BREAKING: Fresno shooting spree: 3 people killed, suspect in custody

[txradioguy]

DEVELOPING: Three people were killed after a man went on a shooting spree in downtown Fresno, California on Tuesday before he was tackled and taken into custody, police said.

Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said officers have taken  Kori Ali Muhammad, 39, into custody in connection to the shootings. Dyer said Muhammad went by the nickname "Black Jesus."

The shooting spree began around 10:45 a.m. local time, when one person was shot in a PG&E utility truck, a second person was shot on Fulton Street and a third person was shot in the parking lot of Catholic Charities, FOX 26 News reported.

Dyer said at a news conference Muhammad has made posts against white people and the government on his Facebook page, and that all the people he shot were white men.

He also shouted "Allahu Akbar" as police tackled him to the ground, according to Dyer.

Muhammad was wanted in connection to the killing of an unarmed security guard at a Motel 6 last week, police said.

Better snapshot it. It won't be there for long.
Strange that they released his name so quickly.  Normally with a Black or Muslim sounding name, the press guards it like a national secret until weeks later. Glad to see that may be changing.

Weird, I can still see it.

They shouldn't insult that Black Jesus by comparing. That Black Jesus wished love, peace, and compassion on everyone. ;)
(actually a pretty funny show as long as you aren't too uptight about blasphemy).

As the U.N., Europe, and most of the world used to say to Israel when this was happening every day there, I hope Fresno will "show restraint", reopen negotiations, and stop building settlements, to stop these senseless attacks.

It's still there.  But.... judging by some of the comments being posted, not for long.

It's okay to make fun of a Jesus blk or white.....  Just don't do it to Black Mo.!

Man kills 3 people in shootings in downtown Fresno
LA Times, Apr 18, 2017, Veronica Rocha and Joseph Serna

A man shot and killed three people in downtown Fresno on Tuesday before surrendering to authorities, the Fresno Police Department said.

The suspect was identified as Kori Ali Muhammad, a 39-year-old man who was wanted in connection with the shooting death of a security guard outside a motel Thursday, said Police Chief Jerry Dyer. The FBI has been notified of the shooting deaths.

“This was a random act of violence,” Dyer said.

The gunfire erupted at 10:45 a.m. in the 300 block of North Van Ness Avenue. A few seconds later, a second shooting was reported. A third shooting was reported, then a fourth.

In less than a minute, Dyer said, 16 shots were fired at the four different locations.

Moments later, a PG&E pickup truck arrived at police headquarters at Fresno and M streets to report his passenger had been shot by a gunman who approached them, he said. Dyer said the attack was unprovoked.

The gunman then walked westbound on East Mildreda Avenue from Van Ness, where he came across a resident. He then opened fire on the resident, the chief said. The resident was not struck by the gunfire.

The gunman continued walking on Mildreda and approached Fulton Street, where he encountered a man. The gunman fired several rounds at the man, killing him, Dyer said.

At this point, the chief said, the gunman unloaded his .357 revolver, dropped the shell casings and reloaded his gun.

He then headed toward Catholic Charities in the 100 block of North Fulton Street and opened fire on a man in the parking lot, striking and killing him, Dyer said.

An officer in the area spotted the gunman running south on Fulton. The gunman then “dove onto the ground” and taken into custody, the chief said.

“As he was taken into custody, he yelled out ‘Allahu Akbar,’” Dyer said.

At least three of the victims were white, Dyer said.

Dyer said Muhammad had expressed hatred toward white people and the government.

Dyer said he wasn’t clear if it was terror-related.

The ultimate result of what now passes for leftwing political rhetoric in this country is murder.

That sentence alone tells you all you need to know about the American Left. From Clinton, to what the Democrats really are, to Islam, their capacity for denial and self-delusion is boundless.

From article quoting the local Inman:  "We're kind of shocked and surprised for what happened," Ghazvini told the AP.

Kind of?

Where is the outrage?

Kind of sounds like their shock could go either way.

These people are the enemy as they do not appear to be on our side.

I'm sure this imam would exhibit far more outrage if, instead of commenting on a racially motivated triple murder by one of his flock, he had instead found a flaming paperbag full of dog squeeze on the steps of his mosque.

It's to the point now where I wonder if the entire Democrat party hasn't secretly converted to Islam.

Sounds like more gun control laws from Sacramento are on the horizon...has nothing to do with racism or islam, evil firearms are responsible.

RIP and prayers for the victims and their loved ones.

It is pretty well documented over the past 10 years.  With the help of the media of course to drive the message.

This isn't all that far at least, in Western terms, from the Berkley riot over the weekend, same state. Sometimes, it's best not to agitate a situation.  This fellow flipped out but may have had terrorist leanings.

The only question is what kind of terror?  Islamic, BLM, or more likely both.  Open civil war may not be that far off with the whites and the Christians being the hunted....
