    PR just said locals should stay in place. Situation not contained at this time.

    3 officers shot. Suspect in custody.

    And right on cue the "resist" crowd is already blaming Trump and the NRA. They are trying to get the hashtag #MAGAshooter tending. So predictable and so disgusting.

    It must've been because Trump called himself a "nationalist"

    I'll wait for the inevitable investigation of this guy's social media.

    You never know what kind of a fight for our rights something like this could turn into. Or how it might affect the upcoming mid-terms. Hard to tell how the antis/dems might play this terrorist action.

    Now removed social media account of shooter... very anti Jew, anti-immigrant, and anti-Trump for not being "nationalist". The guy was a nutjob.

    Unfortunately the new standard procedure for Facebook and Twitter seems to be to delete the accounts of the suspects once they've been identified in cases like this. I think this is a huge diservice to both the media the public, and anyone looking to investigate the account.

    He's been identified as Robert Bowers. From the screenshots I've seen he went out of his way to tell people he did NOT support Trump or vote for him, but screenshots can be pretty easily manipulated/photoshopped so who knows.

    I don't care what political ideology someone supports, or who they vote for. Anyone who commits acts of violence should be condemned, prosecuted and punished accordingly.

    I disagree. Forward a copy to the authorities and delete that crap. We don't need to leave it up for a bunch of amateurs to play the "which tribe can I blame for this" game and provide noteriety, name recognition, and a platform for the shooter's dumb message.
