[FoxNews] An undocumented immigrant charged with wounding two people minutes apart in northern Kansas City, Mo., reportedly told investigators he heard “voices” telling him to shoot, and that the gun wouldn’t fire if “they are good people.”
Arnoldo Pompa-Rascon was charged Tuesday with four felonies, including assault and armed criminal action, in the Friday night shootings that wounded a motorcyclist and another man as he pulled into his driveway.
The shootings occurred about an hour after popular tattoo artist Russell Fisk, 30, was fatally shot inside a BMW. No criminal charges have been filed in his death. Court documents filed in the other two shootings say Pompa-Rascon told police he shot a man in a "luxurious" car.
Fisk, a tattoo artist at Black Card Tattoo, died from a gunshot wound to his head, FOX4 KC reported.
A probable cause document stated that, as police were investigating Fisk's shooting, they received calls on another shooting. A man told authorities he was riding his motorcycle when he heard a gunshot and saw he had been struck. He said he saw a silver sedan drive by.
Following that shooting, officers were alerted to another shooting in Clay County. The victim told investigators he had pulled into his driveway when he noticed a silver sedan stop at his residence. The victim said a man asked him a question but he could not understand what it was because the man spoke Spanish. The victim walked away and was then shot in the chest by the man. The victim said he returned fire but it was not immediately clear if he hit the suspect.
On Tuesday, a man called police saying someone was attempting to steal his truck. The man held the suspect at gunpoint until police came and arrested the suspect, Pompa-Rascon.
Pompa-Rascon claimed he spoke Spanish and was “determined to be an illegal immigrant from Mexico and had been previously documented as having crossed the border illegally four prior times, records state,” NBC 12 reported.
Pompa-Rascon was picked out of a six-person line-up from one of the shooting victims who identified him as the man who shot him.
FOX4 DC reported Pompa-Rascon admitted to the shootings and said “voices told him to shoot” -- but that his gun would not work if they were “good” people.
Possibly this is true, in which case he is criminally insane and needs to spend a goodly period of time on the prison psych ward before being sent permanently back to Mexico, or he is lying and needs to punished accordingly. But first, could someone check to see if he is connected to MS-13 or any of the Mexican drug gangs?
Bond is set at $1 million. No attorney is listed for Pompa-Rascon in online court records.

I like the term illegal alien. Folks who think of themselves as politically correct would use the term undocumented immigrant, or just immigrant. It seems many of them have difficulty acknowledging that these so-called immigrants are here illegally and so I am deeply suspicious of their motives.
You can say criminal illegal alien. It might be redundant but I won't argue.

Once again, we must know all the details about how the shooter got his hands on the gun. More and more often we are finding that someone in law enforcement or somewhere in the government dropped the ball, sometimes in highly suspicious circumstances.

Piers Morgan already bloviating how "thoughts and prayers" didn't do the victims any good, so I guess CA or IL level gun laws will fix everything. Oh, wait ...

I read reports that a substitute pulled the fire alarm to get people out. Seems to me sending a crowd of kids into the hallways when the shooter had a sawed-off shot gun could have turned into a nightmare quickly.
Just a matter of time before a school shooter pulls the fire alarm and hits the crowd coming out the doors.
I hope schools have thought over this sort of thing.

Weapons: Shotgun. 38 revolver. Belonged legally to the parents.
2 police resource officers there one critical wounded, and one random patroller. Status unknown. But apparently they were known and targeted.
So lefties, shut the F up about assault weapons, semiautomatic weapons, and gun control. Ankid with his dad's shotgun and a revolver did this. It's not the weapon. Its not the gun laws. Get that into your thick heads.
This is a school security problem. Limit access, arm and train staff on a voluntary basis for concealed carry. Single point of entry with an armed presence at all times.

FYI; Facebook account shows Atheist, communist insignias, iron cross, but no other red flag items. Watch the news push this aside as fast as they can, it doesn't fit their agenda, and indeed invalidates it regarding assault weapons as the problem.
Shotgun and handgun are superior at CQB and room clearing. I was wondering when one of these mad assassins would figure it out. AR15 wrong for CQB. The Florida used "assault weapons" and killed far fewer. Makes the entire Assault Weapons Ban irrelevant, and shows just how incorrect it was.

According to the eyewitnesses and the residents of the city, the festivities broke out late on Wednesday night in some key parts of the city.

