I just read that two Federal agents (marshals?) were hit, and that the gunman (solo) was dead.

Found something more . . . According to an AP story, a 48-year-old deputy US Marshal was wounded, and a court security officer in his late 60s was killed by the gunman, who died from a shot to the head.

Fox is saying they have news about who the gunman was, and maybe what his motives were.

Poor bastard.  If only he knew that all his problems were nearly over: his skittle-shitting unicorn was sitting at the Post Office dock, waiting for pick-up.

The guy started his apartment on fire before he left the house.  :mental:

I hate it when stuff like this happens so close to home.

And nary a peep from the MSM.  Of course, had this guy been a vet/white supremacist, we'd be hearing about him 24/7, and Olbertard and the rest of the loopy left would be screaming from the rooftops.

Nah, no hypocrisy here, folks.  Move along, nothing to see.

I told my wife when it was reported that he was mad because he didn't get a raise in his SS that I'd bet dollars to donuts it was someone who was on SSDI rather than someone who had actually put in to the system.

From what I'm seeing here (and there is scant news here in Texas about it) it looks like I was right.
