Parishioners Flee: Mass Shooting In Ames, Iowa!

Mass shooting in Iowa.

It never stops.

The spurned lover extracts revenge on the person who hurt the relationship. The terrorist decided to launch an attack on a place where he knew the victim would go.

He decided to take out not only the former lover but a friend. The terrorist committed suicide before the law could take him. This incident happened in Ames, Iowa.

On the night of President Joe Biden speaking of the plague of gun violence, the shooting happened. The man was older than the victim so I am guessing a possible pedophilia thing going on. Who knows?

The president, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Karen Reynolds, Sen. Karen Grassley (R-IA), Sen. Karen Ernst (R-IA) and the four U.S. Representatives for Iowa were informed.

The shooting at the Cornerstone Church was the result of a "domestic situation" between the shooter, a 33-year-old man from the city of Boone, and one of the women, said Story County Sheriff Paul Fitzgerald at a news conference Friday. The victims, Eden Montang, 22, and Vivian Flores, 21, both students at Iowa State University. One of the women had previously been in a relationship with the terrorist.

A third woman escaped unharmed, he said, adding the shooter used a 9mm handgun.

"This is a very tragic event for our community but I think also nationwide as we experience violent incidents nationwide, and it only seems to increase," said Capt. Nicholas Lennie of the Story County Sheriff's Office.

The shooting came the same night President Joe Biden addressed the nation on the need for stricter gun laws. Gun massacres have left the country shaken and prompted new discussions about how to prevent them. The most recent incident was just a day earlier, when a man bought an AR-15 style rifle and attacked an Oklahoma hospital, killing four people and then himself.

In Iowa, authorities got a call of shots fired in the parking lot at 6:51 p.m., they said.

The shooter arrived in a pickup truck "and the chaos began," Fitzgerald said.

"He went right into action when he got there," he said. "He was there for a specific purpose, which he accomplished."

The terrorist had been arrested May 31 on charges of third-degree harassment and impersonating a public official, all related to his recent breakup with one of the victims, Fitgerald said. He posted bond, Fitzgerald said, and was scheduled to be back in court June 10.

The shooting happened during the first summer night of a youth Bible study program, Fitzgerald said. About 80 high school and college students were in the church auditorium.

The shooter made no apparent effort to go into the church, Fitzgerald said.

Story County sheriff department say terrorist stalked ex-lover.

It was a "targeted act of violence," he said. The shooter approached the women as they walked toward the church, fired "several rounds" and the two were dead "in a matter of seconds."

The shooter appears to have acted alone, he said.

At the terrorist's home, authorities found an AR-15 rifle with ammunition that "played no part in this event whatsoever," Fitzgerald said. In the shooter's vehicle, they found more 9mm ammunition he bought an hour before the shooting.

"Our hearts break for all involved, and we are praying for everyone affected," Pastor Mike Vance said in a statement. "Our Ministry staff are available to support all those impacted, and we will continue to fully cooperate with authorities as they complete their full investigation."

Reynolds wrote on social media saying that she will pray not stop gun violence.

"Tonight's act of senseless violence took the lives of two innocent victims at their place of worship," she said. "We ask that Iowans pray for the victims and their families, the members of Cornerstone Church, and the entire Ames community."

Ames is about 30 miles north of Des Moines. It is home to the Iowa State University.

You're not safe in the school, the concert, the hospital, the church, the casino, the bus station, the subway, the light rail train, the buses, the malls, the local big box store, the political rally, the protest rally, the women's center for reproductive surgeries, the mosque, the synagogue, the state buildings, the workplace, the gas station, the family picnic, the food truck rally, the funerals, the birthday parties, the graduations, the wedding, the televised events, the sporting events and many more events that have some terrorist with a firearm. Domestic violence, suicide, racism, culture war inspired, politically motivated and international operative inspired are types of gun violence.

Personal vendetta is possible motive. So once again, spurned by life. The nice guy snapped. The shooters who were fired by their employer. The shooters who were rejected by love interests. The shooters who hate. The shooters who felt the need to carry out a plot for name recognition. All of these entities are motivated. They have no mental illness. They know what they are doing.

I usually do the same copy and paste, the poll and the obvious reactions like most Americans who hear about another mass shooting. This time I want to let you know what your tasks are to stay alive if you are involved in a mass shooting.

An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.

The shooter is motivated within seconds to take out as many people as he/she can.

What to do to protect your life.

1. Run - If you hear sounds like firecrackers, popping sounds or suspicious activities around a large gathering (i.e. malls, stores, clubs, public gatherings), if you can flee, run away from the shooter. Do not run in a straight path of the sight. Move around and zig-zag if possible to keep yourself out the line of fire. It's best to not film a shooter commiting the act. If you are willing to risk your life for a viral video, more power to you but its best to stay out of the line of fire by running away.

2. Hide - If you are involved in an active shooting, you must barricade yourself in a room and keep doors locked, lights off, phones on silent. Do not go into restrooms, lockers and kitchens. Those are most likely places where shooters often go. If you can barricade a room to prevent a shooter from getting in, it eliminate the opportunity for the shooter to get through. Make sure you keep your voice low when you're involved in mass shooting. Call 9-1-1 if you can.

Another church and domestic violence shooting.

3. Fight - If you are willing to risk your life or willing to film the incident, you have no choice but to fight. Make sure you grab something that is powerful enough to disarm a shooter. Do not confront a shooter in the midst of sight. Make yourself not visible if you're trying to fight. Do not think being a "good guy with a gun" is going to stop a bad guy. The cops don't see good guys trying to stop bad guys. They see active shooters and they will shoot anyone who is armed regardless of the matter. If you're ready to fight, be prepared to die. It's best to not be easily seen if you're trying to stop a shooter. But if you are willing to go hero, you could die a hero or an idiot.

There are 29 Republicans governors in 28 states and the Northern Mariana Islands.

Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa,  Massachusetts, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Northern Mariana Islands, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina. South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia have Republican governors. Of the 29, only six of them may be willing to change gun laws but of course, they chicken out at the last minute. 

The Republican are only seven seats away from a constitutional majority. A majority that could make a constitutional amendment to fundamentally change laws.

What normally happens in a relationship that turns sour?

The spurn lover would extract revenge by getting a gun and shooting the ex-lover.

The spurn lover would move on with another relationship. Regardless ex-lovers may live or may die from it.

The spurn lover would find some way to make the ex-lover's life miserable.

All of these above.

None of these above.

Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms. 

I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.

When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidently shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3. The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.

I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.

I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.

President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However the two Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back. 

The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

So in closing, expect more.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.
