Active shooter in Colorado Springs

[Gonad the Barbarian]

Also confirmed this didn't involve a bank or any other nearby buildings. And he brought duffle bags into the PP building and there are "devices" in and around the building.

Reports are he brought in propane tanks and if this is true then this is definitely a terrorist act. It's still not clear what the motives are but the location would certainly suggest anti abortion affiliation.

Five hours in and we still know very little with certainty.

Five hours in and we still know very little with certainty.

And that certainly won't stop the 24 hour news networks from continuous coverage filled with speculation and awkward conversation.

Another terrorist attack on our own soil! Damn you Obama!! Why can't you keep us safe from these damn terrorists!

If this is another attack because of their damn religion then I suggest we start requiring a way to track these bastards and create a database! If that doesn't stop them then I say we kick them out of this country and send them back to where they came from!

 

[Bubbleawsome]

Suspect in custody, sounds like he surrendered.

Suspicious items being investigated by robots. Someone is down in the reception area.

good news

 

[Bubbleawsome]

Police are going through the building, using the PA to announce where they are going to let people out. Otherwise people are still sheltering in place.

"Abortion is bad - so let's kill people and blow stuff up"...

Makes LOTS of sense....

To be totally fair we don't know exactly what happened yet.

What would you do to stop mass murder?
It is viewed as such, and thus justifies all sorts of extreme action.

 

[Bubbleawsome]

11 people injured.

That view justifies absolutely nothing.

 

[Bubbleawsome]

That view justifies absolutely nothing.

It explains it though, does it not?

Remember, we have no idea who the shooter was.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

It explains it though, does it not?

There's a large divide between motive, and justification.

Poster of "peace".

You need to become more aware of what you post; you sound like a terrorist.

 

[Gonad the Barbarian]

There's a large divide between motive, and justification.

Not to the people who act on it.

 

[mizzou]

Surrendering? That seems odd. These don't usually end like that.

Actually they do. They're not generally suicidal. It's against their religion.

Says a terrorist sympathizer.

I suspect this didn't go down like he expected. Maybe was just planning on blowing it up or something, but not dying. Once trapped inside he chose to live rather than completing his goal. We'll eventually find out though.

I think Homeland Security and the FBI might be interested in your identity.

So, you disagree with abortion and feel you're justified in committing and act of terrorism to stop it? I'm no fan of abortion, but supporting the violent acts of guys like this is absolutely no different, no different at all, then the Muslims around the world that agree with the motives even if they disagree with the actions of Islamic terrorists.

If you ask me there is no difference at all between the Paris terrorists and this guy -- they're both terrorists. And that's what we need to do, we need to start calling these guys "anti-abortion terrorists"!

No reason police should have MRAP's, though.

*shrug*

Anyway, I feel like a buzzard watching it, turning it off awhile.

Because there are so many landmine and IED threats in the US that dictate thousands upon thousands of PDs should have more .mil equipment....