Unconfirmed reports indicate that three foreign engineers have also bit the dust after a rocket fired by the Taliban snuffies struck their compound.
This comes as the local officials and the ministry of defense said Wednesday that the city has been fully cleared of the Taliban snuffies although they added that the hunt is underway for the remaining snuffies who may have hidden in some parts of the city as well as its outskirts.
In the meantime, the local residents are saying that the snuffies may have launched the latest attack from the residential areas close to the government compounds.
According to reports, the snuffies have attacked the intelligence compound, the police commandment, as well as the central prison.

[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A new video of the Afghan Air Force shows the compilation of a series of precision airstrikes carried out with the help of the laser-guided bombs.
According to the coalition forces in Afghanistan, the Afghan Air Force pilots have been dropping laser guided bombs on enemy targets throughout the southern half of Afghanistan since March 22, 2018.
This precision strike capability limits the adversaries ability to use densely populated areas for sanctuary and helps to prevent civilian casualties.
The Afghan Air Force for the first time used the bomb to target a Taliban compound in Farah province last month.
“On March 22, the Afghan Air Force tasked the A-29 squadron to destroy a Taliban compound in Farah. The Afghan attack pilots were equipped with both guided and unguided bombs, and elected to employ the GBU-58 laser-guided bomb to avoid collateral damage,” according to a report by Resolute Support Mission.
This comes as efforts are underway to boost the capabilities of the Afghan armed forces, particularly the Air Forces.
“Key pieces that you’re seeing is that the Afghan Air Force itself, one of the more lethal organizations they have, and one that we’re looking to triple in size by 2023, is conducting significantly more air operations in direct support of the ANDSF on the battlefield, to the tune of 500 more sorties this year than they did the year before,” said U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Lance Bunch, director of future operations, Resolute Support, in a December 2017 press conference.

Ten takfiris were killed in an exchange of fire with army forces during raids in northern and central Sinai, the front man said in a video showing footage and photos of the operation, which was published on his official Facebook page.
Police forces killed another nine takfiris in the North Sinai capital city of El-Arish, Colonel Tamer El-Refaie added.
Twenty criminal runaways and suspects have also been arrested.
The Arabic word "takfiri" refers to Death Eater Sunni Moslems who accuse other Moslems of being infidels, often as a justification for using violence against them.
The army operations are part of Operation Sinai 2018, which involves the army, navy, air force and police, and was launched in February to target "terrorist and criminal elements and organizations" in northern and central Sinai, parts of the Nile Delta and the Western Desert.
The statement is the 22nd communiqué released by the Armed Forces since the launch of Operation Sinai 2018.
The air force, which has been conducting Arclight airstrikes since the operation began, destroyed a vehicle loaded with weapons near the western border, the statement added.
Security forces also destroyed "a number of underground hideouts" and three tunnels used by forces of Evil in North Sinai as well as a weapons cache in the central part of the peninsula.
Military engineers discovered and destroyed three bombs planted to target forces at operation sites, the statement added.
Security forces also discovered and destroyed six farms used to grow illegal narcotics in central Sinai.
They also intercepted vehicles smuggling drugs near the country's western and southern borders.
Meanwhile, ...back at the buffalo wallow, Yellow Wolf clutched at his chest and fell from his horse... security forces foiled an attempt by 25 people of different nationalities from illegally crossing the country's southern border, and 401 people of diffrent nationalities from illegally crossing the country's western borders.
The armed forces has dispatched food convoys to distribute large quantities of food and other necessary goods to citizens in north and central Sinai to meet their needs especially during the month of Ramadan.
Their deaths bring the total of those killed since the beginning of the operation to at least 296 including 35 military personnel, according to Rooters calculations based on military statements.

[Al Jazeera] The Mighty Pak Army announced it killed a senior member of the rebel group Laskhar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) in a raid in the province of Balochistan...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran.

A senior military intelligence officer was killed and four soldiers were maimed on Thursday during the operation targeting Salman Baldeni, Balochistan regional chief of LeJ in the thriving provincial capital, Quetta.
According to the army, Baldeni was "involved in the killing of over 100 innocent personnel of the Hazara ...a grouping of Dari-speaking people of Sino-Tibetan descent inhabiting Afghanistan and Pakistain. They are predominantly Shia Moslems and not particularly warlike, which makes them favored targets... community".

