One woman was killed and seven other people were hurt after a suspect identified as a Sudanese immigrant opened fire at a Tennessee church Sunday, police said, as federal officials told Fox News the FBI will initiate a civil rights investigation into the shooting.

The suspect, 25-year-old Emanuel Kidega Samson, immigrated from Sudan two decades ago, police said. He's suspected of bringing two pistols and a mask to the predominantly white Burnette Chapel Church of Christ in Antioch, southeast of Nashville, before opening fire just after 11 a.m.

Despite the name, three guesses:
1. Muslim

>>His motive? BLM or muslim inspired?

People observed committing capital crimes should be tried, found guilty, and hanged within a matter of HOURS, and all questions pertaining to “motive” should be declared irrelevant.

Some news reports said the gunman shot himself in the face.

Surgeons should be able to fix that with a hammer.

With the exception of the woman killed and the man who stopped this person, the victims were elderly.

I am confused...FBI launching civil investigation? Why and into who or what?

I'm sure to investigate if the woman in the parking lot may have said something inappropriate to him as he was shooting her. Possibly researching the church ushers background for racial animus to see if a hate crime with firearm enhancement occurred. Or possibly checking for any President Trump administration involvement to refer to special counsel Mueller and Mad Max Waters for her impeachment quest. /s/s/s/s

No, they went on a cultural war against the Confederate flag and “white supremacists”...even when those could not be found. The riots occurred in Baltimore and Ferguson, over the lie about cops killing a black man in custody and the “Hands Up Don't Shoot” lie about the “gentle giant” and convenience store their Michael Brown.

Gd bless that hero. May he recover fully. He saved countless lives. Prayers for them all including the family of the poor deceased woman.

When did this guy radicalize? This was terror.

Their Church people had a great deal to do with that NOT happening in how they responded. Along with a community that came together, not just for show either.

The guy had a ski ask covering his face in the parking lot...she was just walking to her car so it’s likely she was just there when he started firing....the rest were in church..about 50 others.

I didn’t see it when I looked at his FB pages. However, there were so many, I could have missed it.

It will only be that if the shooter claims it....many do that just to cover their butts anyway....unfortunately Lawyers encourage it.

....Ya ... I saw it ... It was there ..... Unfortunately The narrative has probably now been co-opted from the truth and the new spin is being created as we speak.
