[QUOTE]Police are involved in an active shooter at a Colorado Springs branch of Planned Parenthood Friday afternoon. The city's fire department tweeted about the situation about 11:45 a.m. The branch is located at 3480 Centennial Blvd., just east of the Garden of the Gods. "The area is NOT secure," police said in a tweet.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_29172660/colorado-springs-firefighters-respond-active-shooter-at-planned[/url] I hate when this happens because it always spurs the Gun Control debate...
Probably some christian zealot who is against women having rights shootin' the place up. We will see on the nightly news tonight. EDIT: Anddddd....... NAILED IT!!!!! Funny that republican candidates who are pro-gun anti-women's rights have nothing to say about this. Cat got your tongue Trump, Carson????
One officer injured

[QUOTE=Conscript;49198732]Well to he fair he's probably not really off the mark[/QUOTE] Is it known if the PP was the target or just where he ended up.
Is this domestic terrorism, or an escalation of something else? Personal beef turned deadly? Somebody running from the cops and holing up here at random? Besides the officers injured, are there any suspected or confirmed civilian deaths?

Not all extremists are from the Middle East. On US soil, Christian, Anti-government, and other Right Wing extremists have killed more than twice as many people as Jihadists in the years since 9/11.

This is like 5 miles from where I live, it's 20 degrees and snowing it's absolutely shit outside, best of luck to the officers in bringing this guy in/down.

The only point I'm trying to make is that there is such a thing as right wing extremists, and that domestic terrorism is actually a semi-regular occurrence. That is to say that it's silly to express irritation and disbelief when somebody suggests that a shooting at an institution that has been the focus of intense political controversy over the past year might just be domestic terrorism. I mean, I'm not being misleading here. I specifically said, "in the years following 9/11" and "on US soil."
Why have we stopped feverishly speculating about this just because we aren't getting new information? Do we think we're better than network news?
Jesus, I hope everyone over there turns out unharmed or at least not lethally I'm getting so sick of hearing awful shit like this now.
Nothing screams pro-life like putting a couple rounds in some poor, uninvolved individuals.

I drive past this place at least once or twice a week, there's 9/10 times protesters outside. Wonder if one of them finally snapped.
[QUOTE=BFG9000;49198716]really dude[/QUOTE] In fairness there are a lot of hyper-conservative people hidden in plain sight in and around the Springs, and guns are a pretty hot topic since there is so much military there. Put two and two together, and well... it seems plausible.
7 rescued, 4 officers injured, cops still exchanging fire with the gunman. [editline]27th November 2015[/editline] According to Fox
[QUOTE=BFG9000;49199186]really dude[/QUOTE] What, you think the shooter didn't have an agenda considering the location?
Everyone's (not really on FP) crying about "insurgent refugees" but lets forget about domestic terrorists. He's just a lone wolf guys!

If Planned Parenthood was the actual target, then I wouldn't be surprised if it was a Christian extremist, and if so, you can bet that Christians across the US will speak out against it.

He could be a sovereign citizen type or even BLM. It doesn't sound like PP was the target at this time.
[QUOTE=OvB;49199520]That's definitely bullshit. That picture is some Internet celebrity.[/QUOTE] He is a celebrity because of the many terror attacks he has committed, when will this menace be stopped?
