Shooter Told Family Research Council: I Don’t Like Your Politics | LifeNews.com.

Imagine the additional charges for hate crime had a conservative shot Floyd Lee Corkins.   The FRC shooter is being charged with assault with intent to kill and for bringing a firearm across state lines.

Corkins fired off shots in the FRC lobby, one of them hitting security guard, Leo Johnson, in the arm.  Mr. Johnson, along with other security guards wrestled Corkins to the ground.  The 28 year old suspect is quoted:  “Don’t shoot me, it was not about you, it was what this place stands for.”

Corkins was armed with 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches, a Sig Sauer 9mm pistol, two extra loaded magazines and a box of 50 rounds of ammo. It appears that he had in mind killing more than one person, but perhaps he just had a low opinion of his own marksmanship.

Leo Johnson is said to be recovering well.  You can learn

Cops: LGBT volunteer shoots conservative group's guard – CBS News.

Floyd Corkins II has been arrested for the shooting of a security guard in the lobby of the Family Research Council, a socially conservative group based in Washington DC.

Corkins has been a volunteer at the LGBT Community Center in Washington DC for about a half year. Apparently the FRC’s stance on gay marriage, and in support of Chick-fil-A had served as an irritant to the shooter, although his motive is officially said to be unknown.

The security guard, who has been called a hero by the D.C. police chief, has been hospitalized, in stable condition. He had been shot in the arm when he stopped the gunman in the lobby. He then wrestled the suspect to the ground. The FBI is said to be investigating the incident.
