Hero guard shot thwarting attack at Family Research Council HQ
A suspected gunman made a negative reference about the work of a conservative Christian lobbying group before shooting a security guard.
"The Family Research Council strongly opposes gay marriage and abortion and says it advocates "faith, family and freedom in public policy and public opinion." "
MSNBC Devotes Just 17 Seconds of Coverage to FRC Shooting; Downplays Possibility It Was Politically Motivated
..."28-year-old Floyd Corkins opened fire on a security guard at the conservative Family Research Center, located in downtown Washington, D.C. Local news stations, including NBC's Washington station, devoted resources to cover the developing story, as did CNN and Fox News, which regularly updated viewers with progress in the investigation. But MSNBC...." yada, yada, yada
UPDATE: FRC shooting suspect was volunteering at DC LGBT Community Center
"It has just been confirmed that Family Research Council shooting suspect Floyd Corkins II had been volunteering at the DC Center for the LGBT Community for the past six months."
LGBT ORGANIZATIONS RELEASE JOINT STATEMENT REGARDING THE SHOOTING AT FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL I do not for a minute doubt their sincerity; we conservatives know well what to anticipate in the aftermath of every hate crime. TD
Dept. of Irony: "Well, the haters are mouthing off before they have any of the facts. What else is new?" Some posts in Broadway.com:

We were saddened to hear news of the shooting this morning at the offices of the Family Research Council. Our hearts go out to the shooting victim, his family, and his co-workers.The motivation and circumstances behind today’s tragedy are still unknown, but regardless of what emerges as the reason for this shooting, we utterly reject and condemn such violence. We wish for a swift and complete recovery for the victim of this terrible incident.

"Would it surprise anyone to find that the FRC had in fact staged it themselves?"
"FRC is a hate group who today is playing the victim card.If there was a shooting at a gay youth center the FRC would be bragging that they deserved it and this was God's will. Feel bad for the real victim(s) here."
"This is very unfortunate. If it was actually someone opposing FRC, then this looks very bad."
"Please let the shooter not be gay please let the shooter not be gay please let the shooter not be gay please let the shooter not be gay please let the shooter not be gay..."
