ALTOONA, Pa. (AP) — A man was charged with shooting and killing the owner, a bouncer and a patron of an after-hours club where he was denied admission early Sunday. Miguel Padilla was being held without bond in the Blair County Jail after his arraignment on three counts of criminal homicide in the shootings at the United Veterans Association Club, authorities said.

All three men were pronounced dead at the scene and Padilla, described by police as an illegal immigrant, was arrested there shortly after the shooting, police said.

A relative to one of the dead called Sean Hannity's radio show earlier about this story. Tom Tancredo was just on Howie Carr's show, too, though I didn't hear them discuss this murder.

"an illegal immigrant"

ACLU to the rescue?

[mtbopfuyn]

Now how did I know he'd turn out to be an illegal? The LE will get in trouble for arresting him.

[GladesGuru]

That LEO should have known that Padilla was just doing the killing that Americans wouldn't.

[luvbach1]

I was about to ask. Killing that Americans are not willing to do.

Padilla will have to get out on bail very quickly or else the drug business of El Presidente Fox and his wife in central Pennsylvania will suffer.

I do hope there is a log/register somewhere of all these crimes by wetbacks. Every time a bleeding heart talks about the ccobtibution of Mexican illegals, I'd like to counter with facts.

Gơd name, Padilla.

Illegal immigrants have killed more Americans since 911 than the terrorists did on that date.

I do hope there is a log/register somewhere of all these crimes ...

BTW, please do not use disparaging terms about illegals. It allows people to paint you as racist and taint any logical discussion of the problems caused by illegal immigration with the same brush. Besides which there are much more than Mexican illegals in this country. I asked an immigration attorney in San Francisco once what were the next largest groups of illegals in that city and he said Canadian and Irish. I have no problem with Mexican. I have no problems with legal immigrants. If they entered without inspection (which is the actual name of the criminal act they commit) or they overstay their visa I want them tracked down, tossed out, not allowed back in and their employer hit with attention getting fines.

"illegal immigrant" ???

No, he is just an undocumented firearms owner.

[anti-infidel]

This SOB Padilla should be executed ASAP. Pure and simple. Why in the world do these people come here and kill legal citizens...i cannot understand.

[NorthernTraveler]

The interesting thing is is that in Mexico there are very strict firearms laws....

It seems the government down there doesn't want any uprisings in it's own backyard.

I dont doubt you arent correct, but I would like to see some documentation. I would like to use that line but ithas to be correct.

Besides which there are much more than Mexican illegals in this country. I asked an immigration attorney in San Francisco once what were the next largest groups of illegals in that city and he said Canadian and Irish.

For the entire United States, Canada is #15 in illegal immigrants and Ireland doesn't make this chart. This is from year 2000 but I doubt things have changed.

Mexico and Central America top the chart with China #6 in illegal immigrants

It appears to me that getting true statistics on illegal immigrant crime for our country is one of the best kept secrets in the US, but read this and weep.

"There are over 4,000 murder warrants out, just in the border states, for people who've committed murder and fled to Mexico. "

Above from AZ Representative Russell Pearce in: http://www.phxnews.com/fullstory.php?article=24206

I also found this tid bit just for L.A. in 2004, -- "In Los Angeles, 95 percent of all outstanding warrants for homicide in the first half of 2004 (which totaled 1,200 to 1,500) targeted illegal aliens. Up to two-thirds of all fugitive felony warrants (17,000) were for illegal aliens.. "
