A 34-year-old man is in jail Tuesday, accused of randomly shooting and killing a 9-year-old boy and wounding two other people as they rode in passing vehicles in Oakdale. Nhan L. Tran, whose home is a few blocks from the shooting scenes, began firing a handgun about 6:10 p.m. Monday while standing in the street near Hadley Avenue N. and 7th Street N., police said.
Cheryl Russell, who lives across the street from the suspect's home, said Tuesday that she looked out a window from her home and saw the man shooting at vehicles at two locations. Russell described the shooter as "very nonchalant, just very calm."

Ahhh, multi-culturalism.......sounds like a Hmong name.......
Of course he was nonchalant........I hate to break it to the monor liberals out there, but truly only in Western Civilizations is life considered sacrosant.
"They" do NOT love their children the same way we do.

He could be from elsewhere in Southeast Asia, but "Tran" is normally a Vietnamese name. Minneapolis is a generous city which harbors many refugees. This one snapped. As do many natural born U.S. citizens, OP....

Why is he in jail. The police have got to start using deadly force when they come upon someone using a weapon.

Excuse me, #1, "They do not love their children the way we do" - with 55 million lives snuffed out since 1973, this is "the way" Americans love their children????

OP, where in the article did it say this guy was an immigrant?
That aside, isn´t legally sponsored immigration the kind we WANT?
#1, your comment is asinine and reveals a very small mind.

Minnesota requested, thru several Churches(as OP infered) to host large numbers of Hmong. There was another shooting several years ago from that community. That is why I THOUGHT it might be a Hmongh name.
#5, I agree with you with one proviso: I do not consider Liberals, whom support abortion to be members of Western Civilization.
#6, visit the Palestinian Shaheed museums, and read the homages Mothers wrote to their martyred children, telling them ho prooud they are.
Then, paste China´s ´one child´ policy to your forehead. Add to it a picture of the toddler who fell out of a vehicle in China, and watch as the dozens and dozens of cars drive over it. Also, tack to it the multitude of stories about babies being killed because Mommy and Daddy wanted a boy but got a girl.
AND add to that the ´honor killings´ of the muzzie world, and then tell me exactly what I said that wasn´t reality based.
And have a good day.

The University of Minnesota sold nearly $1 million in beer and wine at TCF Bank Stadium last year — and lost money. (Snip)How can anyone lose money selling beer at $7.25 a cup? (snip) The list of startup expenses that cut into the school’s beer profits ranged from extra security to $12,000 in plants to screen the A gate beer kiosk from the view of visitors to the Tribal Nations Plaza. The university brought in a dozen extra campus police officers, 10 more ushers and two security supervisors to keep tabs on the football crowds once the alcohol started flowing. The extra manpower cost almost $50,000, but police incidents actually went down at the stadium, compared to the previous dry season.

(Snip) The 16-year-old sophomore at Champlin Park High School now prefers to be called Lane, not Brittany, but she says the biggest change this school year has been in how she and other students in the district´s gay and lesbian community are treated.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

The White House on Wednesday released 94 pages of emails between top administration and intelligence officials who helped shape the talking points about the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that the CIA would provide to policymakers in both the legislative and executive branches. The documents, first reported by THE WEEKLY STANDARD in articles here and here, directly contradict claims by White House press secretary Jay Carney and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the revisions of those talking points were driven by the intelligence community and show heavy input from top Obama administration officials, particularly those at the State Department.

On Thursday´s NBC Today, in a desperate attempt to deflect from the scandals engulfing the Obama administration, co-host Savannah Guthrie wondered: "I read a headline yesterday that said Republicans see blood in the water. That they see a president who´s very vulnerable politically. Is there a danger that they will overreach?" Chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd agreed with the slanted premise: "There is. I mean, that´s what happened to Republicans in 1998 with Bill Clinton.

President Obama’s press conference in the rain was not a success, if by success, his supporters would mean an event which convinces anyone who doesn’t work for him that he’s getting ahead of the scandal deluge. The sight of a Marine holding an umbrella over his head only added to the weirdness of the event. So what did we learn? 1. He has full confidence in Attorney General Eric Holder, the man who purportedly recused himself (whenever) without putting it in writing (whatever). When asked about the untrammeled snooping on Associated Press reporters and editors,

“I look forward to taking some questions at tomorrow’s press conference,” President Obama said last night, after announcing the resignation of the acting IRS commissioner Steven Miller. The president scheduled a noon press conference today with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in honor of his visit. Reporters, however, found themselves waiting outside in the rain for Obama, who was 47 minutes late. Only New York Times reporter Mark Landler had an umbrella.
