The Guard indeed is a hero.

Killer girlyboi alert!!!!

I wonder how long it will take for the Chik-Fil-A details to get scrubbed out of the story?

[jeffc]

NBC is reporting this? Oh, wait. that’s right. Next will be the spin as to how the Right is “inciting” people to “protect” the Left by doing this kind of thing. Always the Right’s fault, ya’ know.....

From the article:

The suspect apparently took the Metro downtown and parked his car at a Falls Church Metro station, Williams said. It's not currently clear whether it was East or West Falls Church.

Kind of a stupid criminal. Was he planning on a fast getaway via subway?

The Guard indeed is a hero.

I'll admit to being one of the people who thought "what's so heroic about getting shot?" after reading the initial versions of this story.

But come to find out the guard got shot, then wrestled the SOB to the ground, disarmed him, and held him at gunpoint with his own gun... Heroic indeed!

Here's to that guard's swift and full recovery! Shame the only gun he had available was the one he took from the shooter, though maybe disarming him was the best option: "charge a gun, run from a knife."

So, did the perp yell “Obama akbar” or “MSNBC uber alles” before shooting?

I know somebody here can dig up his DU login name.

I can’t tell if there is more than one Floyd Corkins out there. I just know what that website shows.

The SPLC is a hate group that needs to be taken down. It is a racketeering outfit like the mob.

[DYngbld]

Wait a minute! You are not aloud to have guns in DC. How on Earth did he get one? /s

Praise God no one was seriously injured.

WASHINGTON — The man who allegedly shot a security officer at the D.C. headquarters of the Family Research Council expressed opposition to the group’s positions on gay marriage and had a Chick-Fil-A bag on him when he entered the building, according to multiple media reports.

As of late Wednesday afternoon, officials with the FBI, the Metropolitan Police Department and the Family Research Council would not confirm the reports that the suspect expressed his displeasure with the FRC’s opposition to gay marriage. Law enforcement officials said the matter was still under investigation and it was too early to speak to the individual’s motivation.

The incident could be handled as an incident of domestic terrorism depending on the suspect’s motivations, an FBI spokeswoman told reporters on the scene.

NBC and ABC7 identified him as 28-year-old Floyd Corkins of Virginia. Fox News obtained photos of the man, apparently taken by a witness, that show the suspect in handcuffs and his bloody shirt fully unbuttoned.

facebook link is gone now.

pinging for later developments.

As usual FR is way ahead on breaking news, but for this story I doubt the MSM will ever tell us anything about the Perp.

The FRC now know that they have a guard willing to take a bullet to protect them. Whatever he’s making, they should double it.

The shooter is a liberal activist, LGBT volunteer.

He’s a whack job Liberal. One of theirs...as the last few have been.

They’re really coming unhinged of late.

Well, I sat through 50 minutes of her show, but, to her credit, Rachel Maddow reported it.

I don't think O'Donnell or Shultz did, but there was an AMERICAN DAD on I never saw, so I didn't see 100% of them. Wasn't home in time for Chrissy.

Yeah, I'm a masochist. Back when they were relevant, I begged MRC for a job.
