A suspect was taken into custody approximately two miles away from the synagogue while three patients were rushed to a nearby hospital.The victim was identified Sunday as 60-year-old Lori Gilbert-Kaye.
A man with a rifle entered Chabad of Poway on Rancho Bernardo Road, west of Interstate 15 at 11:23 a.m. and opened fire on the people inside, law enforcement officials said.
“We didn’t hear him screaming or saying anything. He was just focused to kill. You saw the hate and the murder in his eyes,” Danny Almong, a witness, told NBC 7. “He had a vest and he had clips in the vest. He was ready. He was ready. He came in to kill.”
The suspect was identified as John T. Earnest, 19, a graduate of Mount Miguel High School and student at Cal State San Marcos. Earnest does not have a criminal history and has no apparent connection with white supremacist groups, according to San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore. Read more about Earnest here.

Not a stellar start to the work-week, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes. Zero bad guy morts, one incarcerated and another bad one in the wind. Hope for better times, but get to the range and practice.
The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it is impossible for men to live without breaking laws.

Police in St. Mary’s County Arrest Four on Multiple Charges in Great Mills
On Friday, April 26, 2019, at approximately 3:05 p.m., Troopers from the Maryland State Police Leonardtown Barrack and Deputies from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 45000 block of Military Lane, Great Mills, for a reported burglary in progress.
A witness observed the suspects enter a residence and the homeowner confirmed no one had permission to be inside. Upon police arrival, there was evidence of a burglary and it was believed the suspects were still inside. After numerous requests for the suspects to exit the residence, one of the suspects complied and exited.
The suspect was arrested and identified as Divante Quintil Kyler, 27, of California. Kyler was found to have two open Bench Warrants through the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office (Child Support Non-compliance and Failure to Appear-Driving While Suspended). Kyler was not cooperative with police on the scene and wouldn’t provide information about additional suspects.
A search of the victim’s residence was completed utilizing the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Services Team and K-9.

Troopers and Deputies maintained a perimeter on the area and contact was made with the occupants of the adjoining townhome. During their contact with the occupants of the adjoining townhome, a strong odor of marijuana was detected coming from the townhome. The occupants of the townhome were not cooperative police.

“…had a vest and he had clips in the vest.” Paper clips? Money clips? hair clip? A clip joint? Another commiefornia rifle walking down the street into a church to kill folks. Take some of these attention whores that force the innocent rifle to murder people, have a very public hanging and maybe it will slow it down some. Another reason I carry where ever I go.
Clinton Township; What in the wide world of sports is a convicted felon doing possessing a firearm? Doesn’t he know that’s against the law?
LA; Good guy with a gunz saves the day, but could use some range time himself.
St Mary’s; Divante Quintil…sigh…Claw?
Score 1/1/1 still a trifecta. Back to working on the cistern FIRST thing this morning.
Gotta wonder what blue eyed Timmy-with-a-man-bun was doing in such esteemed company.
Claw may be able to spin up a few points from some of those improbable soul brutha names.
Okay, the TAH Name Scrabble (Home Version)®™ Whiz Wheel has been deadlined due to a spun axis bearing, but despite the multitude of little red squiggles, has worked up the basic scores on this squad of Darwin Award candidates. Those scores are:
Divante Quintil Kyler – 39
Timothy Patrick Hogan – 39
Jalonte Dalquan Ford – 39
Jajuan Dalshawn Ford – 43
Almost a Quad-Fecta on the same basic score, so use of multipliers 2-11 are up to the reader./smile
The Whiz Wheel will now retreat to a corner and lick its wounds.
Three of they mamas ought to be charged for stupid.
Divante Quintil? Let me guess … Nah, too easy. ‘He was a good boy who loved his momma and never did nutin wrong. The police done profiled him.’
HMC Ret,
Hope you are doing okay.
Nothing like the Wheel of Claw to bring a smile.
