A security guard was shot this morning at the headquarters of the pro-life group Family Research Council, and the shooter has been apprehended while police officials investigate the act of violence.
According to information provided to LifeNews, a man posing as an intern shot the guard at the FRC office located at 801 G Street, NW. FRC staffer Anna Maria Hoffman added more information on Twitter, Our security guard Leo [Johnson] got shot in the arm. Please keep him in your prayers.
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins confirmed the security officer was shot and said in a statement, The police are investigating this incident. Our first concern is with our colleague who was shot today. Our concern is for him and his family.
Sources told Fox New that after guard took away his gun, the suspect said, Dont shoot me, it was not about you, it was what this place stands for.
The suspect, a 28-year-old male from Virginia named Floyd Corkins, made statements regarding their policies, and then opened fire with a gun striking a security guard, a source told Fox News.
AP later confirmed that Corkins is a liberal activist who volunteers with a left-wing group in the D.C. area.

A law enforcement official has identified the suspect arrested in Wednesday's shooting as Floyd Corkins II of Herndon, Va. Investigators were interviewing his neighbors.
Another official says the shooter made a negative reference about the work of the Family Research Council before opening fire. The officials spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation.
David Mariner is executive director of The DC Center for the LGBT Community. He says Corkins had been volunteering at the center for about the past 6 months. Mariner describes Corkins as "kind, gentle and unassuming."

Nothing sends liberals over the edge like conservatives that act like the Constittuion applies to them as well as liberals, and then have the nerve not to BACK DOWN from that position in the face of liberal histrionics and rage.
First they are picking on little girls serving them chicken, now they are shooting people. And then libs tell us the conservatives are the bullies?
