[YOURCENTRALVALLEY] Three people are dead
Kori Ali Muhammad, 39, shouted "Allahu Akbar" as police tackled him to the ground after the shootings which were spread over four locations, Police Chief Jerry Dyer said. The victims appeared to be random, Dyer said. Shot Spotter detected the first gunshots around 10:45 a.m. Muhammad shot into a PG&E vehicle killing the passenger. The driver sped away and drove to Fresno Police headquarters. Muhammad continued walking and shot up a local resident but missed. Shortly after, he encountered another resident and shot and killed that person. He then continued to the area of Catholic Charities where he shot and killed a person in the parking lot. Shortly after, he was apprehended without police firing a shot. "All sixteen of these rounds were fired in less than a minute within four different locations," Dyer said. Officers responded within one minute of the first shots. Muhammad used a social media account -- in part -- to perpetuate an anti-white agenda. Dyer said the men who were killed are believed to have had no connection to Muhammad. Dyer also said it was too early to tell whether terrorism was a factor.
Muhammad is active on Facebook and Twitter and previously expressed his dislike of white people and anti-government sentiments in social media posts. His father, Vincent Taylor, told the LA Times on Tuesday that his son believed there was a race was
'I'm happy he was tossed in the clink You have the right to remain silent... ,' Taylor said. 'I would hope that whatever Kori tells [police,] they take him seriously and they start following up.'
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all... she said she didn't get the impression that her grandson held hatred towards any race. 'He would say something derogatory about anybody, didn't matter about the color,' she said. 'If he didn't like what they did, he didn't like what they did no matter the color.' The spree shooter has a length criminal record, including a dismissed felony charge of unlawful firearm possession in 2004.
Brian Levin, director of Cal State San Bernardino's Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism, referred to Muhammad as a 'violent black supremacist'. Sayed Ali Ghazvini, imam of the Islamic Cultural Center of Fresno, said Muhammad was not a member of his congregation and he did not recognize him.
