(CNN)The Department of Homeland Security is calling a series of shootings targeting law enforcement in Pennsylvania a "terror attack."

Authorities said Ahmed Aminamin El-Mofty, 51, was shot and killed by police Friday in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, after he fired several times at law enforcement officers throughout the city.

The string of shootings began just steps from the state's Capitol building when El-Mofty fired several times at a Capitol Police officer and then, shot and injured at a state trooper. Later, he used two handguns to open fire at several officers who then returned fire and killed him, according to a statement from the Dauphin County district attorney's office.

Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico said there was "no doubt that he was directly targeting police officers," CNN affiliate WGAL reported.

1. I do love grammar and proofreading

"shot and injured at a state trooper"

Will grammar check ever be perfected - and used?

2. This "terror" thing seems to be bullshit in this case

unless they have some sort of other evidence that he was acting on behalf of some terrorist group. You have people out there targeting and killing police quite a bit of late and they are basically called "cop killers". But it seems that once again this applies -



when you have this happen and the same charge is not applied -

3. "Chain migration" is a nativist term coined by Faux Hate TV. Now official terminology.

The fascists use every opportunity to make Muslims and not white immigrants the target of official government hate.
Sounds familiar.....

4. Remember the Bundy couple who went on a murder terror spree in Vegas, including killing 2 cops?

The 2014 Las Vegas shootings occurred on June 8, 2014 in northeastern Las Vegas, Nevada, when a married couple, Jerad and Amanda Miller, committed a shooting spree in which five people died, including themselves. The couple, who espoused extreme anti-government views, first killed two Las Vegas police officers at a restaurant before fleeing into a Walmart, where they killed an intervening armed civilian. The couple died after engaging responding officers in a shootout; police shot and killed Jerad, while Amanda committed suicide after being wounded.[7][8][9][4]

During the April 2014 Bundy standoff, in which the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) attempted to round up cattle belonging to rancher Cliven Bundy, who refused to vacate public land,[22] Jerad Miller was said to have been among the armed protesters who joined Bundy during the incident.
