That report is oddly void of mention of the suspect's ethnicity. Normally WHITE RACIST would be blared across the headlines. I'm confused. Are the reporters just incompetent?

 

[Steeltime]

Waiting for the Decaf Shooter Update.

Sorry, available only in white.

 

[hamster]

I thought Maryland gun laws prevented these types of incidents.

 

[steel dino]

Any update on this one?

Strangely quite? Even more so than usual...
Strange indeed.

Navy hospital corpsman wounded 2 sailors before being killed at Maryland's Fort Detrick, officials say​

(CNN)A Navy sailor shot and wounded two other sailors at a facility in the Maryland city of Frederick on Tuesday morning before driving to the US military's nearby Fort Detrick, where police shot and killed him, authorities said.
The US Navy tweeted that the shooter was a Navy hospital corpsman, and Fort Detrick officials told CNN that he was posted at that installation.
They identified him as Fantahun Girma Woldesenbet, whose rank was E-4.
"We are still investigating motive, investigating the exact circumstances," Army Brig. Gen. Michael J. Talley told reporters at an afternoon news conference.


The gunman was stopped at the post's gates, but before the vehicle could be searched the shooter took off. He was stopped about 1/2 mile onto the installation, where he got out of the car, brandished a weapon and was shot by police, Talley told reporters.
Frederick Police Chief Jason Lando said the first shooting took place at "a military institution" in the Riverside Tech Park. In a news release, the police department said the building is a warehouse rented by Naval Medical Research Center, Biological Defense Research Directorate to store research supplies and equipment.
The chief said the gunman used a rifle but did not provide any additional information on the weapon.
One victim is in critical condition but is stable at a hospital. The second victim is in serious condition but likely will be released Wednesday. Both were taken from the scene by helicopter, police said.

Police were called around 8:20 a.m.​

Police had been called to the first scene, about a 4-mile drive east of Fort Detrick, around 8:20 a.m., Lando said earlier. "We know some people fled from the business," Lando said.
After the shooting, a victim entered a nearby business, Nicolock Paving Stones, and asked for help, a person there said.
"Our team was able to assist them and called the authorities," a statement released by Jeremy Mutschler, director of marketing and advertising at Nicolock, reads. The statement emphasizes that the shooting did not happen at Nicolock.
Agencies helping Frederick police include the FBI; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; Maryland State Police; and the Frederick County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI is handling the first shooting scene, officials said.
Frederick is about a 50-mile drive northwest of Washington, DC. Woldesenbet did not live on Fort Detrick, officials said.
Fort Detrick is an Army biomedical and research facility. There are elements of other military branches on the post. According to the website Military Installations, there are about 1,300 active-duty military and 8,500 civilians and contractors at Fort Detrick or the Forest Glen campus in Silver Spring, Maryland.
CNN's Joe Johns, Amanda Watts and Michael Callahan contributed to this report.

Sorry folks. I was wrong. He's not from Nebraska, or white. I'm just racist I guess.

You're just getting dumber and dumber with each passing day. Sad to see someone spiral downwards like this. Hope there's still a chance for a turnaround, some how, some way.

Balanced reporting. They talked about the guy in Atlanta for a solid week because he was an EvEl HwItE Rrrrrracist. Even though the attack was over his weird sexual hang ups and had nothing to do with race, and called for gun confiscation. Even spun a false narrative about HwItE SoOpRaMacEe being the cause of rabid Rrrrrracist attacks against Asian people even though the OVERWHELMING majority of violent crimes against Asians are committed by blacks. You yourself pushed that narrative. The Boulder incident disappeared in 48 hours because the guy was the wrong color for the leftist anti-white male conservative narrative and this will disappear in 48 hours as well for the same reason.

Boulder? Isn't that where a white Muslim shot all those people of color? And by "color," I mean white.

 

[Steeltime]

Atlanta, white shooter. Media and Decaf:

Boulder ... Frederick. Persons of non-white color as shooter, bunch of white people shot:

You are an idiot if you cannot see the hypocrisy of the MSM to promote stories based on the race of the perp. C'mon man.





GIPHY News

 

[wig]

It's ridiculous how cliche it is. If no news comes out immediately, you can ascertain with about 98% certainty what happened.

 

[hamster]

A few years back, there was a shooting in Wilkensburg that claimed numerous lives. Before any arrests were made, local new anchor Wendy Bell suggested that the perps were black, in a FB post. Everyone and their grandmothers knew that the perps were almost certainly black. It was Wilkensburg.

Of course, she was right. But that didn't matter. She had already committed the mortal sin of defaming a protected class. Even though she was exercising common sense, and drawing an obvious conclusion. Her TV career was cancelled.

The local news suffer from the same woke progressive rot that the national media espouses.

 

[steel dino]

Just curious--

Any motive given on this one?

 

[Buster]

Didn't you see the shooter was a person of color? Move along.
