Although you have to take early news reports with a grain of salt, it sure sounds like the bearded, skullcap wearing shooter in Arvada is somebody who was abusively misinterpreting a Religion of Peace.
The wife and I lived in Littleton at the time of the Columbine shootings - we are praying for the victims and their families.
This is frightening! I have friends in both communities.
Skullcap -- A Kippah or Yarmulke, a small cloth skullcap worn by observant Jewish men, or a Kufi, a skullcap worn by some Muslims.
My bet is that it is a Kufi.
Well, the same spirit of abortion isn't confined to abortion clinics. The same worldwide spirit of persecution doesn't limit his scope of influence to overseas.
Ted Haggard’s old church.

A gunman opened fire in the parking lot of a Colorado Springs church on Sunday, striking four people, the church’s pastor said.
The conditions of the people shot outside the New Life Church were not known, El Paso County Sheriff’s Lt. Lari Sevene said.
Lance Coles, a pastor at New Life Church, told The Associated Press he received a report that a man was shooting at people in the church parking lot and that the gunman may have entered the church.
It was not immediately known whether the shootings were related to an earlier shooting about 70 miles away in the Denver suburb of Arvada. There, two people died and two were wounded early Sunday when a gunman opened fire in a dormitory
I have friends in Denver and south of Denver....
LEOs are still calling this “active”,,,,
It’s still not clear if the guy is inside or out...
Has anyone seen Larry Craig?
FOX is saying that the suspect is still at large.
I just looked this church up...it’s a megachurch.
We go to a large church as well, and this is a worst case scenario. Lots of rooms, lots of people...we have a security contingent but in a large building it would be a nightmare if a gunman was loose.
New Life Church if I remember, is where the evangelical minister and leader of a national evangelical group...was found to be having massages (and more) from a gay guy.
PRAYERS up!
Skull cap as in Yarmulke, or as in Kufi?
FNC is reporting that the description of the shooter is very similiar from witnesses at both scenes.
70 miles’ drive is obviously not a long drive.
I wouldn’t doubt he’d planned his day out for today.....
The devil at work again...using a pathetic man to kill and harm...Our Lord’s Believers.
I’m thinking, given the weather up there it might JUST be a knit watchcap.
If it’s a kufi, why didn’t the guy target a synagog intead?
Wonder what his screen name is over at DU...
You have FReepmail....
