Just got the alert.....

Crap

I won't be surprised if the media blew their load early again.... Atleast I hope so..

Reported 5 shots fired. Probably used an assualt revolver.

I hope everyone is OK and that catch this maniac.

 

I doubt the media will go crazy over this unless an EBR was involved.

But court houses are gun free zones...

But court houses are gun free zones...

Are you serious!!??? They weren't supposed to have a gun in there?

Good thing no one shot back and stopped him, they may have hit someone...

I'll bet he used the super deadly assault bullets too

I'll bet they have a 100 cops with assault rifles guarding the courthouse right now, but not 1 cop guarding any school.

Of course, there are uber important politicians in there....

Just reported, shooter is dead. One of the injured is his wife.

Just reported, shooter is dead. One of the injured is his wife.

no matter what the situation, these kind of stories, just don't bode well for us... And only ad's fuel to the Anti's....

Three Dead in Delaware Courthouse Shooting in Wilmington

 

A shooting at a Delaware courthouse in Wilmington, home to the state’s Chancery Court, resulted in the deaths of at least three people, including the gunman, in a confrontation police and court officials said stemmed from a custody dispute.

Five people were shot in the incident, state police Sergeant Paul G. Shavack said today in an interview. Police said it was unclear whether the two victims, both women, were shot by the assailant, a man, or by police. One of the women, the wife of the assailant according to the Associated Press, was there to attend a custody hearing, court official David Grimaldi said.

The shooter walked into the courthouse lobby and was confronted by police, sparking the exchange of gunfire, police said. The incident stemmed from a domestic dispute involving the gunman and his wife, said a person with direct knowledge of the matter who asked not to be identified.

 

They gotta throw it in, no agenda here!

 

Last week, U.S. House Democrats proposed a ban on military- style assault weapons and a 10-round limit on ammunition magazines to try to curb mass shootings, mirroring what President Barack Obama proposed in response to the Dec. 14 shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, in which 20 children and six adults were killed.

Obama asked Congress to outlaw the sale of assault weapons, ban high-capacity ammunition magazines and require background checks for all gun buyers.

3 injured has turned into 3 dead.

Wouldn't this mean he was prohibited from owning a firearm?

 

Matusiewicz had been in the news before. He was accused and convicted of kidnapping his three children.

He was sentenced to 48 months imprisonment due to the international parental kidnapping and bank fraud case.

He and his ex-wife were estranged and had already gotten divorced, according to all reports.

Court documents say the Matusiewicz fraudulently obtained a $249,000 loan in 2007 and took his children to Panama, Mexico, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. That's where they were eventually found, brought back to the U.S., and the children were reunited with their mother.

Looks like yet another case of someone that the law says should not have access to weapons did not obey the law. Maybe they should pass laws that make them enforce existing laws rather than pass laws to further restrict those of us that actually obey the laws.

Sources: Courthouse shooter was ex-optometrist who kidnapped kids

 

Feb. 11, 2013 11:44 AM,

 

The man who opened fire and killed two women and injured two Capitol police officers this morning at the New Castle County Courthouse in Wilmington has been identified by numerous law enforcement and legal sources as David T. Matusiewicz, a former optometrist who spent time in federal prison for kidnapping his three daughters and bank fraud in 2007.

 

One of the victims in the courthouse shooting was his ex-wife, Christine Belford, sources say. Belford was 39. The other victim has not been identified.

 

Matusiewicz, 45, who police declared dead at the scene, kidnapped his three young daughters in August 2007 amid a custody dispute with ex-wife Belford. He took the girls on an 18-month odyssey to Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico and Nicaragua, where in March 2009 authorities discovered him, his mother Lenore and the girls – then ages ages, 4, 6, and 7, one of whom is autistic -- living in a dirty and cramped trailer.

 

The former optometrist was sentenced to four years for kidnapping and bank fraud, for forging Belford’s name to get a $249,000 home equity loan from Wilmington Saving Fund Society on their Middletown−area home.

While in prison he continued trying to get joint custody and have visits with the girls, but his parental rights were terminated.

 

Matusiewicz, who served his time in the Philadelphia Federal Detention Center and the federal prison in Bastrop, Texas, was releaed in April 2012 to a halfway house in Bastrop, prison officials said. About two months later, Matusiewicz was released from the halfway house into home confinement for a period that ended Sept. 5.

 

It could not immediately be learned whether Matusiewicz or Belford had a court hearing today.

 

Belford, who lived in Pike Creek’s Meadowdale neighborhood, later remarried and was raising the girls. She periodically contacted The News Journal to report how she and the girls were doing, saying that it was a struggle but all were recovering from their ordeal.

 

In a December email, she mentioned an upcoming mediation hearing with Matusiewicz regarding overdue child support. “Kids are doing ok,’’ she wrote. “Some lingering issues, as expected, for all of us.’’

WTF!

Convicted for kidnapping and bank fraud and released in 4 years. "Lax" gun laws are the problem!?

http://www.fbi.gov/b...9/ba121009b.htm

 

He was sentenced in December 2009 and released in April 2012.

 

If he began his sentence in December 2009 -- that's somewhat more than 2 years served. For "International Parental Kidnapping and Bank Fraud"!

Another illegally possessed firearm... let's see where this one came from..

Problem is we have a lax criminal justice system when it comes to real crimes in many cases. That and our system just doesn't work in general. Many people come out of jail hardened and angry.

What makes you so sure that they'll make a point to release that info? I'd guess that if he somehow aquired it legally, it'll be front page 24/7 news. If not, it'll just be a footnote at the end of a print news article.

They have been releasing info on the guns in the past, so i would expect something to come out. I don't expect the lefty media sources to report, but it will probably be reported somewhere... ATF has been making an example to "track" these guns lately. As a felon there is zero chance it was acquired legally..

Wow.... Just found out that my girlfriends best friend, also a good friends of mine, cousin was one of the victims.

She's saying it was the husband's father that committed the shooting.

Lets pray he didn't pick it up at a "gun show". That is all we need.

This is getting more and more strange. The shooter wasn't David Matusiewicz.

 

It was his 68 year old father, Thomas F. Matusiewicz.

 

Bizarre.
