Muslim driver tries to run down cops at Minneapolis Airport
2015-05-01
[Gates of Vienna] One man was hospitalized Saturday night after an officer-involved shooting at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

After the shots were fired, police blocked off a portion of Terminal 1 for several hours to investigate.

According to the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, which was called in to help with the investigation, airport police were responding to a report of suspicious persons in the terminal's car rental ramp around 9:30 p.m.

As the officers were walking on the second level of the parking ramp, a vehicle deliberately drove at them. A press release states that police shot at the vehicle. The driver was taken to a nearby hospital. His condition is not known. Authorities identified the suspect Sunday as 36-year-old Abdulkadir Sheikh Mahmoud. Once he's out of the hospital, he'll be facing aggravated assault charges.

Sheriff Rich Stanek said officers were interacting with a vehicle when a second vehicle intentionally drove at officers who were on foot. The suspect in the vehicle, identified as Mahmoud, attempted to run over the officers and he was shot. Authorities said the suspect drove at officers without notice or provocation.
Now, why does this seems so familiar?
The release also states that an officer was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Stanek said they believe the incident was isolated and does not appear to have any ties to homeland security.
Of course not.

#3  I wonder if the driver was shouting Allahu akbar as he charged.

less than a half day of investigation and they are ready to make that determination? Fire the investigators, and Sheriff Stanek

#1  it would be cheaper and easier if he just dies. however that is the humanity that separates us from our islamist enemy that he was medically treated and not killed.

what we could do is ban sharia as an alternate legal system not a religion, the congress would have the right to do this
