June 14, 2017

A gunman unleashed a barrage of gunfire Wednesday at a park in Alexandria, Va., as Republican members of Congress held a morning baseball practice, wounding five people, including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (La.).

President Trump said the suspected gunman — identified by multiple law enforcement officials as James T. Hodgkinson III, 66, from Illinois — was killed in a shootout with police, two of whom were wounded in the gun battle.

The wounded also include a congressional aide and a lobbyist. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/multiple-people-injured-after-shooting-in-alexandria/2017/06/14/0289c768-50f6-11e7-be25-3a519335381c_story.html

June 14, 2017

Two now-inaccessible Facebook accounts under the name of James Hodgkinson, and purporting to be located in Belleville, Ill., were full of posts supporting Sanders and opposing Trump.

“Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It’s Time to Destroy Trump & Co.,” one of the pages posted in March. That post linked to a petition calling for Trump’s impeachment “and or legal removal.”

The account called Bernie Sanders “a Candidate of a Lifetime” while expressing distrust of Hillary Clinton.

“Make America Great Again, Resign!” the other account posted in June, with a photo of Trump.

Here is information on a second shooting today:

June 14, 2017

SAN FRANCISCO ― At least two people have died after a shooting in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill neighborhood on Wednesday morning, according to numerous reports.

The shooter is “down” and has a self-inflicted wound, local outlet KQED reported, citing a San Francisco Police Department officer.

The incident occurred around 9 a.m. local time at a UPS facility, the San Francisco Department of Emergency Management said. At least one employee recognized the shooter as a fellow UPS worker, The San Francisco Chronicle reported. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/san-francisco-shooting_us_59416133e4b09ad4fbe4ddef

San Francisco authorities say they’re interviewing the families of victims and witnesses to piece together what led a gunman to open fire in a UPS warehouse.

Assistant Police Chief Toney Chaplin told reporters Wednesday that authorities found two victims outside and others inside, calling it a “frightful scene.”

He says officers didn’t fire at the gunman, but that he shot himself when they confronted him.

Chaplin says authorities won’t release the names of the three who were killed and the gunman who took his own life until the medical examiner confirms their identities and families are notified. http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/latest-hospital-multiple-california-shooting-victims-48036675

Killing and terrorizing others is not the way to deal with political matters nor employment ones.

After reporting about these two incidents, there was a third to report (this report is preliminary):

June 14, 2017

FAIRFIELD (CBS SF) — Travis Air Force Base is on lock down due to reports of an active shooter on the base.

Shortly after 4:20 p.m., a public information officer at the base, located just outside Fairfield in Solano County, said no casualties had been reported.

Officials at the base are urging people to lock their doors and windows and shelter in place. http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2017/06/14/shelter-in-place-travis-air-force-base/

The Bible warns:

25 … There shall be terror within (Deuteronomy 32:25)

There is violence in the USA.

Violence, itself, often begets violence. So, sadly, we seem to be seeing more and more shootings and terror.

The Bible teaches:

9 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Enough, O princes of Israel! Remove violence and plundering, execute justice and righteousness (Ezekiel 45:9)

9…You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. (Romans 13:9-10)

As far as violence goes, the Bible shows that God is against violence and that destruction will come because of it:

23 ‘Make a chain,
For the land is filled with crimes of blood,
And the city is full of violence.
24 Therefore I will bring the worst of the Gentiles,
And they will possess their houses;
I will cause the pomp of the strong to cease,
And their holy places shall be defiled. (Ezekiel 7:23-24)

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality…30…violent, proud, boasters,…31…unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1:28-32)

8…And the violence of the land and the city, And of all who dwell in it. ( Habakkuk 2:8)

Notice the violence is prophesied to result in the worst of the Gentiles to come and take possession of houses–this will happen to the USA during the Great Tribulation (see also When Will the Great Tribulation Begin?).

There will be more violence in the USA.
