A woman pulled out a gun inside Dallas Love Field Airport late Monday morning and began shooting toward the ceiling, Dallas police say. The woman was confronted and shot by officers. No other injuries have been reported. Dallas Chief of Police Eddie Garcia said the woman was dropped off at the airport just before 11 a.m. and that once inside she went into a restroom and changed clothes.

Garcia said the woman exited the restroom wearing what a hoody, pulled out a gun and started firing several shots. Most of the shots, Garcia said, appeared to be directed toward the ceiling.

Officers inside the airport confronted the woman and shot her in her lower extremities. The woman was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital in an unknown condition. No further information about her or the motivation behind the shooting is known.

Cell phone video shared with NBC 5 showed travelers on the ground, behind chairs at the gates and sheltering in place. The investigation is ongoing. Agents with the Dallas FBI's field office were seen at the airport along with Dallas Police.

'Systemic failures' in Uvalde school massacre, report finds
Source: AP
UVALDE, Texas (AP) — Nearly 400 law enforcement officials rushed to mass shooting that left 21 people dead at a Uvalde elementary school but “systemic failures” created a chaotic scene that lasted more than an hour before the gunman was finally confronted and killed, according to a report from investigators released Sunday.

The nearly 80-page report obtained by multiple media outlets is the first to criticize both state and federal law enforcement, and not just local authorities in Uvalde, Texas, for the bewildering inaction by officers who massed in the hallway at Robb Elementary School. The report was written by an investigative committee from the Texas House of Representatives and released to family members Sunday.

The findings are the most complete account yet of the May 24 massacre in South Texas and the hesitant and haphazard response by heavily armed law enforcement as a gunman fired inside a fourth-grade classroom. According to the Texas Tribune, which reviewed the report ahead of its scheduled release to the public later Sunday, the overwhelming majority of responders at the school were federal and state law enforcement. That included nearly 150 U.S. Border Patrol agents and 91 state police officials, according to the Tribune.

The report by an investigative committee led by the Texas House of Representatives follows weeks of closed-door interviews with more than 40 people, including witnesses and law enforcement who were on the scene of the shooting. The committee had scheduled a private meeting with Uvalde families to discuss their findings before releasing the report to the public.

Breaking news:

FBI Building Attacked in Cincinnati
August 11, 2022

Introduction:
(Politico) An armed suspect attempted an attack on an FBI building in Cincinnati on Thursday morning, allegedly brandishing multiple weapons before leading FBI officials on a car chase.

“On August 11, 2022, at approximately 9:15 EST, the FBI Cincinnati Field Office had an armed subject attempt to breach the Visitor Screening Facility,” an FBI spokesperson told POLITICO. “Upon the activation of an alarm and a response by armed FBI special agents, the subject fled northbound onto Interstate 71.”

The situation was active until after 4:15 p.m. Eastern, when the county’s emergency management office announced that the law enforcement response and operations had ended.

According to an Ohio State Highway Patrol spokesperson, the chase ended in a corn field near Interstate 71 and State Route 73. Multiple reports say the subject of the chase exchanged fire with police in the field.

Interstate-71 was closed between State Routes 73 and 68 in Wilmington, Ohio, according to the local NBC affiliate. Portions of State Routes 73 and 380 were also closed. Traffic started moving on Interstate 71 again around 2 p.m., according to the Ohio Department of Transportation. Clinton County Emergency Management said State Route 73 was reopening “shortly” and announced that the lockdown had ended.

More Concerning the Attack on the FBI Office in Cincinatti
by Matt Shuham and Josh Kovensky
August 11, 2022

Extract:
(Talking Points Memo) The Times reported that investigators were probing apparent ties to extremist groups, including one — unnamed by the Times — that participated in the attack. The Times noted one video that appeared to show Shiffer at a pro-Trump rally in Washington, D.C. the night before the attack.

Truth Social User Posted About Killing Federal Agents


Travis View, a co-host of the QAnon Anonymous podcast, flagged that an account on Donald Trump’s Truth Social website shared Shiffer’s name and appeared to post about the attack a few minutes after it began — around the time the suspect would have been fleeing on the highway, according to police accounts.

“Well, I thought I had a way through bullet proof glass, and I didn’t,” the account wrote at 9:29 a.m. ET. “If you don’t hear from me, it is true I tried attacking the F.B.I., and it’ll mean either I was taken off the internet, the F.B.I. got me, or they sent the regular cops while”

The account had earlier reposted a meme showing Donald Trump saluting Marine One with the text, “RETRUTH TO IF YOU WANT PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP BACK IN OFFICE.”

caltrek’s comment: Sad to see yet another true believer of that sociopathic liar Donald Trump has lost his life due to his fanaticism.

8 Israelis wounded in Jerusalem shooting
Source: AP

JERUSALEM (AP) — A gunman opened fire at a bus near Jerusalem’s Old City early Sunday, wounding eight Israelis in a suspected Palestinian attack that came a week after violence flared up between Israel and militants in Gaza, police and medics said.

Two of the victims were in serious condition, including a pregnant woman with abdominal injuries and a man with gunshot wounds to the head and neck, according to Israeli hospitals treating them.

The shooting occurred as the bus waited in a parking lot near the Western Wall, which is considered the holiest site where Jews can pray.

Israeli police said forces were dispatched to the scene to investigate. Israeli security forces also pushed into the nearby Palestinian neighborhood of Silwan pursuing the suspected attacker.

Man dead after crashing car, opening fire near US Capitol, report says

Source: Independent UK

A man is reportedly dead after allegedly ramming his car into a barricade near the US Capitol, causing it to catch fire, before producing a weapon and shooting “indiscriminately” near the building.

The shocking scene was first reported early Sunday morning by PBS News’s Lisa Desjardins, citing multiple sources. US Capitol police has not yet released an official account of the attack; The Independent has reached out for comment and verification.

Agency sources did confirm the incident in a news release shortly after the PBS story broke, noting that the crash occurred around 4.00 eastern time. “At this time, it does not appear the man was targeting any Members of Congress, who are on recess, and it does not appear officers fired their weapons,” read the agency’s statement.

“When our officers heard the sound of gunfire, they immediately responded and were approaching the man when he shot himself. Nobody else was hurt,” it continued.

1 dead, 17 hurt in crash during fundraiser for fire victims
Source: AP
BERWICK, Pa. (AP) — One person was killed and another 17 people injured when a vehicle struck a crowd gathered at a Pennsylvania bar for a fundraiser for victims of a house fire that killed 10 earlier this month; the man police say was the driver was arrested shortly afterward in the beating death of his mother nearby.

The crash occurred at about 6:15 p.m. Saturday outside the Intoxicology Department bar in Berwick, which had been scheduled to hold an all-day fundraising event to benefit victims of the Aug. 5 blaze, that killed seven adults and three children in Nescopeck.

Pennsylvania State Police identified the driver as 24-year-old Adrian Oswaldo Sura Reyes of Nescopeck. He was arraigned early Sunday morning on two counts of criminal homicide.

Shortly after the crash was reported, troopers were called about a man “physically assaulting” a woman less than a mile away in Nescopeck. Troopers arrived to find that Sura Reyes had been arrested by local police and a woman was dead.
