West Coast Shootings, Sacramento, Seattle

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Gun control supporters have got to be foaming at the mouth with excitement, provided new fuel for their anti-American campaign of confiscating the guns of Americans has just emerged with shootings at a high school near Seattle, Washington, and an unrelated shooter in Sacramento, California.  It is also just in time to turn everyone's eyes away from the Islamic terrorism against a Canadian Soldier, and Canada's Parliament, in recent days, as well as other news events that politicians would rather you just not linger upon.

In Sacramento, police were investigating a suspicious vehicle at a motel. A Sacramento County sheriff's deputy ended up shot outside of a motel, and has died from the gunshot to his forehead. The gunman remains on the loose.

The search for the gunman has resulted in two Placer County Sheriff's deputies being shot.  Both deputies have been hospitalized.

The gunman is a Hispanic male in his 30s with short hair.  The shooter's companion is a woman in her 20s, and she has been taken into custody.

Two area schools have been evacuated, and a number of streets in the south Auburn area have been closed.  The shooter attempted to carjack a vehicle during his escape from the area, and shot the driver when they refused to give up their keys.

The gunman succeeded in carjacking a vehicle on a subsequent attempt.  The Ford Mustang was later ditched, and the gunman carjacked a Ford F-150 truck.

The owner of the Ford F-150 said that the gunman approached him requesting his truck, helped him unhitch a trailer and then sped away with the truck.

Near Seattle, Washington, the shooter was a high school freshman, with no motive discovered at this time.  In addition to the death of the shooter, a female victim is also dead.  Police has not confirmed whether or not the female was a student.  Three other students were injured, and have been taken to a local hospital.  A fourth person was injured, but it is unknown if that person was a student.  Of the four injured persons, three are in critical condition, with gunshot wounds to the head.  The other person was shot in the jaw, is in serious condition, but is expected to survive.

According to the police, the gunman acted alone.

The anti-gun activists will scream that these shootings are important reasons to confiscate guns from law-abiding citizens, because as we know, if you make guns illegal, nobody will use them.  It worked so well with drugs, right?

Any call for gun control is an assault on Americanism, and an attack against America's identity.  Killers kill.  They always find a way to kill.  The best defense against shooters is guns in the hands of those that would stand against shooters.
