From the article;

Sen. Martin Quezada tweeted that he witnessed a shooter in the area armed with an AR-15.

"I just witnessed an armed terrorist with an AR-15 shoot up Westgate," he wrote. "There are multiple victims."


Let's not waste any time gathering facts...Nope, just bust out the ole' 'Jump To Conclusions' mat and make s*** up.

The shooter filmed himself. His name is Armando Junior Hernandez.

This is part of the video the shooter was sharing on social media while they carried it out. They ended the video before it looks like he's going to shoot someone, so it's pretty disturbing even if not very graphic.

The video was on Twitter but is now down. It showed him preparing his rifle earlier in the day, stating his name and that he would be "The Westgate Shooter". He recorded himself opening fire randomly on people, and standing over at least one female victim he had already shot as she pleaded not to be shot again.

"You already got me, dude!"
Asking why he was doing this, he answered "Society is s***."

And of course,...the fact that Bloomberg just announced his 5 million dollar push here has NOTHING to do with this amazingly coincidental timing, eh?!

The police are reporting that there are only 3 victims known at this time, however, they are going from business to business at Westgate where they have asked people to shelter in place. Hopefully, no one else was hurt. Two people had very minor injuries, and one person was in critical condition.

At least one of the guys over on the BQG group on Facebook knows the shooter. I would have merely copied and pasted it here, but before I could, FB took it all down.

Supposedly originally from New Mexico. "He's not all there" said the guy who knows him, although hasn't been in contact with him in over a year. Supposedly also an alcoholic. Supposedly also a FORMER Trump fan, but now a hater. The fellow describing him believed the shooter was likely targeting caucasians.

Thanks for all the info! Just out of curiosity, what's the BQG group on Facebook?

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1630134843909347/ It's a private group left over from when gun stuff used to still be able to be advertised on Facebook. BQG stood for "Barter Quality Goods". The settings became private and restrictive as FB tried to find ways to destroy gun-based communities on the platform. I just never bothered to remove myself from the group after the gun stuff could no longer be advertized and still get updates of things going on in that community. It has a larger than average latino contingent and is useful to me to keep abreast of anything uniquely going on with latino heritage 2nd Amendment folks.

One of my sons friends actually knew this clown, and I quote: “He gave off a school shooter at any moment vibe”.
