As the Babylon Bee points out, the gun control (read: seizure) crowd and the lamestream media are having a tough time dealing with the killing of an attacker who started shooting up the Church of Christ in White Settlement [sic] TX yesterday. The Bee sez: News outlets...reminded the nation that they reserve the right to immediately bury mass shooting stories that don't help push their agenda. Outlets like CNN, MSNBC, and ABC News confirmed that they carefully look over the facts of a given case to see if it lines up with the correct opinions before deciding to push it incessantly for weeks on end.
If you think the Bee is making all that up, check out this "correction" which appeared this afternoon on the website of Canada's Global TV News.
During the Sunday morning service at the church, a man identified today as Keith Thomas Kinnunen, 43, of River Oaks TX, a small city near White Settlement, got up from his pew and approached someone at the back of the church before pulling out a gun and opening fire. Congregants screamed and ducked under pews, but one had the presence of mind to keep shooting video.
Another worship decided that shooting a gun would be better than shooting video. The hero of the day was Jack Wilson, a gentleman who is both a member of the church security team and a candidate for Hood County commissioner. He fired a single shot which killed the attacker instantly. Two members of the congregation, were also killed during the incident.
The late Mr Kinnunen has been described by an FBI official as a "relatively transient" person (whatever that means) with roots in the area. The TX Dept of Public Safety said he was from River Oaks, a suburb of Houston.
The FBI say he had a previous arrest record, but have not given any details. His motive is still "under investigation". Stay tuned... but don't hold your breath. You won't hear any more unless Mr Kinnunen turns out to have been a "white supremacist", of the type who would shoot up a white church in, errr, White Settlement TX.
