The suspect’s vehicle was found in the parking lot.
Police searched the suspect’s apartment in St. Cloud.

Adan was shot at least three times. He fell and then got up and was shot again!

The police chief said the stabber had at least three contacts with St. Cloud police, but they were only for minor traffic infractions.

There is a facebook page for Dahir Adan at St. Cloud State University.

Dahir’s favorite book was “The Koran.”

Former DHS employee ADMITS Obama forced them to SCRUB records of Muslims with terror ties

Jun. 16, 2016

This is something from earlier this year but it’s really important, especially in light of the Orlando mass shooting.

Phillip Haney, a former DHS employee and whistleblower, wrote earlier this year that he was ordered to scrub database records of Muslims with terrorist ties in late 2009 by his superiors in the Obama administration. And he knew that the implications of scrubbing those records that would echo into the present:

After leaving my 15 year career at DHS, I can no longer be silent about the dangerous state of America’s counter-terror strategy, our leaders’ willingness to compromise the security of citizens for the ideological rigidity of political correctness—and, consequently, our vulnerability to devastating, mass-casualty attack.

Just before that Christmas Day attack, in early November 2009, I was ordered by my superiors at the Department of Homeland Security to delete or modify several hundred records of individuals tied to designated Islamist terror groups like Hamas from the important federal database, the Treasury Enforcement Communications System.

These types of records are the basis for any ability to “connect dots.” Every day, DHS Customs and Border Protection officers watch entering and exiting many individuals associated with known terrorist affiliations, then look for patterns. Enforcing a political scrubbing of records of Muslims greatly affected our ability to do that. Even worse, going forward, my colleagues and I were prohibited from entering pertinent information into the database.

A few weeks later, in my office at the Port of Atlanta, the television hummed with the inevitable Congressional hearings that follow any terrorist attack. While members of Congress grilled Obama administration officials, demanding why their subordinates were still failing to understand the intelligence they had gathered, I was being forced to delete and scrub the records. And I was well aware that, as a result, it was going to be vastly more difficult to “connect the dots” in the future—especially before an attack occurs.

As the number of successful and attempted Islamic terrorist attacks on America increased, the type of information that the Obama administration ordered removed from travel and national security databases was the kind of information that, if properly assessed, could have prevented subsequent domestic Islamist attacks like the ones committed by Faisal Shahzad (May 2010), Detroit “honor killing” perpetrator Rahim A. Alfetlawi (2011); Amine El Khalifi, who plotted to blow up the U.S. Capitol (2012); Dzhokhar or Tamerlan Tsarnaev who conducted the Boston Marathon bombing (2013); Oklahoma beheading suspect Alton Nolen (2014); or Muhammed Yusuf Abdulazeez, who opened fire on two military installations in Chattanooga, Tennessee (2015).

The media doesn’t even look into this stuff. All they care about is bashing Trump, when Obama is the one with blood on his hands. Obama is the one who pulled out of Iraq. Obama is the one who supported the overthrow of Egypt, Libya, and Syria. Obama is the one who supported the very groups that became ISIS and has done nothing to stop them from growing and terrorizing the world. And the list goes on and on.

Say what you will about Trump, but there’s no way he could ever be as bad as the current disaster in the White House or the one who is currently the Democrat nominee.

The off-duty police officer who fatally shot man who had stabbed nine people in a Minnesota mall Saturday is a firearms training expert.

Jason Falconer, president and owner of the Tactical Advantage firearms training facility, fatally shot the attacker at the Crossroads Center mall in St. Cloud.

Officer Falconer is a part-time officer with the Avon Police Department and the former police chief of Albany, Minnesota, who happened to be in the “right place at the right time” during the attack, according to St. Cloud Mayor Dave Kleis. Officer Falconer fired his gun after the suspect lunged at him, the mayor said on CNN.

“Not only did he fire, the suspect went down, came back up on three different occasions,” Mr. Kleis said. “He protected others from being injured and potentially loss of life. Clearly, a hero.”

Officials said Monday that the stabbings appeared to be the work of a “lone attacker,” and federal authorities are investigating whether it was a terrorist act inspired or directed by the Islamic State.

“We haven’t uncovered anything that would suggest other than a lone attacker at this point,” St. Cloud Police Chief Blair Anderson said at a news conference with Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton. “If that changes, we will be transparent about that.”

Authorities did not identify the attacker by name, and decribed him as a young Somali man who was dressed as a security guard and referred to Allah during the mall assault, reportedly asking at least one victim if they were Muslim.
But the attacker’s father, Ahmed Adan, identified him as 22-year-old Dahir A. Adan.

The motive of Saturday’s attack is still unclear, but FBI Special Agent-in-Charge Rick Thornton has said it is being investigated as a “potential act of terrorism.” The Islamic State claimed responsibility, but it wasn’t clear whether the attacker was radicalized. Authorities were digging into his background and possible motives, looking at social media accounts and electronic devices and talking to his associates, Mr. Thornton said.

The attack in St. Cloud, a city of about 65,000 people about 65 miles from Minneapolis, began shortly after an explosion in a crowded New York City neighborhood injured 29 people. Hours before that, a pipe bomb exploded in Seaside Park, New Jersey, before a 5K race. But President Obama said Monday that authorities see no connection between the New York area explosions and the Minnesota stabbing.

All of the stabbing victims — seven men, one woman and a 15-year-old girl — have been treated for their wounds and released from hospital.

Officer Falconer, a competitive shooter and member of the United States Practical Shooters Association, has helped teach classes on law enforcement skills at St. Cloud State University for nine years, according to his biogrpahy on the Tactical Advantage website.

“Jason believes everyone can always learn something new, no matter what their expertise or discipline,” his bio states. “That is why continued education and training has been a strong personal interest of his. As a result, he has attended some of the best firearms training schools in the United States. His goal is to teach individuals the mindset, knowledge and skills needed to be successful with firearms in order to secure their personal safety or that of their family; at home or in public. As a firearm training professional, he continuously researches and develops new curriculum and training methods to make the experience for his students the best they can get.”

According to the website, the range “concentrates on firearms training for individuals in a group or private setting, including permit to carry training classes in Minnesota.”
