WTF... Is this a media hate crime?

A shooting inside the WORT-FM radio station in Downtown Madison left a man with non life-threatening injuries early Sunday morning, Madison police said.

Officers responded to the community radio station at 118 S. Bedford St. for a reported shooting shortly after 3 a.m. A 33-year-old man was found at the scene with gunshot injuries and taken to the hospital, said Madison police spokesman Howard Payne.

David Devereaux-Weber, the president of WORT's board of directors, said three volunteer members of the radio station were in the studio when the shooter entered the building.

"A person entered the station and went into the studio and fired a number of shots," (The volunteers) ducked and ran into the master control room and from there into our music library and hid from the shooter."

Trump was warned of these type of incidents would happen if he kept up his hate the media campaign. Most likely young Dems Club Members working the Station.
