people at a Christian school in Nashville, once again raises the question: wouldn’t we be better off treating this “transgender” business as mental illness rather than coddling and celebrating people who...

Who knew a transgender mass shooter would spark two insurrections in Tennessee and Kentucky yesterday? Pro-gun control and trans rights activists gathered like the hordes of Mordor and stormed their respective state capitols. These actions were thought to have been verboten, the highest form of treason, given the nauseating coverage of the January 6 riot from the liberal press. We knew the Left would lose the moral high ground as if they ever occupied it on the issues, but for a second, on January 6, they did and lost it astonishingly fast. ... What is becoming eerie is how dedicated...

Usually, when we talk about cashless bail, we're talking about suspects who go on to commit murders after they're released — not the ones already accused of killing one innocent bystander and shooting six other people (including a child) in the downtown area of a major city during rush hour. But not in Seattle, where it looks like the judges let everyone out . Note that this is one case where the prosecutor at least tried to keep the accused perp in jail, which is more than you can say for a lot of jurisdictions nowadays : A King County...
