The 22-year-old McGuire Air Force Base airman who was the target of an attempted murder-suicide in Willingboro last week remains hospitalized in serious but stable condition, a military official said today.
Senior Airman Jonathan Schrieken is recuperating at Cooper University Hospital in Camden, where he was initially listed in critical condition after the July 4 shooting but has since been upgraded to serious condition, said Public Affairs Spc. Angel Lopez, a base spokeswoman. His family is with him in the hospital, Lopez said.
Lopez declined to say whether Schrieken is conscious, citing privacy restrictions. She also would not comment on his prognosis for recovery or when he is expected to leave the hospital, saying those decisions will be made on a “day-by-day basis” as doctors see “how he progresses.”
McGuire representatives have visited Schrieken, a loadmaster in the 6th Airlift Squadron, “to show their support and provide him with their thoughts and prayers,” Lopez said.
Will someone please explain to me why the MSM has decided that this isn't "Newsworthy"???
you can answer that yourself
((sound of crickets))
A rhetorical question if ever I heard one.
The first I’ve heard of this was on Rush’s show today.
Prayers for Airman Schrieken’s quick and complete recovery.
The perp should be awarded the order of the hempen necktie in a dignified public ceremony.
It REALLY bothers me that we know NOTHING about the shooter.
Did he live in mommy’s basement?
Unemployed College drop-out?
Did he spend all day and night posting on KOS?
What was his AlterNet and truthout ID’s?
How did he pay for his subscription to Rense’s Website?
He shot himself and also left a suicide note.
All the news that fits the AGENDA..........
Is the shooter in custody or not???????????????
Rush made a good point. Can you imagine how much of a big deal the MSM would be making of a soldier shot a moonbat?
Now. If the airman had shot the “ peacenick “ we’d never hear the end of it.
Can you say: “ agenda “?
More to the story if you click on “shot” in the article, or just follow this link:

I live in the general area, and this is the first I’ve heard the story. I’ll check with other NJers to see if it’s been on the news much.
Green Footballs came up with the story a couple days after it happened...

If we had some REAL journalists in the MSM, we’d know the answers to all those questions and more! Doesn’t fit their agenda, so they don’t care.....
It’s not just that they don’t care. It deeply offends them, so they prefer to pretend it never happened. Now, if he had shot a gay transvestite, or an abortion doctor, we’d be hearing about it for the next year.
Because its an anti-war gunman.
It’s OK to use guns for left-wing causes, like crime and murder.
This is the first I’ve heard of this. At least this source gives the perps name!

[snip]The Pennsauken man who shot and wounded a member of the U.S. Air Force before killing himself left suicide notes that indicated he was “angry at the government and wanted to make a statement” on Independence Day, one of the man’s relatives said yesterday.

good point, if any military person (or supporter) even slugged a moonbat it would be headline news all over the country with outrage, demonstrations, etc. But moonbats can try to get away with murder and the ENEMEDIA could not care less.
