Today's Shootings Update: San Bernardino, California

Details unfolding ...

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. -- Police on Wednesday confirmed there had been a shooting incident at a social services center in San Bernardino, California. Officials initially reported there were up to 20 victims and that up to three shooters were at large.

Lt. Richard Lawhead told MSNBC the incident is at Inland Regional Center. According to its Facebook page, the Inland Regional Center assists individuals with developmental disabilities. It has nearly 670 staff and provides services to more than 30,200 people.

At about 1 p.m., more than two dozen staff members, some of whom were in wheelchairs, were being escorted out of the building and loaded into school buses. Law enforcement vehicles from a number of agencies surrounded the building. - Huffington

It will be all over the news, so details will be coming in.  No known motive at this time.

It happens a lot, doesn't it.  

Minneapolis On The Map Again! Little Mogadishu and the terror recruiters are here.

The Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis

 is sometimes called "Little Mogadishu."

Right here in Minneapolis.

Six Minnesota men are accused of planning to travel to Syria to help support the Islamic State militant group.

The Department of Justice said the men, who were arrested in two different states Sunday, are all charged with “conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization.” Some are facing similar additional federal charges.

“As described in the criminal complaint, these men worked over the course of the last 10 months to join ISIL,” said U.S. Attorney Luger in the news release. “Even when their co-conspirators were caught and charged, they continued to seek new and creative ways to leave Minnesota to fight for a terror group.” - Bring Me the News

I think it might be more accurate to state that Minneapolis has a 'terror recruiting problem'.

This is the city in Minnesota where most Somalis live.

All the headlines say the recruiters are from Minnesota - but they're pretty much centered right here in Minneapolis.  As our Mayor noted recently:

We are also a city of refugees, of people who escaped war and persecution and were welcomed here. Minneapolis is known across the world as a safe harbor for refugees and we should be proud of that history. - Mayor Betsy Hodges, State of the City Address

BTW.  One of Mayor Hodges' main goals for her administration is Minneapolis Climate Champs Challenge.  It's a huge concern. (Freedom to marry is also big on her agenda.)

We know our collective future depends on our ability to have a planet — and a city — that can sustain life with clean air, clean water, nourishing food, and stable weather patterns. - Mayor Hodges

Really?  I'm thinking public safety may need some attention as well.  

Should Catholics patronize gay wedding planners/florists/decorators/bakers? How about the price of those wedding kecks, huh?

Random Killings ...

An 89 year old man was murdered in Spokane the other day - a random assault by two black guys.  The victim, Delbert Belton died of his injuries in the hospital.

Three teenagers shot jogger, Chris Lane in the back this past week in Oklahoma - they were bored.

Three people were shot on Minneapolis' Northside yesterday - one victim was a toddler.  It was black on black violence.

Rage and murder... it's just a kiss away...
