O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00	FBI Investigating Shooting At Federal Building DETROIT, 4:27 p.m. EDT September 21, 2001 - A man allegedly walked into the lobby of the McNamara Federal Building on Michigan Avenue and shot a federal protective services officer. The officer has died from his injuries. The gunman was also taken to a local hospital after being shot, but his condition is unknown at this time. A witness said that a white male walked into the federal building at about 1:30 p.m. and shot the officer. "He just walked up and started shooting," David Edwards said. Dawn Clenney of the Detroit FBI said during an afternoon press conference that the man entered the building carrying a bag. As he approached the security area, a guard asked him what was in the bag. Clenney said that the man pulled a handgun out the bag and started shooting. The FBI is located in this building. The perimeters of the building, at 477 Michigan Ave., are now closed off including Michigan Avenue at First and Cass. The FBI is considering the building a crime scene and has closed off the building. It has been partially evacuated. All federal buildings have been on heightened security after the Sept. 11 attacks, but the gunman entered the building and began shooting before he had entered the McNamara's security checkpoints located about 20 to 30-feet away from the front door. The FBI will be holding a press conference about this shooting this afternoon. Also, many questions loom as to the possible connection too a trial going on a few blocks away at the Theodore Levin U.S. Courthouse for three men arrested for having false documentation. The men may have been associated with Nabil Al-Marabh who was taken into custody Wednesday night in Justice, Ill., a Chicago suburb. Authorities are questioning him about possible links to Osama bin Laden. At this time, authorities say that there is no indication that the shooting may be linked to the hearings.

O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01	This one sounds like typical old US insanity. However, for anyone planning to visit Boston this weekend............. THE BOSTON Globe, the Boston Herald and Reuters all reported Friday that Ashcroft warned acting Gov. Jane M. Swift and Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino on Thursday about potential terrorist strikes against Boston in coming days. But Ashcroft stressed that there were no specific threats, the newspapers quoted sources familiar with the conversations as saying. Menino confirmed that he had talked to the attorney general, but he did not confirm that Ashcroft had warned of a possible attack. Menino told the Globe that “people should not be alarmed. At this point, people should go about their daily routines. The police will be observant.” Justice Department spokeswoman Mindy Tucker also acknowledged that Ashcroft and Swift had talked, but she declined to say what was discussed. The Associated Press also reported that the FBI issued new warnings to local law enforcement agencies to be on guard against possible attacks, saying the alert was based on “uncorroborated intelligence.” The FBI also asked the nation’s water companies to increase security at their facilities, the AP said. Law enforcement sources have speculated in recent days that the terrorists responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks in New York and Washington originally planned a second wave of attacks, with Sept. 22 emerging as the most likely date for a second strike. But it is unclear whether those plans are still in play in the wake of a massive dragnet for possible accomplices in the Sept. 11 attacks, authorities say.
