When Fox News Channel starts backtracking on the DHS report, you know something big has happened.
What we know right now:
…A third person sustained minor injuries in the shooting, according to police.
A law enforcement source identified the gunman as James W. von Brunn, who is known to authorities as a white supremacist.
Sgt. David Schlosser, a spokesman for the U.S. Park Police, said the security guard and the gunman were the only two persons who were hit by gunshots. Initial reports said at least one other person sustained gunshot wounds.
He said the museum has been “completely secured and evacuated.”
We have a real escalation of domestic terrorism unfolding in the United States. Something Janet Napolitano warned about in her homeland security report, for which Republicans eviscerated her. She was ringing the warning bell, which as we’ve seen lately was fully warranted.
Along with the Post, Pete Williams of NBC news also named the shooter as James W. von Brunn. A person by the same name has a website that beyond his background contains highly inflammatory rhetoric, though whether this is the same person isn’t assured. News reports also state James W. von Brunn has “ties to white supremacist group,” so the website could be linked.
It’s the latest domestic terrorist incident that should be worrying the FBI, but also Pres. Obama. It’s very dangerous out there.
UPDATE: James W. von Brunn was an Obama birth certificate wacko. Sargent quotes the important DHS section right-wingers should have to recite together.
