Police: Austin shooter was a homegrown American extremist
Larry McQuilliams had let me die written in marker across his chest when he fired more than 100 rounds in downtown Austin early Friday morning.
McQuilliams, who Austin Police officials called a homegrown American extremist with ties to a Christian identity hate group, was shot dead on Friday by a police officer outside the departments headquarters.
Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo told reporters on Monday that officers who searched the gunmans home found a map with 34 targets, including two churches. McQuilliams had fired bullets into Austin police headquarters, a federal courthouse and the Mexican consulate in downtown Austin on Friday. He also tried to set the Mexican consulate building on fire.

Police believe McQuilliams associated himself with the Phineas Priesthood, an anti-Semitic, anti-multiculturalism affiliation that opposes biracial relationships, same-sex marriage, taxation and abortion. Authorities found a copy of Vigilantes of Christendom, a book linked to the Priesthood, in the rental van McQuilliams used during the attacks. Inside of the book was a handwritten note that discusses his rank as a priest in his fight against anti-God people, Acevedo said.

Who knows, maybe God talks like the Rude Pundit from time to time.
