BREAKING: Targeted Killing at Oregon High School
Reynolds High School, the only high school in Troutdale, Oregon, is the scene of the nation’s most recent school shooting. The situation is now believed to be stable.
Here is what we do know.
At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that this was an attempted mass murder or spree killing. It appears to have been a targeted killing. That the attacker’s body was found in a bathroom suggests that this was a murder/suicide (for reasons that psychiatrists or psychologists would likely better explain, public murderers seem to prefer some privacy for their own suicides) .
Perhaps the attacker left behind something explaining the decision to target this one student. If so, we should know in the days ahead.
The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that the situation is now stabilized at Reynolds High School in Troutdale.It will be some time, of course, before the details of this incident are known, and we can expect for their to be copious amounts of misinformation and spin dished out as fact.
Scott Anderson, the chief of the Troutdale Police Department, confirmed the deaths and called the events a “tragic day” for the community.
Troutdale Sgt. Carey Kaer told Fox News that the victim was a male student and the shooter was a teenage male, but it is not known whether the gunman was a student at the school.
Kaer said the victim was shot inside the school’s gymnasium and the shooter’s body was located by a police robot in a bathroom. He added that there are no other victims or current threats to the public.

Principal Bans Patriotic Song From Preschool Celebration
New York’s Public School 90 principal Greta Hawkins doesn’t seem to be able to help herself. She has again banned patriotic singing from a preschool celebration to usher the youngsters into kindergarten. The students were going to march into the auditorium carrying American flags and singing the song “Stand Up for the Red, White and Blue,” teachers said.

TWO SUSPECTS ALLEGEDLY KILL 3 THEN COMMIT SUICIDE
Police Killed in Las Vegas Ambush » VIDEO
Two police officers were gunned down by a man and a woman today as they were eating lunch in a Las Vegas pizza restaurant, officials said.
Two police officers were gunned down by a man and a woman today as they were eating lunch in a Las Vegas pizza restaurant, officials said.
"They were ambushed," Sheriff Doug Gillespie of the Las Vegas Metro Police Department said at a news conference this afternoon, though he said it was not yet known why the two were targeted.
Witnesses said the two yelled "This is a revolution" during the attack, but officials said they had not yet identified a motive for the shooting.
"We don't know anything about the suspects yet," Las Vegas police spokesman Larry Hadfield told The Associated Press.
The couple were later found dead, after they had shot and killed another person at a Walmart store nearby, the sheriff said.
The two cops were identified as Officer Alyn Beck, 42, who had been with the department since 2001 and leaves behind a wife and three children, and Officer Igor Soldo, 32, who joined the force in 2006 and is survived by a wife and baby.
"It's a tragic day, it's a very, very difficult day," Gillespie said. "We still have a community to protect. But we will do it with our heads held high. It is truly a tragic day."
The two police officers were sitting in a CiCi's Pizza restaurant eating lunch late this morning when the man and woman walked in and opened fire on them.
"What precipitated this event we do not know," Gillespie said. "My officers were simply having lunch when the shooting started."
Both of the officers were hit, but one was able to return fire, he said.
The suspects then fled to the Walmart across the street, where they fatally shot a person inside and then killed themselves in an apparent suicide pact, the sheriff said.
The female suspect shot the male and then shot herself, Gillespie said.
The identities of the two shooters and of the third victim had not been released this evening.
O'Reilly: 'Not Fair to Bergdahl' to Say He Was a Taliban Collaborator
Bill O'Reilly joined Fox and Friends this morning to give us his take on the latest developments in the Bowe Bergdahl prisoner swap controversy. A report by Fox News' James Rosen Thursday stated that Bergdahl converted to Islam at one point during his captivity and declared himself a "mujahid."
"Our sources cannot confirm that at all. It wouldn't be fair to the sergeant to make those charges," said O'Reilly, adding that "we do know he was a deserter." Tune in tonight at 8/11p ET as Rosen joins O'Reilly to discuss his reporting. O'Reilly believes people don't fully understand how bad the five Taliban leaders who were released from Guantanamo Bay really are. "You don't exchange war criminals for a suspected deserter. That is not a good deal for this country on any level," said O'Reilly, noting that the former detainees should be tried in The Hague for war crimes committed while the Taliban was in power prior to 9/11. O'Reilly likened the Taliban leaders to Nazis, recalling that they were responsible for beheadings of women for going to a dance, among many other crimes. The Factor host believes President Obama "doesn't understand the groundswell against him" for making the deal, calling it a "victory" for the Taliban. He said he has sympathy for the Bergdahl family and understands the concept of "leave no one behind," but reiterated that he still would not have made the deal. "This is war. And people die. And more people will die from this exchange." |
Hundreds of paratroops re-create Normandy airborne assault Published: June 8, 201
CAUQUIGNY, France — More than 600 American and allied paratroops jumped onto a field outside this tiny farming town in rural Normandy Sunday, re-creating a daylight version of the airborne invasion here 70 years ago.
German forces kept the Americans who jumped into this drop zone from achieving some of their objectives. But the battle was also marked by bravery. A memorial to Charles Deglopper, an 82nd Airborne Division soldier whose actions earned him the Medal of Honor, stands alongside the road near where the paratroops landed Sunday.
The airborne assault by more than 13,000 soldiers of the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions on June 6, 1944, enabled the success of the beach invasion by thousands of Allied ships and entire armies of troops hours later.

