****UPDATE and correction**** The woman has just been identified as Miriam Carey a 34 year old (crazy!) dental assistant from Stamford, CT. Here is one story at NBC. Not likely a Somali woman with a name like that! But, as one of my sources mentioned this is the 20th Anniversary of Black Hawk Down so maybe someone was jumping to conclusions.
Since this story has brought a lot of readers to RRW maybe you should visit some of our hundreds of posts on Somali refugees in America and in the West generally by clicking here. We are the premiere location for Somali news!
I had a call from a friend telling me that a radio reporter (just a few minutes ago) mentioned that the woman killed by police today in Washington was a Somali woman from Connecticut. According to my source, the reporter was quickly hushed-up by another voice telling the reporter that it wasn’t to be discussed.
I don’t want to start rumors, but I see a blog called ‘Fire Andrea Mitchell’ is reporting that news. Here is what they say:
Somali descent (Muslim) not terrorism? BS! The black woman from Seems the suspect in the White House barrier ramming and Capitol Hill shooting today was of Somali descent and black from Connecticut. This means the suspect was likely a Muslim and on a Jihad for terrorism. Yet the DC Police have been quick to claim that this was not an act of terrorism and just some sort of ‘lone wolf’ attack.
If any of you see additional news about who the woman was, please let me know so that we can get the story straight. I’m sure by tomorrow we will know for sure.
