Dallas Morning News Photojournalist Tom Fox will get a Pulitzer for this picture:

[Dennis Donovan]

Regardless of distance away, the gunman made eye contact with the camera. Fox could've been gunned down in the next second.

Both the camera and the take down shot? WTF are those things on his waist belt?

[blugbox]

7. Pardon my ignorance, but who is the gunman?

10. Brian Isaack Clyde:

According to U.S. Attorney Erin Nealy Cox, 300 federal employees were inside the building when the suspect opened fire. One of them suffered minor injuries while she was taking cover from the shooting.
...
The incident began at about 8:40 a.m. on the south side of the federal building, along Jackson Street where the suspected shooter fired an unknown number of shots at the lobby before exchanging gunfire with Federal Protective Service officers guarding the building.

In a video obtained by NBC 5, the gunman can be seen firing shots at the south side of the courthouse before running into a nearby parking lot where he collapsed.
...
References to incels, or the “involuntary celibate” internet community that is prominent on extreme misogynist message boards, are frequently posted in memes on Clyde’s page.

Clyde posted a picture of a swastika on a green flag, calling it a “solution” on April 29. He also often posted anti-U.S. government conspiracy theories, including posts about secret pedophile rings and CIA experiments.

11. Wow, I completely missed this today.

I was at work, but usually we would hear about things like this. We have TVs on in the floor kitchens, the cafe and the open spaces, but somehow missed it . Thanks for filling me in.

14. Same here. I was pretty busy and out of it today.

Surprisingly, I did watch the local news for a few minutes and they did not mention a peep about that situation. Sad to think this is becoming so commonplace that it is no longer leading the news for hours.

I simply can't imagine what it's like to be in the middle of a situation like that. I had two brothers that did military combat, but I did not serve.

[smirkymonkey]

16. That is what I am thinking.

Attacks by gun nutters are too commonplace to make headline news. It is now just buried in the "metro" section. What a sick country we have become.

[Blue_true]

17. Yep. nt

[RT Atlanta]

8. another fucking white man ....

no doubt aggrieved about all the fucking 'in justices' the world has foisted upon him.

how many fucking WHITE GUY home-grown terrorists is our country willing to tolerate with the gun cult killing folks?!?

C'mon USA - let's move the needle and bend that arc toward justice sooner rather than later!!!!

9. +1... from a white guy

[corbettkroehler]

12. +1 From Another White Guy

You're right. This is the most insidious, insipid form of white privilege.

As to why more isn't done, I was dying to see forceful action from Obama. As for tЯump, well, domestic terrorists vote.

13. If he hadn't blown so much $$ on guns an ammo, his quality of life would've been better...

... and he wouldn't have felt the need to strike out against "those people" who took so much away from him.

[Blue_true]

15. Thank the stars those federal officers shot it out with him.

With 300 people in that building, he could have had a massive body count if he had gotten in.

18. What an asshole
