Terror Attack in Pennsylvania's State Capital?
2017-12-23
[PJ] Multiple law enforcement agencies are investigating a shooting spree in Pennsylvania's state capital of Harrisburg earlier today.

According to the area district attorney, it appears there were three sites where 51-year-old Ahmed Amin El-Mofty intentionally engaged police. One Pennsylvania State Trooper was injured.

The suspect was eventually shot and killed by police. Possible explosives were found on his body, which a bomb squad had to render inert.

El-Mofty has been identified as a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Turkey.

He had reportedly recently taken a trip to the Middle East.

Perhaps related, ISIS supporter Jalil Aziz
...who is in our archives as Jalil Ibn Ameer Aziz. A photo of the America-born miscreant can be seen here. He was arrested for tweeting out a list of U.S. military personnel for ISIS targetting using 57 Twitter accounts.
was sentenced to 12 years in prison today in Harrisburg.
Update from PennLive at 12:10 p.m. ET:
A device was found next to El-Mofty, but Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico said it ended up being "of no import."

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has joined the investigation.

Perfection (in cover-ups) takes time, Skidmark.

#1  Likely an Egyptian with Muslim Brotherhood ties who moved to Turkey and on to la la land in the Northeast US (who just recently traveled to the ME). Absolutely has AQ or ISIS intent... But, but we (liberal media and PA State Police) don't have a clue about his intent. All of this is so stupid...and they wonder how Trump got elected.
