This looks, smells and bleeds like vehicular jihad, but that remains unconfirmed, as expected. The driver, Sawan Alshabani, has a Saudi last name, but we are not allowed even to consider jihad as a possibility.
“This was random and isolated,” said Matthews Police Chief Clark Pennington. “There is no known connection between Alshabani and any of the victims.” (More here) Astonishingly (or should I say typically, in these cases), they did not arrest her. She was sent to the hospital for a medical evaluation for five days. She went on a killing spree last Monday and was only charged on Friday. When I inquired as to what the results of the medical evaluation are, I was given this response from the Matthews Police Department:
I do not have any information available for her medical evaluation.
I also received this from the Matthews Police Department:
As for the motive, this case is still an open investigation, so I can’t provide much as far as specifics. However; we currently do not have any information or evidence to lead us to believe that this was a hate crime or an act of terror.
How can they know that?
Police say the suspect, Sawan Ibrahim Alshabani (photo above) intentionally hit and killed 79-year-old Vira Hryhorniva Nahorna in the Aldi parking lot. Vira was a wife and mother of three; she was loading groceries into the trunk of her car. She and her husband were about to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary. The driver also tried to hit four other people.
“As a result of numerous statements and after evaluating the evidence, we can say with a level of certainty that the collision with Miss Nahorna was no accident,” he said. “In fact, the suspect in this case not only intentionally struck Miss Nahorna but attempted to strike at least four other people in the parking lot.”
Investigators have not revealed a motive in the case, but Pennington said investigators believe “this was a random, isolated incident, and there has been no ongoing threat to our community.” (more here)
Random car ramming? Who can it be now? Police obtained warrants also charging Alshabani with 2 counts each of attempted first-degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon.
The driver’s last name is popular in Saudi Arabia, so it makes perfect sense that the police would not arrest her, but take her to the hospital for “medical evaluation” since Monday.
Driver ‘intentionally’ tried to hit 5 people at store, kills 79 year old, NC cops say
Charlotte Observer, October 18, 2019
Authorities say the killing of a 79-year-old pedestrian in an Aldi parking lot in Matthews was intentional, and police believe the accused woman tried to run down at least four other people before fleeing the scene.
Investigators identified the suspect as 54-year-old Sawan Alshabani of Matthews, who turned herself into police an hour after hitting the other woman. Alshabani was under “medical evaluation” at a hospital for a week before being arrested on Oct. 21, Matthews Police Chief Clark Pennington said.
She is charged with multiple offenses including first-degree murder in the death of Vira Hryhorniva Nahorna, Pennington said.
Nahorna was buried Thursday in Matthews. She was a wife and mother of three who immigrated to the United States from Ombish, Ukraine, according to an obituary.
“As a result of numerous statements and after evaluating the evidence, we can say with a level of certainty that the collision with Miss Nahorna was no accident,” he said. “In fact, the suspect in this case not only intentionally struck Miss Nahorna but attempted to strike at least four other people in the parking lot.”
The incident happened around 10 a.m. in the parking lot of the Aldi grocery store at 555 W. John St., police said.
Officers found Nahorna in the parking lot. She was taken to Carolinas Medical Center, where she died later in the day.
“The driver of the vehicle initially left the scene and contacted Matthews Police Department Communications a short time later to meet with officers,” according to a police news release.
Investigators have not revealed a motive in the case, but Pennington said investigators believe “this was a random, isolated incident, and there has been no ongoing threat to our community.”…

Deranged leftist so called Americans want to import more of the roaches.
That’s why they keep getting in https://thegreatarchitect.blog/2019/03/26/how-come-muslims-have-gotten-a-foothold-in-our-society/
Fear of islamophobia runs deep in police departments around the world. It is always motive unknown but mental illness is the key. It is reasonable to conclude that the pattern of murder involves allegiance to Islam.
Indeed!
They come, steal , threaten, takeover and ethnically cleanse with/without violence https://tinyurl.com/y7yhc4dl
Jihadis kill christians/non-muslims, destroy church/temples everywhere they go because as per koran its their religious duty to do it !
you cannot win unless there is organised legal /political pushback.
And that cannot happen without more ppl funding , supporting , sharing real news that expose the truth that MSM will not cover
But Most conservatives, patriots expect someone else will do it for them !
This is how WE have been indoctrinated to think = “to not act”.
As Reagan stated over decades-
“The 9 worst words in the Englksh language” =
“WE’RE FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND ARE HERE TO HELP”
Reagan should be on Mt. Rushmore – maybe after 2024 “the Donald too”.
The Far-Left usurpers = a disease on Americanism being our Founded ideology.
President Reagan granted amnesty to 3.5 million illegals in 1986.
I would dig up Reagan and hang him for treason.
Typical – wrong again…
The controlling DemocRat Congress promised Reagan if he’d “grant amnesty this one time they’d build the wall + needed security to stop illegals from entering once and for all”.
LESSON = never trust a DemocRat- and he regretted doing just that.
Irrelevant.
All you did was point out Reagan gave something for nothing and NEVER fought once to undo it.
