Mystery: Contracted FDA Guard Opens Fire on 15-Year-Old Boy

Feb. 8, 2013 4:39pm

A security guard opened fire on a “suspicious” 15-year-old boy at a Food and Drug Administration facility in Bothell, Wash. on Friday, police said. It was not immediately clear what compelled the guard to shoot at the boy.

The incident occurred at around 7 a.m. in the parking lot of the FDA’s Pacific Regional Laboratory Northwest, KOMO-TV reports.

Mystery: Contracted FDA Guard Opens Fire on 15 Year Old Boy

(KOMO-TV)

The security guard who shot at the boy is employed by a company contracted to provide security for the FDA facility.

Sgt. Cedric Collins of the Bothell Police Department say the teen got into a car after being fired at and soon crashed into another vehicle about a mile away. He was transported to Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland, Wash. with non-life threatening injuries and is expected to survive. It was not immediately known if the teen was hit by the gunfire or if he only suffered injuries from the collision.

Witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots on Friday morning. Further, tire tracks were visible leading from the street to the front of the FDA bluing and across a grassy median.

“Northshore School District’s Secondary Academy for Success was placed in a modified lockdown due to the nearby police activity,” KOMO-TV reports.

The investigation into the incident is ongoing. The Department of Homeland Security was also on the scene along with local law enforcement and other federal officials.

    apparently we need gun free Federal Agency zones.
    and guards should not be armed.
    maybe that’s the reason for all the ammunition, they expect their folks to miss 90+% of the time.

      Seems like the authorities are having problems with being a little quick on the trigger lately. After seeing the two blue trucks shout up by the cops out in California (one of which was delivering newspapers for Heaven’s sake!), it would appear that those in authority may be having a problem finding an appropriate target.

      Anyone with a blue pickup in California should put it in the garage, and hide in the basement till sanity returns to the cops.

    Why we simply call it like it is. Attempted murder. Pure and simple. The cops in Amerika do it everyday and the state control media sells it to the sheeple. Things WON’T change until we FORCE change. And, sadly, the only way to force change is when the masses begin to lose everything. Make no mistake, the United States government WANTS a civil war aimed at white conservatives… those in power do indeed have dreams of genocide. Read between their lines… it is everywhere.

      Really??? I’m a cop in America. I haven’t murdered anyone. I still pledge allegiance to my flag and stand up from my country. I believe in the constitution and also feel it is threatened. It’s interesting how we can believe in the same things, yet you feel just because I am paid by a government that I am against you. I doubt you deal with the ugly side of humanity on a daily basis. Yet, I still have to come home and act like it doesn’t bother me to my children. Believe me, the police isn’t what’s wrong with the country, it’s the drowning moral code from the erosion of family.

    The young security guard where I work didn’t see me standing on the side walk (3am) as he walked by and when I said “Howdy” he was so startled he pulled his pistol on me.

    He was even more startled when I took it away from him and said, “That’s no way to say hello”.

    all be shooting at us. The EPA people are already wearing side arms,
    saw one yesterday. The govt. isn’t buying all this ammo. and guns for

      Ok,ok,ok…….I’ve read comments like this “Oh the government is out to kill U.S. citizens!” One too many times not to finally put my two pennies in.
      Here are a few of my questions and my thoughts on what the probable answers are;

      Who is the government made up of? Robots? Aliens? (The outer space kind for you smart a**es)
      (My answer) The government is made up of US. That’s right people, just plain ordinary people. Now these people are just like you and me, they have mothers and fathers, wives,husbands and kids. They have nothing to gain by helping emplace a tyrannical government dictatorship. Really stop to think about it how many people really benefit from a dictatorship. Usually just one, the dictator. Now surely his friends and family will too but this is the USA, we’re big geographically and we have a pretty good sized population so those on the dictators Facebook Friends list would be GREATLY outnumbered by us commoners. Now I’m sure you’re referencing other dictatorships past and present and saying things like “China is bigger and they’re a dictatorship for all intents and purposes.” , and you are right…except for one little thing……they are not Americans. Americans are stubborn. Disagree? Look at any point in OUR short history when our backs were to the wall and the chips were down…..what did we do? We flipped a middle finger at the odds and opposition and drove on. Examples? “Come and take it” the Alamo, “I have not yet begun to fight” J.P

      Are your questions serious? Do you mean the same US who voted the worst president in American history a second term. The same US who are so self centered and selfish that they are unwilling to debate issues. We live in a country now with grown babies who cry and pitch fits if they don’t get their way. When people use the word government they refer to anyone who is willing to follow their leaders to the gates of hell. And make no mistake there are plenty. I am sure you have seen the footage of the union workers attacking people at these right to work rallies. What do you think the government workers who carry guns are going to do once we can no longer fund their jobs. So in essence you are right it is US. The American people have become the thing which they claimed to hate. I no longer see too many real Americans anymore. Just people who live within our borders. But how would you expect a depraved society to make wise decision. I thought their were no wise people left and then I realized yesterday that Ben Carson was still alive and well. In summary it did t make your argument any better to say the government is made up of everyday people, because we are just as much at fault as the politicians. Also you must be an older person or you would know how soulless the youth of today is.
