Still No Word From ABC News On The Politics Of Family Research Council Shooter Floyd Corkins

August 15, 2012

Did you hear that a guy walked into the office of a conservative organization today and was prevented from shooting up the place by a security guard who was shot in the arm? No?

Funny how ABC News, which wasted absolutely no time in falsely blaming the Tea Party for the shooting in Colorado, didn’t jump to any conclusions in this case…

A gunman opened fire on a security guard at the Washington D.C., headquarters of a conservative Christian organization only to be tackled and subdued by the guard whom he had just shot in the arm, authorities said.

The suspect, identified by law enforcement sources as Floyd Corkins of Herndon, Va., is alleged to have entered the offices of The Family Research Council and yelled at the guard about the organization’s policies.

The shooter soon fired a handgun at the guard at around 10:50 a.m. ET.

Corkins, who himself was not shot, was subdued by the injured guard and others, officials said. Police arrested him and authorities said he was being interviewed by the FBI.

Corkins was a volunteer at the DC Center for the LGBT Community, a community center in Washington for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, where the Associated Press reported the 28-year-old often worked at the front desk.

Did I mention that the shooter walked in carrying a bag from Chick-fil-A?

Mission accomplished, Rachel Maddow!