Black Bear Cub Seen Wandering Near Day Care in Florida
Wildlife officials in Central Florida are keeping their eyes out for a black bear cub that was spotted wandering near a neighborhood day care.
The bear, seen in Holly Hill on Friday, scaled fences and climbed telephone poles as employees at the day care brought the children inside.
"I was watching," Miri Bholai told ABC affiliate WFTV in Orlando. "I hope they protect the day care over there."
The day care employees called the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which deemed the bear wasn't a threat.
"He was pretty much just chilling out in the tree when I saw him," Bholai said. "He was just hanging out in the tree just sitting there."
The bear eventually made his way back into the woods.
In Daytona Beach, Fla., last week, a man snapped photos of a black bear lying in a hammock in someone's back yard.

READ MORE
BAGHDAD — A series of car bombs exploded across Iraq's capital Saturday night, killing at least 52 people in a day of violence that saw militants storm a university in the country's restive Anbar province and take dozens hostage, authorities said.
The attacks in Baghdad largely focused on Shiite neighborhoods, underscoring the sectarian violence now striking at Iraq years after a similar wave nearly tore the country apart following the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein. Now with U.S. troops gone, Iraq founds itself fighting on fronts across the country.

Report: Bergdahl Declared Himself a ‘Warrior for Islam’
We’re learning more details about the circumstances surrounding Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s captivity every day, and today is certainly no exception. Fox News’ James Rosen is out with a new report that shines some light on what Bergdahl’s five years with his captors were like, from converting to Islam and declaring himself a warrior for Islam to being kept in a metal cage like an animal.
U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl at one point during his captivity converted to Islam, fraternized openly with his captors and declared himself a "mujahid," or warrior for Islam, according to secret documents prepared on the basis of a purported eyewitness account and obtained by FoxNews. The reports indicate that Bergdahl's relations with his Haqqani captors morphed over time, from periods of hostility, where he was treated very much like a hostage, to periods where, as one source told Fox News, "he became much more of an accepted fellow" than is popularly understood. He even reportedly was allowed to carry a gun at times.

It Was Probably Never About Bergdahl
Everything about this horrendous Bowe Bergdahl affair reminds us just how out of touch President Obama is with ordinary Americans and American sensibilities.
Just look at what we've learned. Obama reportedly expected that the American people would meet his egregiously lopsided deal exchanging five Osama bin Ladens for one Benedict Arnold with a "euphoric" response? That is breathtaking.
Even if Bergdahl had been a heroic figure, I dare say the public would have objected to Obama's giving up five of the most dangerous terrorists in the world in exchange for Bergdahl and, in the process, negotiating with terrorists.
Obama obviously doesn't share the ordinary American's concern about jihadists, as he has bent over backward to close the prison facility at Guantanamo Bay, tried to sanitize the term "terrorism" from our vernacular and often pretended we are not in a war with Islamic jihadi.

US Agency Still Flying Migrant Families to Arizona
PHOENIX June 7, 2014 (AP)By BOB CHRISTIE Associated Press Arizona — angry about the federal government sending from Texas to Arizona immigrants who are in the country illegally — said Friday it will rush federal supplies to a holding center in the southern part of the state that is housing migrant children.Gov. Jan Brewer spokesman Andrew Wilder said conditions at the holding center are so dire that federal officials have asked the state to immediately ship the medical supplies to the center. In addition, Wilder said, the regional director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency was being dispatched to Arizona to help deal with the crisis.Wilder said reports from consulates that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was stopping the program to fly migrant families to Arizona and then bus them to Phoenix wereincorrect. Instead, the program that has shipped unknown thousands of adult migrants and their children to Arizona since last month shows no sign of stopping, he said. STORY
