A police officer and two civilians died Friday after a man wearing hunting gear and armed with a "long gun" went on a shooting spree inside a Planned Parenthood clinic here, police confirmed Friday night.
It's
usually Christians who shoot people at Planned Parenthood clinics so I'm
guessing that will be the case in this particular incident. However I
don't expect to see that information widely reported by the news media
in America. Nor will the incident be regarded as a terrorist
attack. In America the word 'terrorism' is attached only to Muslims; rarely Christians.
Update:
ABC TV (USA) has proved me wrong. Two days after the terrorist attack the news anchor quoted somebody who refers to the incident as "domestic terrorism". Most news services, however, are still referring to the terrorist as merely 'the gunman' or 'the shooter'.
Also his ex-wife verifies that he is a devout Christian: “He believed wholeheartedly in the Bible. That’s what he always said; he read it cover to cover to cover.”
