So far apparently nobody has actually been hurt amazingly, despite being shot at and having multiple explosives detonated (two safely by the cops).

Article claims automatic weapons and an armored van with holes to shoot from and explosives. Curious to see if these are automatic weapons or if the journalist (if you can call them that any more) is full of crap.

I read on the fox article that some had thought there were also assailants at "elevated positions" and maybe at some point there were. However from the camera angle of the video-taker & the buddies hes talking to, it doesn't look like any shooting was coming from their direction, but it raises some points:
1) The video-taker was in a hell of a position for an additional assailant to take on cops on the ground. Now, shooting from that high/angle and hitting anything are two different things, but still. (at least it would be for those two assclown "roommates" that had swift justice delivered to their heads at the draw-muhammad event)
2) Were the cops paying attention to just the 2D space, or was someone also looking up at rooftops/garage levels?
3) If there were assailants at "elevated positions" taking shots, I don't think I'd want to be poking my head over the roof like the video-taker and his friends were.

Breitbart has details about one of the vans used. Someone bought it on ebay for about $9k. The police apparently stopped it with a .50 to the engine block.

I'm surprised they didn't use the Tim McVeigh style bomb tactic.

No idea why cops need a .50 cal, oh wait...... [sarcasm]

or someone who rides a motorcycle.

IMO it's a SBC. Why drive in to a JiTB parking lot? All that shooting get you in the mood for some ptomaine poisoning

Reports say police snipers hit the suspect in the van by firing through the windshield. Not sure if he is dead yet.

James Boulware. He's a nut job who lost custody of his kid recently.
