News Man Shoots at FBI Building, Employee, arrested by Police (Phoenix, AZ)

[Super Kami Guru]

Here's an interesting story for you that happened just a couple of minutes away from my house.

A man, for reasons still unknown, drove past the FBI Field Office on 7th Street and Deer Valley here in Phoenix and shot at the building, impacting several windows. He then shot at an employee of the FBI who happened to be leaving the building at that time and sped off towards Interstate 17. He was arrested without incident after being pulled over on the I-17 about 10 minutes later, prompting the Arizona DPS to shut down the I-17 for some time and prompting a massive police response. Details about the suspect have yet to be released and, as mentioned, no motive has been discovered.

...an example of people going a bit stir crazy, or an idiot thinking he was proving a point? Should be interesting to see if any further details come out about this...

At any rate, saw it on the news when it broke and figured I'd share it here, as it is somewhat of a strange thing to do. Glad they got him and he's not randomly shooting at anything else!

Maybe he wanted a job there and got declined? Who knows. People are all nutty these days.

Had to have been one shambles of an interview to get him that wound up!

Definitely going stir crazy, or he thought the FBI were the ones enforcing quarantine on the country.

It had to be something along those lines, because there's no logical explanation to do that or really to be where he was, there's not much in that area.

He was scheduled to appear today to see what charges he faces, but he is in Federal custody, so who knows if that information will make its way out to the news outlets.
