One dead, at least five injured in shooting at Jewish Federation in Seattle
SEATTLE – One person has been killed and at least five others have been injured in a shooting at the Jewish Federation at 2031 Third Ave. in downtown Seattle. One suspect has been taken into custody....
Sources told KING 5 the suspect is a 31-year-old Pakistani man with a criminal background. He is from the Pasco but his citizenship status or how long he has lived in the United States is unknown. Also unknown is what sort of criminal record he has. Officials are on the way to the Pasco to interview his family....
According to the Seattle Times, a man got through security at the Jewish Federation and told staff members, "I'm a Muslim American; I'm angry at Israel," then began shooting, according to Amy Wasser-Simpson, the vice president for planning and community services for the Jewish Federation.
A Harborview Medical Center spokesperson said five women were brought in, and three of them are in critical condition. They have not yet been identified. Their ages are 23, 27, 29, 19 and 43. The 43-year-old woman was reportedly shot in the abdomen. Two vicitms were in satisfactory condition: a woman, who's 17 weeks pregnant whowas shot in the arm and another victim with a knee injury....
...It's not yet known if the incident is politically motivated. The Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle says on its Web site that its mission is to "ensure Jewish survival and enhance the quality of Jewish life locally, in Israel and worldwide."
...Iantha Sidell, past chairperson of the Jewish Federation Center, said: "We believe in life and it's hard to believe there will ever be peace when you're dealing with people who don't value life."

what's going on in Seattle? They've had a run of bizarre multiple murders lately.
Pakistani man shoots 6 Jews and this is stated in the news report?
Liberal media outlets are anti-american.
Er, um, did you check Breaking News?
Seattle is the serial killer capital of the world. There is ALWAYS something weird going on there.
I did, but there was no reason given, and I thought people should know.
The devil is seriously at work in Islam.
"It wasn't politically motivated!? Are they dense?"
Yes. It's Seattle.
Another human murdered by a muslim.
Lord God, our Creator, please comfort the families at this trying hour of their lives as they must cope with this senseless tragedy.
Largest collection of crazies in the country there.
Now, will these oh so lefty citizens get serious? Remember, when they refused to allow HSA to watch the ferries even though very suspicious activity was going on there?
F****** worthless sack of sh** needs a bullet in the head right now.
A pregnant woman....dear God in Heaven.
Waste him. Just waste him now.

I wonder if this will be considered a "hate crime" or just "freedom of speech" by the b-stards in the press. Sadly, I think I know the answer.
Well, to those who always cry "Arab!" this is proof that this is an Islam issue, not an issue with the Arab ethnicity.
....and it appears most of our suspicions (about his religion/motivation) were justified.
Source/post number?
How long until the dumb@$$ f'in leftists blame guns?
