Breaking: Shooting at Family Research Council office in DC

Two people, including one security guard, were shot at the office of the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., this morning.

“The police are investigating this incident,” said FRC President Tony Perkins in a statement on the shooting. “Our first concern is with our colleague who was shot today. Our concern is for him and his family.”

The shooter was also reportedly shot, according to a local news report, which notes that the FBI is at the scene.

The Family Research Council is a socially-conservative non-profit that participates in cultural debates about abortion, traditional marriage, and religious liberty.

The shooter was also reportedly shot, according to a local news report, which notes that the FBI is at the scene.

Never mind. I see the second person was the shooter himself. Prayers for that misguided individual as well.

“Be on notice and mark my words. This is the beginning of the end.”

I think it may be part of a coordinated attack, along with the Dark Knight shooter and the Sikh shooter. Read these and weep:

“Don’t shoot me, it was not about you, it was what this place stands for.”

Mark 13:

13And everyone will hate you because you are my followers. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

Sevrin Caswell · Top Commenter · Swansea University Good. I don’t really agree with shooting people, but it was only a matter of time, considering the pervasive nature of guns in america, that the right sort of person would target the right sort of organisation. Shame the guard is still alive, he doesn’t deserve to be.

Pure evil right on display...

We need to get these people’s real names and turn them into the FBI for inciting violence and hate speech. Make them play by their own rules.

[ctdonath2]

Oh, but the Supreme Court legalized possession of them, remember?
Never mind that there is no legal way to obtain them in DC.

Update, 2 PM EDT:

From Fox News: According to authorities, shooter made statements about FRC’s conservative policies, then shooting. Security guard “was a hero...went above and beyond...” Incident appears to be classified as domestic terrorism, which suggests FBI believes the motive was political. Fox News reporter also suggested that maybe statements about FRC policies were made after shooter was wrestled to the ground (though whether it was before or after is irrelevant.)

Politico.com is quoting Fox News regarding statements by shooter. Updated Washington Post article still does not mention that aspect of story, and niether does CNN story.

I just now noticed that both of these vile responses have likes to them, so people agree

Make them play by their own rules.

They are playing by their father's (Satan) rules

Thanks, you guys. I think I figured it out. Saved as web page as well as screen captures of comments and saved as jpegs in paint.

Also, maybe comments can't be seen unless you are logged into your Facebook account? I did have to blot out my FB ID in paint, at the top of the comments section.

I read this commentary at your provided link:

I have read the follow up reports. The guard confronted the shooter, was shot in the arm and then, with other staff, tackeled the shooter and held him until police arrived. The shooter was reported to have multiple guns and lots of ammo. Sounds like a real tragedy was averted today.

Have you heard this too?

Not condoned or commissioned by any of that side, but inspired thereby and snowballed into all-out war.

I guess we can label the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group now.

According the Southern Poverty Law Center (kooks & money hungry crooked lawyers) say:

Family Research Council

Founded:
1983

Location:
Washington, D.C.

Ideology:
Anti-Gay

The Family Research Council (FRC) bills itself as “the leading voice for the family in our nation’s halls of power,” but its real specialty is defaming gays and lesbians. The FRC often makes false claims about the LGBT community based on discredited research and junk science. The intention is to denigrate LGBT people in its battles against same-sex marriage, hate crimes laws, anti-bullying programs and the repeal of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.

Why do I question whether the Obama administration really does anything to these people, even the shooter?

I've been though the C&C class and I think it's time to get that new gun my husband wants me to get-instead of using one of our bigger guns. I'm vocal locally & just yesterday answered a pro-homosexuals comments on Facebook - Boy Scouts. I was nice, she thought marriage started with governments. I told her the first historical reference to marriage was Gensis.

Just another left-wing extremist, neo-NAZI, white separatist, skin-head, militia, Obama voter.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I ran across that, too, somewhere....now I can’t find it. Guess it will all ‘come out in the wash’, soon.

[penelopesire]

Agree but I am talking about alinskying the alinskites! I blame the leftists and Obama for this as well as satan’s evil tongue. If you get me these people’s names...I will be glad to report them and possibly file charges. Enough of this crap.

[Zeneta]

I think you are spot on !!

I get the sense that there are agents of Satan that are ready, willing and anxious to create mayhem for the sole purpose of bringing in their False Savior.

I am afraid the number of shootings is about to accelerate.

Stay safe.

[arasina]

Wonder what the next target is? Gaffe-a-Minute Plugs, maybe? Two birds with one stone. Make it look like a TP person did it when in reality it was a drone or something. First declare Martial Law then “install” HRC as his replacement.

Those comments are truly disturbing. I have a hard time believing that those people actually put those thoughts to writing, and with their name attached even.

I may have to completely reevaluate the danger and threat level from the frothing at the mouth, hate spewing liberals that I'm unfortunate to know. Truly unbelievable and shocking.

Justifying attempted mass murder? That is truly insane!
