Mayor hints at motive in fatal shooting at Colorado Planned Parenthood clinic

Mayor hints at motive in fatal shooting at Colorado Planned Parenthood clinic
By JENNIFER SHUTT and NOLAN D. MCCASKILL 11/27/15 04:16 PM EST Updated 11/28/15 09:06 AM EST

Three people were killed and nine injured on Friday at the Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood clinic in a mass shooting and standoff that the organization at first suggested was "domestic terrorism" before replacing that language with "horrific tragedy."

The mayor of Colorado Springs, John Suthers, on Saturday said authorities aren't ready to discuss a possible motive of the gunman but people can make "inferences from where it took place."

How the hell does this crime go from domestic terrorism to horrific tragedy? It looks like a coverup by the news media.

Vicki Cowart, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Rocky Mountains (PPRM), released a statement expressing sympathy for the victims and tying the incident to "a poisonous environment that feeds domestic terrorism in this country.”

“We don't yet know the full circumstances and motives behind this criminal action, and we don't yet know if Planned Parenthood was in fact the target of this attack," she said. "We share the concerns of many Americans that extremists are creating a poisonous environment that feeds domestic terrorism in this country.”

A later statement by PPRM, which confirmed that all Planned Parenthood staff were "safe and accounted for," was more circumspect, noting that "the gunman's motive remains unknown as does whether Planned Parenthood was targeted deliberately."
