A gunman shouting "Allahu Akbar" opened fire on a bus carrying U.S. airmen in Frankfurt, Germany, killing two and wounding two others before his gun jammed and he was subdued, officials said.
An ethnic Albanian from Kosovo was taken into custody and the FBI was heading an investigation because U.S. citizens were killed and to determine whether the shooting was an act of terrorism.
President Obama made an unscheduled appearance to say, "I am saddened and I am outraged by this attack" and U.S. investigators would work with German authorities and "spare no effort" to ensure that "all of the perpetrators are brought to justice."
He added that the killings were a "stark reminder of the extraordinary sacrifices" of American servicemembers.
Sources told ABC News that the victims were on a bus at Frankfurt airport. The bus was marked United States Air Force and was carrying 13 or 14 people, plus the driver. U.S. intelligence is trying to determine whether the shooting occurred while the gunman was on the bus or while he was trying to board the bus.
When he opened fire, the gunman, identified as a long-term resident of Germany, shouted "Allahu Akbar," according to sources. He fired nine times, killling two and critically wounding two others before the gun jammed and he was subdued by other passengers. While being wrestled into submission, the suspect shouted either "Jihad Jihad" or "Allahu Akbar," sources said.

There are no words, suitable to print.....
For sure not a terrorist or Muzzie.
Those dammed Methodists were at it yet again.....
I am shocked they reported what the murdering sack of turds actually said.
“While being wrestled into submission, the suspect shouted either “Jihad Jihad” or “Allahu Akbar,” sources said.”
They should have beat his brains in before the police got there. Another SOB murderer from the international death cult called Islam.
“Those dammed Methodists were at it yet again.....”
No, if he was Methodist, he would have brought some sort of chicken casserole.
I am sure that Obama will tell us they did not really mean that ... they were actually tea party folks doing the shooting ..Islam means LOVE
In the middle of a tragic moment, you actually made me laugh.
And if it was Lutherans it would have been hotdish.
Jokes aside, God bless our soldiers, bless the families and give them strength.
Baptist? Catholic? Mormon? I am sure it was one of those. ROP is just that. Bush said so.
The world’s ROT (Religion of Terror) strikes again.
I would recommend immediate and equal violence against the Islamic perv..I can’t say more than that or I’ll be accused of inciting violence here..pathetic..
ABC news reporting the Allah Akbar bit?
I must be dreaming....
Don't believe your lying ears.
I totally agree. and the Klintons bombed the Christians so these Muslims could run rampant.
Possibly, but if he was a baptist, he would be bringing an empty casserole dish home.
Can someone please translate “Allahu Akbar” for me?
No one can seem to figure out what caused this “tragedy.”

“ABC news reporting the Allah Akbar bit?
I must be dreaming....”
Even Fox couldn’t say the magic words apparently:
“Report: Gunman Yelled “God Is Great” in Arabic”
I no longer attempt to discern between “moderate” muslims and the crazies.
If you still adhere to this caveman religion after seeing the actions of your “brothers” who are merely acting on the words of your “holy book”, then I do not care to make a distinction.
It’s like trying to find the difference between good Nazis and bad Nazis....
