Wow, you can hear the police going through the building and rescuing people and clearing rooms. Some civilians down
This is only about 7 minutes from my house :O Just a minute ago they got a bunch of people out safely but say there may be a few more people still in there with the shooter.
They say 5 people unaccounted for. Someone that got out says a woman locked herself in a file room. They are going through drywall to reach some people without having to go down a hall near where the gunman is. This is fascinated to listen to them discuss the situation and how they clear sections at a time.
They just said he brought 'bags of items' into the building with him and they can't consider the location secure or take him out until they know what those items are.
He just came out with his hands up, they have him in custody and he says he's alone, no other suspects.
Denver Post twitter account named the shooter as Robert Lewis Dear, 57, of North Carolina.

Not much on him at the moment, even Heavy's "5 Facts" list is pretty vague other than saying LE haven't confirmed the I.D

Irony: "pro-life" Robert Lewis Dear murdered a beloved officer who was also a local pastor and disagreed with abortion.

In case you're wondering, Robert Lewis Dear is...
-- not a Syrian refugee
-- not a Muslim
-- not a person of color

I'm a Christian. The Christ in scripture trusted women. He didn't murder them in the name of some hateful ideology.

I'm going to choose to respond to #RobertLewisDeer act of terrorism at #PlannedParenthood by making a donation to PP earmarked for security

Robert Lewis Dear is a 57 year old white guy from South Carolina. CNN called him a "gentleman". Not a thug or a terrorist

What a sick, sad state of affairs. Republican presidential candidates won't denounce attack on #PlannedParenthood for fear of offending base

Police identified Robert Lewis Dear, 57, as the gunman who allegedly killed three people and wounded nine others Friday during a shooting at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Dear, who the AP reported is from North Carolina, was arrested Friday after an hours-long standoff with police.
Anyone want to do some digging and see if we can find any FB pages or forums on him? I've dabbled a bit and am coming up dry.
I'm thinking he has a fake profile to probably comment on news threads and such. I would definitely bet he's on a radical message board. That seems to usually fuel the fire that causes this kind of shit. People are allowed to manifest their hatred in a private online community of other psychos, and it becomes more real.
I mean, in all honesty it is speculation at this point. It's just my guess.
I think they know the motive was anti-PP and are trying to find any other possible thing to peg it on (like the "bank robbery"), so that everyone who assumed it was religious terrorism can "feel stupid".
If it's fair to assume every black male that riots is a thieving thug, it's fair to assume every old crotchety white man who shoots up a public place is an angry religious and/or gun nut. (...and probably a pedophile too.)
This infuriated me so much. Comments early on were all "omg libtards, it started at the bank. Don't try to make this something it isn't" and people were responding, no asshole, I was there, people were running TO the bank for cover.
And I find it so odd that what's trending today is furor over Reese's Christmas trees not looking like Christmas trees. If this isn't obvious planned deflection, I don't know what is.
Slain officer was ice dancing champion
Officer Swasey, 44, worked for the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs, and was on campus 10 miles away when the shooting broke out. He went to the scene to support an officer, the school's chancellor said in a statement.
Swasey was a six-year veteran of the university's police force. The married father of two was once a national ice dancing champion, The Denver Post reported.
Four civilians and five police officers were hospitalized with gunshot wounds, and were in good condition Friday night, police Lt. Catherine Buckley said.
"The courage they displayed today saved many, many lives -- no doubt," Colorado Springs Fire Chief Christopher Riley said.
Preliminary reports indicated the clinic's staff was safe.
"I believe no one of our staff was severely injured. I also believe at this time that none of our patients were injured," said Vicki Cowart, president of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains.
The University of Colorado Colorado Springs will observe a moment of silence Saturday for the fallen officer. Fellow officers held a procession for Swasey at the scene of the shooting early Saturday.
