A 30-year-old Pakistani man, announcing he was a Muslim and angry about Israel, pulled out a gun in the Seattle Jewish Federation today and shot six people, one dead.

The gunman, identified by law enforcement sources as Naveed Afzal Haq, 30, reportedly lives in Pasco, Washington and has a charge of lewd conduct pending against him in Benton County, Washington. He reportedly is a U.S. citizen.
According to several witnesses, the Haq got through security and announced to staff members: "I'm a Muslim American; I'm angry at Israel." He immediately began shooting randomly with a semiautomatic 9-mm handgun at the 18 employees and visitors in the offices.
The Seattle Times reports the gunman shot ordered a receptionist to call 911 after he shot her.
"He told the police that it was a hostage situation and he wanted us to get our weapons out of Israel," one of the wounded workers said.
FBI spokesman David Gomez said officials believe the suspect acted alone and is not affiliated with a foreign organization.
Haq's father was a founding member of the Islamic Centre of Tri-Cities in Richland. He and his wife moved to Pasco three years ago.
According to Chris Richey of Everett, Haq had been his neighbor until two weeks ago, when he abruptly moved. The landlady at their apartment told Richey Haq was going to Pakistan. Haq spoke often about guns and politics, said Richey, and didn't like President Bush.
A law-enforcement source said Haq had a licence to carry a concealed weapon.
Attorney Larry Stephenson, who is representing Haq on a misdemeanor lewd conduct charge for allegedly exposing himself in a public place, said his client had been scheduled for trial last Thursday, but the action was postponed. Haq is not married, has no children and no job, Stephenson said.
Stephenson refused to disclose any mental-health issues his client might have. "I'm really not OK to discuss that," he said.
A hospital spokesman said five women were brought in, and three of them are in critical condition. Three are in their 20s, one is 19 and the other is 43. The 43-year-old was shot in the abdomen. One of the victims is in her 17th week of pregnancy.
A joint terrorism task force joined SWAT teams and a bomb disposal unit at the scene.
"Throughout the city, we have directed all our patrol officers to monitor closely all synagogues and other Jewish organizations, and we have also advised neighboring agencies in the Puget Sound area to do the same," said Nick Metz, Seattle Police Department.
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."
The FBI has labeled the shootings a "hate crime" based on what the gunman told police in a 911 call, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported.

"Haq's father was a founding member of the Islamic Centre"
But Islam is a peaceful religion...
(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em Down Hezbullies.)
Angry? Or brainwashed into endless hatred of jews?
Saw a local tv news report on this, this morning. The reporter said that this shooting MAY have been the result of the shooters beliefs.
Nothing to see here, move on.
really brave soldiers.
at some point, the world might notice this is a war in indonesia, thailand, the United States, iraq, israel, lebanon, france, italy, spain, england, denmark....
Just another slave of Satan, carrying out his master's wishes.
It's racist to think that his religion has anything to do with him shooting anything. It isn't his fault but the conditions that he has to live under in a non Islamic country. Shame on America...../s
So, is he Pakistani or American?
Sad we have to go to this source to get to the bottom of this.
NO!! He did NOT act alone, and he IS affiliated with a foreign organization.
He acted at the behest of tens of millions of others of his perverted pursuasion and is a member of a VERY foreign organization, ISLAM.
.
Excellent argument for C Carry Permits.
Especially if this crap continues.
I agree, though here in GA the law dictates no CCW's in church, sporting events, bars, etc., etc. (the list is long).
Nevertheless, it's a good idea to keep aware and on the lookout for more of this crap.
WHERE'S THE MEDIA ON THIS STORY?
After we heard about the story, we started looking and reading. My husband predicted that it wouldn't be stressed that this guy was a Muslim.
We watched Glenn Beck's show last night and it seems to me that Beck is the only one on TV calling a spade a spade.
We were amazed at one of his guests last night (I think it was a compilation of a bunch of segments from the week.)
Anyhoo, the guy kept referring to the Islamofascists and how Islam wants a war with the West.
The rest of the on air media pussyfoot around the subject, IMHO.
WTF? Shouldn't they be spending their time and resources "monitor closely" the proponents of violence against Jews..., namely Muslims, and the places where they congregate..., mosques?
I wonder what his DU handle is.
I hope all those Jewish libs in the Great Northwest start carrying (at least) 9 mms...as should all law-abiding citizens everywhere.