Reagan and his rich corporate farmer donors laughed every time they passed the fields.
But Reagan was not fooled, he WA$ TO $MART for that, because Reagan was complicit in the betrayal.
Huh- all you do is cry wolf-!!!
No- he was out of office.
See DemocRat’s lie and still pretend they’re sincere til it’s too late ie- back stabbering is their MO = the wall still isn’t built yet 5yrs ago both Scheemer +Pillosi were talking about building the wall 26yrs later
The great Ronald Reagan’s main points as he went into office was to economically break the Soviet Unions hold on Eastern Europe esp Poland, get them out of Afghanistan.
He did and Eastern Europe held in the chains of the communist statist who raped + pillaged these nations as slaves since the socialist + “friend of Stalin” FDR handed 1/2 of Europe to him @ Yalta + Potsdam.
NO ONE thot he could do this then the Iron Curtain fell after 45yrs freeing 100million people = biggest event since winning the two front WWII.
Just be glad he was there instead of the weak kneed indecisive peanut farmer from Plains.
Be thankful – Eastern Europe is.
Islam will render followers in the need of medical attention
With Islam- “the key” is the prompting from a lifetime of indoctrination in hatred = not “mental illness” as an excuse.
The estimate by searchers is Islam has killed well over 500,000,000 in 13-centuries.
There is no such thing as Islamophobia.
It’s not islamophobia when they really do want to assault, rape or kill you. The threats posed by Islam and its adherents are quite real.
Phobias are irrational. Nothing irrational about fearing an ideology that seeks to destroy the civilization that your ancestors have been building for 3000 years.
Muslims suck!
Execute the savage
On the spot .
“this was a random, isolated incident, and there has been no ongoing threat to our community.”… As long as there are muslims in the town there IS an ongoing threat.
^^^^^^^^^^^^so very true!
I thought the $audi$ were our friends! Ha ha ha!!! So we leave Syria (sort of) so as to not be the “neocon warmongers” as Rand Paul and the like always cry, only to send more troops to Saudi Arabia, which Rand hasn’t whined about.

Frenemy. at best. Israel is also a frenemy to Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia has temporarily “suspended” believing Jews are descendants of apes and pigs.
Both fear Iran.
Muslim Clerics – Jews Are the Descendants
of Apes, Pigs, And Other Animals
By Aluma Solnick (October 31, 2002)
…
The divine punishment of Jews is mentioned in three Koranic verses:
“… They are those whom Allah has cast aside and on whom His wrath has fallen and of whom He has made some as apes and swine…” (5:60);
“…You have surely known the end of those from amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath, in consequence of which we condemned them: Be ye like apes, despised” (2:65);[13] and
“when, instead of amending, they became more persistent in the pursuit of that which they were forbidden, we condemned them: Be ye as apes, despised” (7:166).[14]
…
https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/muslim-clerics-jews-are-the-descendants-of-apes-pigs-and-other-animals
I don’t believe there has been any true change in Saudi attitudes toward Jews and other non-Muslims. I’ve seen this movie many times before! Certain Saudi leaders will say something in English to a very specific audience so as to curry favor, but it is not sincere and does not reflect true sentiment among the Saudi population. If and when the Iran problem is no more, It will be business as usual and the Saudis will stop pretending.
I think Pam G. calls it ‘taqiyya’. Where Muslims think it’s perfectly okay to lie to infidels in order to cover up their hatred and nastiness.
It’s not just Pam, it is actually one of the many forms of Islamically-mandated lying and deception.
Israel is a frenemy with Saudi Arabia in that they both have a common enemy: Iran.
No, Bill, Saudi and Israel are not frenemies. It is purely a matter of the enemy of my enemy is a handy guy to have around.
Duh. You shuffle words around, yet say the same thing.
Perhaps, but to me, “frenemy” implies a healthy competition, one consistent with an overall goodwill.
To me, it means the Saudis will not take offense when the Israelis overfly them when they bomb Iranian nuke plants. Let’s not make a big deal out of nothing…..
The problem is it eventually goes south. Yet we keep doing it…
I don’t believe there are any formal relations between Soddy Barbaria and Israel. El Al is not allowed to fly over or land in Soddy Barbaria and Jews are still prohibited throughout the kingdom — at least officially.
There aren’t. They have a common enemy, Iran. That means even though the don’t like each other, the Saudis will look the other way if the Israelis decide to overfly Saudi Arabia to bomb Iran’s nuke plants.
But would they look the other way if the IAF flights were to return over Soddy Barbaria?
“isolated incident” my foot!! Completely deliberate from the apparent-Saudi Islamist
Completely deliberate from the apparent-Saudi Islamist
Oh, how the islamophobia never ends. Don’t you realize that cars, planes just sort of randomly take aim at people and buildings these days (I read it in the NYT, so it must be true, eh)? Sign of end times?
My sympathies to the victims families
My thoughts go out to the victims and their loved ones. Regarding the Jihad’s evildoing in the name of Allah, may he rot in Hell. More so, one hopes that the judiciary and others of authority bring justice to the victims and their families. It is highly unlikely after all those of the Liberal disorder accommodate their Muslim overseers.
