MAJOR SHOOTING INCIDENT – THIS TIME HOUSTON – AT 9:41 A.M. ET:   Only days after the mall shooting in Washington state, there's a new one in Houston.  From Fox: 

Six people were injured when a shooter opened fire at a southwest Houston shopping center on Monday morning, police and fire officials said.

The suspected shooter “has been shot by our officers,” Houston Police said in a tweet. “No reports of other suspects at this time.”

Those who were shot were being transported to area hospitals, the HPD tweeted.

A fire official said some people were shot while inside their cars and the conditions of those wounded was varied. Several people were hit with glass fragments from shattering car windows.

"We have several with extremity injuries," an official told reporters. "We have a couple that are more serious."

And...

Police scanners reported at 6:30 a.m. that a male suspect was firing on vehicles with a revolver, according to ABC13.

A Houston Police Department bomb squad was at the site of the shootings after a suspicious vehicle, believed to belong to the suspected shooter, was discovered ABC13 reported.

The shooting comes days after a shooting at a Washington state mall that left five people dead. On Sept. 17, a 20-year-old man stabbed 10 people at a Minnesota mall before being shot to death by an off-duty police officer.

COMMENT:  No word on the identity of the alleged assailant.  Strange.  He's been down for a while, but maybe he doesn't have a name.  Or wants to choose a new one.  However, we must try to understand the socio-economic factors that led him to this act, especially the influence of capitalism and Israeli settlements. 

We'll let you know.
