Half-naked man with assault rifle shoots up bar, killing one in Pennsylvania

A man with at least four weapons — including a military-style M4 assault rifle — is in police custody after he allegedly killed at least one while shooting up a bar in North Fayette, Pennsylvania.

Allegheny County police said that the shooter may have been talking on the phone to his girlfriend at the Fort Pitt Inn before briefly leaving. He later returned to the bar with three weapons and opened fire, according to KDKA.

The station reported that one of the two men who were shot in the neck and head died from his injuries. The other man was at a local hospital in critical condition.

WPXI reported that the dead man had been killed with the M4 assault rifle, while other reports suggested that police found the rifle in the suspect’s vehicle after the shooting.

A third man tackled the shooter after being shot in the arm. Bar customers restrained the suspect until police arrived on the scene. In video broadcast by KDKA, the man appeared to be wearing only underwear and had a bloody bandage on his head, presumably the result of a beating at the hands of bar patrons.

After being treated for his injuries, the suspect was taken to the Allegheny County Police Department for questioning. His name had not been released.

1. does he have a tax stamp for that M4?

I'm betting he got the rifle from the same people who gave him the bad drugs.

2. Looks like he is missing his "upper."

3. Nothing in story about where he bought his M4

I don't think he needed a tax stamp for the semi-auto version.......

5. if the article used the technical term "assault rifle" correctly.......

Oh wait, we are talking about the media. It could be a Mk 4

6. "Technical term"

Oh, brother! It probably didn't happen because the article used a "technical term" that you didn't like, eh?!!!!

It's not a clip........ it's a magazine! Is that all the gun nutters have in their rhetorical arsenals?

I'm sure this is somehow different, of course...

Left-wing agi-prop blog Raw Story fabricates use of M-4 in PA shooting
WRITTEN BY: BOB - MAR• 11•13
Left-wing agi-prop blog Raw Story has developed a reputation over the years as being less than credible, and they added to that reputation today by fabricating the use of an “military-style M4 assault rifle” into a Pennsylvania bar shooting, making the claim in the story titled Half-naked man with assault rifle shoots up bar, killing one in Pennsylvania:

You all recognize "BOB" don't you? (The man who claims the article about this nut-case shooting and killing someone is "left wing agi-prop&quot

Can't even spell agit-prop correctly, but we now he means well, defending his rights to his guns, even if he thinks all advocates of tighter gun control are "left wing"...(tell that to Mayor Bloomberg and Police Cheifs and former military).


You know what, BOB? If you're the one shot dead, I don't think you care which gun type shot you!

11. serious question

I have no idea who this Bob is other than some guy with a blog. So, why would he be recognizable? Is it the computer version of Christine

8. Here are two links saying the rifle was in the truck

http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/local/neighborhoods-west/man-dead-in-north-fayette-bar-shooting-678836/

Both links also say that the shooter was not allowed to have firearms and they tracking the guns to see how he acquired him.

Notable points:
1. The AR-15 was not used in the crime
2. The person with the guns appears to have been barred from owning them.

9. How can that be?

"The person with the guns appears to have been barred from owning them."

Everyone knows that nut jobs bent on murder and mayhem will always comply with gun laws and gun free zones. So let's have more gun laws.