Admittedly, the Leftist justice system and others will pander to this Jihadi’s Constitutional Rights while denying the same Rights to non-Muslim citizens. Those of the Leftist contagion, the Democrats and others of this bilious faction will, likely, remain steadfast to defend this Jihad killer’s dogma of hatred for all that is not Islam.
I assume that labeling this murderous evildoing as a Jihad attack has yet to be determined by Islam’s Leftist, Democrat enablers.
judiciary and others of authority bring justice to the victims and their families.
Justice delayed is justice denied. It already is.
Amen, Liatris.
While we do not yet know what the motive for this probable “crime”
might be, I see this conduct of the assailant as being consistent with the
concepts of Jihad, whether or not that can be determined. From my perspective,
the reality of these times is that those of Islamic persuasion intend to, and
are actively setting in motion, a course of conduct that has as its end result
the overthrowing of our society, substituting Islamic law and the despotic takeover
of this country. The proof of this conduct can be seen in Europe and elsewhere.
These people are born into a society that promotes intolerance, hate and
violence to get their way. Why we all do not seem to recognize their intent is
mind boggling to me. Their philosophy of domination and subjugation is their
watch words, and to deny that obvious quality is to be suicidal. I hope there
is salvation coming soon, lest future generation suffer!!!
I see this conduct of the assailant as being consistent with the concepts of Jihad, whether or not that can be determined.
Dennis, you strike me as a cautious man- one not given to wild excesses of extreme conspiracy theories. Are you sure you want to get out so far on a limb?? :>)
I do not, yet! It may turn out to be nothing more than gross negligence, but what happened there is consistent with what the Islamic world has prepared for us, and that was all I intended as a warning to all of us right thinking people. A classic case of knowing your enemy.
you’re wasting your time on an ignorant libturd troll…best to block the moron.
you’re wasting your time on an ignorant libturd troll…best to block the moron.
Gad, you are a nasty little goon. Take your own advice, jerk.
Yep, I blocked that plant life a LONG time ago. Makes reading Pamela’s stories much easier and less stressful, not having to deal with idiots like that!
gross negligence ??
C’mon, Dennis ….
“As a result of numerous statements and after evaluating the evidence, we can say with a level of certainty that the collision with Miss Nahorna was no accident,” he said. “In fact, the suspect in this case not only intentionally struck Miss Nahorna but attempted to strike at least four other people in the parking lot.”
LOL….
“Crime”? You’re not sure?
The white wash of what is obvious , and has been repeated so many times now you cant count them all , all those that cant / won`t get the message an I.Q. check is in order ASAP ! , and for those that care about their country it` past time to wake the blank up and correct this menace in our country time is of the essence !
“Crime”? You’re not sure?
Investigators have not revealed a motive in the case, but Pennington said investigators believe “this was a random, isolated incident, and there has been no ongoing threat to our community.”…
Utter BULLSHIT. The motive is obvious.
The driver, Sawan Alshabani, has a Saudi last name, but we are not allowed even to consider jihad as a possibility.
What a tragedy for Vira Hryhorniva Nahorna and her loved ones.
They need justice and Islam needs to be exposed.
Of course it will always be BS from the ignorant libturds who can’t accept facts and truth!!!!
Yeah, they need to tell that BS to the dead woman’s family! We know what it was and it wasn’t “random,” it was intentional murder! i.e. JIHADI!
The motive? Nothing other that the standard … A moslem …. just bein’ a moslem.
Don’t worry the libturds will let the poor parasitic feral animal off due to his misunderstanding of US LAWS!!!!!
Police across America are looking the other way making sure Gringo Americans don’t upset the diversity applecart in their precincts. Your tax dollars at work folks.
Know islam, no peace. No islam, know peace.
Sudden Jihad Syndrome.
Driving while jihadi.
All that is missing here is “mental illness” and “known to authorities”.
If the cops are going to assume such a “ho-hum” attitude for murder and attempted murder, then you readily understand why I carry a concealed weapon on me everywhere I go, especially to church.
This is a smallish town around 20 minutes outside Charlotte, NC. It is not a place I would expect to hear the police cave into the fear of telling the truth. During the Obama regime my city changed from majority white with a large black population to what appears to be majority of Central American, Muslim, Indian, etc. I have found that I now practice situational awareness naturally and without paranoia or an attitude of dislike toward anyone; especially at Aldi.
Another import by Barack Hussein Obumfook?
Again the most easily available to anyone as a weapon of death is any vehicle = the bigger the more destructive- esp in crowds right into 40 – 50+ ton units taking down bldgs full of people.
In comparison a gun is slow and twisted determined evil minded individuals will do awful things any way they can…
Go right to the ‘mental evaluation’ and no need to poke around in radical mosques and terrorist cells. One act of transparent Jihad such as this can be peeled back to reveal a world of radical Islamists, Imams, cells.
All tyrannical governments through history are quick to pull the “they are crazy” card.
