Muzzies or skinheads?
It's a continuing craze...quantity over quality.
Ah, not much here? Is this just so breaking that there are no details?
Nothing in a Google news search.

SEATTLE - Police and SWAT teams are responding to reports of several shots fired at or near the Jewish Federation Center at 3rd and Virginia in Downtown Seattle.
The situation is still fluid and the suspect or suspects may not be in custody yet. Video from Air 4 showed at least one, perhaps two people in police custody, but there may still be more suspects.
We have heard unconfirmed reports that several people have been shot, but exact details are not known. One person was reportedly shot in the abdomen and another in the arm. They are being taken to Seattle's Harborview Medical Center.
The surrounding area has been blocked off and police ask that you please avoid the area.
The FBI did send out warnings two days ago to Jewish organizations to be on alert due to the recent events in the Middle East, but it is too early to know if these shootings are related in any way.
"Free Republic, Faster Than A Speeding Google."
Ping!
Ok. Skin heads or Radical Islamist? Bets anyone?
Live feed on CNN Pipeline.....perimter set up....lots of ambulances arriving....
Thanks Karl. on now.
Uh-oh, is Cynthia McKinney vacationing in Seattle ?
Jim McDermott going on a rampage against "neo-cons"?
My bet would be The Religion Of Peace.
Skinhead militiamen would be better shots.
Muzzies who love Hitler or Skinheads who love Hitler--not much difference.
Oh no. This isn't far from where I used to live. Prayers for those people.
Yup. That would be my guess.
Hugh Hewitt has two local contacts: Yoni Tiki (former IDF intelligence agent) and Michael Medved.
The story is too new (only broke about half an hour ago) - all I've heard is the Jewish Federation is on the 2000 block of 3rd Avenue - sort of the Denny Regrade area.
Yoni has "confirmed" two shot, but suspects more. Stay tuned.

Now, if someone shot some Muslims who exhibited radical tendencies here, the entire Federal government would descend upon them. Who cares about a few dead Jews in Seattle?
Oops - I meant "Belltown", not "Regrade"
over here!
SEATTLE At least two people have been shot at the Jewish Federation at 2031 Third Ave. in downtown Seattle. One person has been taken into custody.
One person was reportedly shot in the abdomen and another, a woman, was shot in the arm. They are being taken to Harborview Medical Center.
The incident began around 4 p.m.
Part of Third Avenue and Second Avenue have been closed to traffic. Police are urging people to stay away from the area. It's not known if more suspects are at large but policemen were seen handcuffing one person and others were searching the area.
At least three people were seen emerging from the building, which has two or three stories, escorted by police. It's not known if they were hostages.
Medics, escorted by police, have been taking other people from the building. Police have kept other medics from entering the building. It's not known how many people are left in the building or if more people are injured.
Rich Pruitt of the Seattle Police Department said" "Right now we have our SWAT team searching the building."
He said the building is being searched room by room and closet by closet for more people.
One shooter is confirmed and in custody, he said. As of yet he said there is no motive. 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."
No motive. ha.
THANK YOU for the pings.
Watching for updates here now.

I just found the page:

OMGosh. Heard on the radio coming home about "police activity, SWAT teams, aid cars...".
Multiple Casualty Incident
Oh G-d
Could you ping the Oregon list, Salvation?
Micheal is "good wood". He'll get to the bottom of things.
Honestly, I hope this is not the Muzzies but wouldn't be surprised if so...
Sheesh. Watching the KING-5 live feed, the reporterette actually said the victims were rushed to the hospital in a "glorious display of lights."
Victims were three women.
Sinking feeling I might know a few of that organization - very rightty, Orthodox Jews.
This is past politics right now, though.
Not a lot of Jews in Seattle, comparatively. Can't figure out why they would be a profiled target.
Federation apparently held pro-Israel demonstration earlier in the week.
KING 5 also said there was no motive for the shooting!
Lots of Muslims. Lots of Leftists.
Drudge has a link now. Prayers for all concerned. ROP attack?
How can these people be so stupid? There was a DHS and FBI terror alert, and an Al Qaeda video released.
I could think of one or two.
I'll take Muzzies for $100.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

Close to Canada. Remember the muzzie that was going to try and take down the Space Needle came across the border.
