‘Active Shooter’ has no gun, network news narrative failure

The report went out across the network news this morning, “Active Shooter at Ohio State”

The real story? The Ohio State terrorist was a Somali refugee and a legal permanent resident of the United States.  Thank you immigration system.

He was a student at Ohio State.  I bet your tax dollars paid his tuition, paid for the car he drove and probably the knife he used.

The report went out across the network news this morning, “Active Shooter at Ohio State”

The real story? The Ohio State terrorist was a Somali refugee and a legal permanent resident of the United States.  Thank you immigration system.

He was a student at Ohio State.  I bet your tax dollars paid his tuition, paid for the car he drove and probably the knife he used.

The legal immigrant from Somalia drove his car into a crowd  and then attacked bystanders with a knife.  How did it end? He was shot and killed in a gun free zone by a good guy with a gun, a police officer.

Eleven people were treated at local hospitals for stab wounds or injuries from being struck by the vehicle; none of those injuries appear to be life-threatening.

Keep calm and carry. There are more like him coming to a school or mall near you. The only way to stop a bad guy with a car and a knife is a good guy with a gun.
