/0 Comments/in , , /by

Five people were killed in a Michigan shooting spree on Friday, sparking a massive manhunt that ended when the suspected gunman was found dead.

The bloodshed was first discovered at a home in Missaukee County, after troopers responded to a property on a report that someone had been shot around 11:40 a.m., Michigan State Police said in a news release.

Police found three dead people and one in critical condition at the home.

State police said the suspect, 39-year-old Chad Hickman, had fled the property prior to the troopers arriving on scene.

Two more slain victims were later found — one in the woods near Whitlock Lake and another in a separate home, according to state police.

The carnage prompted a frantic search for Hickman, who police said was considered armed and dangerous. (Read more from “Five People Killed after Michigan Maniac goes on Bloody Shooting Spree” HERE)

Hero Civilian Who Fired Back at In-N-Out Shooter Trained in Self Defense after Witnessing another Mass Shooting

/22 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. The good Samaritan being hailed as a “hero” for firing upon Idaho In-N-Out gunman Chad Williams in the middle of his deadly drive-thru rampage had trained for such a moment for years after witnessing another mass shooting.

Jordan Salinas, 35, a healthcare worker and the full-time caregiver of his brother, who uses a wheelchair, had been horseback riding with his girlfriend the morning of the shooting when the couple pulled into the Twin Falls In-N-Out location for lunch and immediately noticed something amiss.

A large crowd of people was rushing through the exit doors of the restaurant, which he assumed was due to a kitchen fire until he heard the unmistakable pop of gunfire.

Operating on pure instinct, Salinas sprinted toward the sound of the gunfire – a response he’d later refer to as “automatic” and “mechanical,” he told the Idaho Statesman.

He drew his FN Five-Seven – a semiautomatic pistol equipped with a suppressor – and engaged Williams using the military’s four-step “Observe, Orient, Decide Act” approach.

Texas Mass Shooter Ndiaga Diagne Had Iranian Flag and Photos of Islamic Republic Leaders in His Home: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

The murderous gunman who shot up a Texas bar in a possible terrorist attack had an Iranian flag and photos of Islamic Republic leaders in his home, according to a report.

Senegalese national Ndiaga Diagne, 53, may have been motivated by the joint attack by Israel and the US when he pulled up to Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden in Austin on Sunday wearing a “Property of Allah” shirt and started shooting, killing two people and wounding 14 others, officials have said.

After Diagne was shot dead by Austin police officers, a search warrant executed at his home revealed an Iranian flag and pictures of Iranian leaders, sources with direct knowledge told CBS News.

A Quran was also found in Diagne’s car and he was also wearing an undershirt with the Iranian flag or other Iranian symbols, The Post previously revealed.

FBI Special Agent Alex Doran told reporters on Sunday that while authorities are working to determine the exact motivation for the mass shooting, there were “indicators on the subject and in his vehicle that indicate a potential nexus to terrorism.” (Read more from “Texas Mass Shooter Ndiaga Diagne Had Iranian Flag and Photos of Islamic Republic Leaders in His Home: Report” HERE)

Transgender Dropout Who Killed Family, 6 at Former School Posted About Dream of Becoming ‘Petite’ Woman

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The transgender high school dropout who slaughtered his mom and stepbrother before gunning down six others at his former school in Canada had whined online about his 6-foot-tall frame making it impossible to live out his dream as a “petite” woman.

Jesse Van Rootselaar, 18, aired his grievances about transitioning as well as his obsession for guns in a series of online posts in the years before unleashing hell at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School on Tuesday, the Telegraph reported.

“Do I have a good build type for HRT [hormone replacement therapy]?” Van Rootselaar wrote in a since-deleted post on a trans-community forum.

“Any advice is appreciated, should I put on weight or anything? Work out?”

In one post from March 2020, Van Rootselaar, who described himself as “MtF” — or male-to-female — wrote: “I’m pre-HRT 15yo, I’m super skinny, so that sometimes makes me feel kinda good!”

“But I’m Pre-HRT and my expectations are minimal for chest growth, and I’m 6ft tall! Why can’t I be petit an [sic] smol [small]?” (Read more from “Transgender Dropout Who Killed Family, 6 at Former School Posted About Dream of Becoming ‘Petite’ Woman” HERE)

/1 Comment/in , /by

The mother of the man who carried out a mass shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school reportedly worked at the institution where the attack occurred, according to law enforcement sources cited by 11Alive.

Authorities identified the gunman as Robin Westman, who opened fire Wednesday morning at Annunciation Catholic School during a Mass service attended by students. Police said Westman killed two children, ages 8 and 10, and injured 17 others, including 14 children, before fatally shooting himself.

During a press conference, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the victims were shot while seated in the pews. Witnesses described a man dressed in black carrying multiple firearms at the scene. Police confirmed Westman had a rifle, shotgun, and pistol.

A now-deleted YouTube channel bearing Westman’s name appeared to display a cache of weapons alongside anti-Christian messages, racial slurs, and other writings.

Authorities have not released details on the mother’s role at the school or whether it factored into the motive. The investigation remains active with assistance from federal law enforcement.

Two children were killed and 17 others injured Wednesday morning when a gunman opened fire through the windows of a Minneapolis Catholic church during a school Mass, authorities said.

Parents gathered outside the church and school Wednesday morning as authorities secured the scene.

Armed Hero Stops Masked ‘Church Shooter’ with a Hail of Perfectly-Aimed Bullets

/6 Comments/in , , /by

There’s a very specific kind of mass shooting story the media doesn’t like to cover… it’s the kind that doesn’t happen because a good guy with a gun stopped it cold.

Roughly a month ago, a man stormed into a Michigan church during Sunday worship and opened fire. It could have ended in total carnage. But it didn’t. Because a legally armed, everyday churchgoer took him down. No military training. No law enforcement background. Just courage, quick action, and a gun.

This should have been front-page news. It wasn’t. And we all know why… because it doesn’t fit the left’s anti-gun agenda. They’d rather Americans believe that firearms are the problem, not the psychopaths who use them. But the truth is, more often than not, guns save lives. That’s not just a marketing slogan. It’s a fact.

The gun control lobby loves to promise safety, but all it’s really delivered is more victims. Disarmed citizens, soft targets, and a culture of helplessness. The left has built a society where law-abiding people are told to sit still, pray for mercy, and wait for the cops—while criminals do whatever they want with whatever weapon they can get their hands on.

Guns, knives, machetes, acid, bombs—you name it—evil will always find a tool. But the difference between life and death is what good people have at their disposal. Thankfully, we live in a country where the right to bear arms still exists—and millions of Americans take that responsibility seriously.

Louisville Shooter Connor Sturgeon Was Star Athlete but Suffered ‘Multiple Concussions’

By New York Post. The man suspected of killing four and injuring nine at the Old National Bank in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, was a star athlete in high school who allegedly suffered so many concussions he wore a helmet at basketball games. . .

Back when he was a freshman at the Floyd Central High School in Floyds Knobs, Indiana, Sturgeon was an all-round athlete, playing basketball, football and running track.

As his father was the head coach of the team, a former classmate told The Daily Beast Sturgeon was known as “Mr. Floyd Central.”

However, the classmate, who asked to remain anonymous, noted Sturgeon oddly wore a helmet while playing basketball due to multiple concussions he suffered while playing football. . .

“We played football together in eighth grade. He was out most of the year because he had multiple concussions,” he said. “Then he had a couple more in high school.” (Read more from “Louisville Shooter Connor Sturgeon Was Star Athlete but Suffered ‘Multiple Concussions’” HERE)
