The Masked Tulip Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 Basically, there was shooter 1 then after he was apprehended the all clear was given. Then a second shooter began firing. Foxnews reporting that this is standard terrorism tactic in ME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could just be panic - someone saw something or misheard a bang and reported it to Police so they have to investigate. On the other hand... There is a photo of the alleged gunman being arrested online - the guy is in a blue t-shirt and has a beard. He looks ME to me and not hispanic. His t-shirt also does not appear to be a Star Wars one that everyone has been reporting. So the photo of the guy being arrested could be the shooter or could be someone entirely innocent. A US senator was very quick to give the name of an hispanic person and that quickly echoed around the media. I wonder how much truth there is in that name being the name of the shooter.

This time Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Wouldn't be the first time they've said a terrorist was hispanic and he turned out to be muslim - the Cascade Mall shooting was one recent case. I don't know why they bother, they're just going to piss people off with this sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd target for a terrorist gun attack if you're looking to cause mass casualties, the security presence is going to shut you down PDQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he fired 3 magazines and then that was it. If he did then 5 dead and 8 others shot, whilst terrible, is not that many considering the number of bullets he had and the sheer volume of people as targets.

Alternatively - high profile and the locals aren't tooled up as they are every where else in the us. Just take out the guards then help yourself ...

Depends upon the weapon and its capacity, 3 magazines could be anything from 20 rounds to 90, 13 casualties from the former would be unusually high, from the latter mercifully low. From the looks of it he was armed with a handgun of some sort, possibly a fairly low capacity one, this doesn't on the face of it look like a terrorist incident.

reddog Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Seems a bit of an odd case. Apparently he had his gun as checked luggage, retrieved it, took it to the toilets to load, then ran ammoc. It seems like odd behaviour for both a terrorist and a mad man. TMT glad you are offering us a free liveticker service. National newspapers are paying people to do the same thing!!

Was listening to journos on various news stations being paid shedloads of money to get most of their info free from people on mobiles or from twitter.

Agentimmo Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Appears to be a "nutter". Allegedly was acting loopy at an FBI bureau in Alaska a few months ago. Was allowed to keep his gun license and travel with it, having declared it before boarding (it was in his hold luggage ). Gotta love those US gun laws.....?

I remember being astounded in San Antonio airport (admittedly pre 911) by the sign saying 'all guns must be unloaded' as I went through security. I was even more astounded when I found out that they just needed to be unloaded -- you could have ammunition on you, just not actually in the gun. IIRC the ammunition was required to be stored in the same case as the gun...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