[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A jacket wallah targeted the vehicle of the Pak security forces in Nowshera area of the country with preliminary reports indicating at least 15 have been killed or maimed.
The incident took place this afternoon after a suicide bomber detonated his explosives near the vehicle of the Pak forces near Nowshera’s Mall Road.
A security official Nadeem Bukhtari has said at least one person was killed and fourteen others have sustained injuries in the attack.
He said the maimed individuals have been shifted to military as well as the civilian hospital but there is no words regarding their health condition.
Another security official has said the vehicle which was targeted in the attack belonged to the Frontier Corps ...a provincial paramilitary force. Total manpower is about 80,000. They are tasked to help local law enforcement in the maintenance of law and order, and to carry out border patrol and a..the Antwerp-based Salafist organization that had campaigned to introduce Sharia law to Belgium before single-handedly making Belgium the highest per capita supplier of jihadis to Syria in Europe.

No individual or group has so far grabbed credit behind the attack.
However, a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package... the Pak Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... , Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP), factions mostly claim responsibility behind such attacks.

They should have some kind of wheel they spin to figure out which ISIS execution method will be their fate. If they are unwilling to spin it, any aggrieved family will get to choose for them.
Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) A civilian was maimed in a kaboom, southeast of Baghdad, a police source was quoted saying on Thursday.
Speaking to AlSumaria News, the source said, "a bomb, placed near stores in al-Mada’in district, southeast of Baghdad, went off, in the afternoon, injuring a civilian, who was passing when the kaboom occurred."
Security troops, according to the source, who preferred anonymity, "transferred the injured to nearby hospital for treatment. Investigations were conducted."
Also, a comment on the "Palestinian" doctors who got shot: I would not be the least surprised if they were shot by Hamas simply to try to make Israel look bad. Notwithstanding, if Israeli soldiers actually shot these doctors, they need to go to jail for as long as Palestinians who kill Israelis go to jail.
There are lots of them, some where the victim gets down from the stretcher to trade places with one of the stretcher bearers. We had an article about one of those recently.
a comment on the "Palestinian" doctors who got shot:
What about Palestinian “doctors” who are members of Hamas’s fighting wing, gorb? Or its politburo? Fifty of the 60 shot dead on Monday were Hamasniks according to Hamas, with three more members of Islamic Jihad. The photojournalist shot on the first day of this thing was, as I recall, eventually revealed to be an active member of Hamas, which had supported his education and provided his legitimate credentials as employed by a Hamas newspaper.
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have deployed the country’s missile defense system Iron Dome after air attack sirens went off in the Israel-controlled Golan Heights on the border with Syria due to a false alarm.
The Israeli military stated that it was a false alarm that triggered missile sirens in the Golan Heights. Earlier, locals reported hearing kabooms at the time of the alert.
The IDF front man said that an investigation was underway and warned that "the reports regarding an aircraft that was identified and intercepted are false."
It should be noted that the reports regarding an aircraft that was identified and intercepted are false Yeah, we heard that
Tensions on the border have been running high recently, with the latest incident occurring on May 10 when Iranian forces in Syria launched missiles at Israel which were intercepted by the Iron Dome, according to Tel Aviv. It prompted Israel to attack Iranian targets in Syria in what became the most intensive strike into Syria since the start of the civil war in the country.
Frictions between Tel Aviv and Tehran have been increasing of late, with Israel accusing Iran of having a military presence in Syria. Tehran has refuted these claims as groundless, though admitting sending military advisors to train troops loyal to Damascus.
Following reports in the media that Iran was preparing a response to April’s alleged Israeli attacks on Iranian facilities in Syria, the IDF announced its defense systems were "on high alert for an attack," due to what it said was "irregular activity of Iranian forces in Syria."

The strive to enlist more fighters and annex smaller factions was coupled with deals to purchase weapons and ammunition from local armed militias.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Ottoman Turkish military has fully blocked the Syrian Arab Army’s path to Idlib after they established several observation posts around the province.
According to a recent report from the Astana Peace Conference, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund.... and Russia have agreed to allow the latter to construct an observation point around the Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham held areas in Jisr al-Shughour and the al-Ghaab Plain.
Not long after the agreement, the Ottoman Turkish military not only visited these areas, but also, established new observation points to block the Syrian Army’s future offensives.
In early April, a preliminary agreement was put in place that would allow the Syrian Army and Russian military to attack and fully capture Jisr al-Shughour, northeast Latakia, the al-Ghaab Plain.
However, there's more than one way to stuff a chicken... Turkey would later renege on this deal, as the Syrian and Russian forces were amassing troops in northern Latakia for the upcoming assault.
