The story disappeared when it was revealed the mass murder was a Muslim.
Mohamed Barakat who shot and killed by a Fargo police officer Friday, was armed with explosives, guns, a homemade grenade and 1,800 rounds of ammunition.
He was a Syrian national who arrived in the US on an asylum request.

Barakat searched online for area public events along with the terms “kill fast” and “mass shooting events” before he ambushed police responding to a car crash, firing nearly 40 rounds, killing one officer and seriously injuring two others and a civilian before he was killed.
Mohamed Barakat, the man shot and killed by a Fargo police officer Friday, was armed with explosives, guns, a homemade grenade and 1,800 rounds of ammunition.
Inside Barakat’s car, they found what Schneider described as an “absolute arsenal,” 1,800 rounds, multiple guns and a homemade hand grenade, along with gasoline containers and two propane tanks filled with explosive materials built in his home. The tanks were detonated by a bomb squad, and proved to be very powerful.
Attorney General Drew Wrigley just said if 37-year-old Mohamad Barakat was able to carry out his “murderous barrage” planned for the city of Fargo “there would not have been enough medical personnel in a three state area.”
Fargo Police officers were investigating routine traffic accident on 25th Street and 9th Avenue South when the suspect, 37-year-old Mohamed Barakat, started firing at officers. Three of the officers were shot, including Jake Wallin, Andrew Dotas and Tyler Hawes. Shots were also fired at firefighters responding to the crash and, fortunately, none of them were hit. Zibolski says a Fargo Fire truck was hit by gunfire during the shootout.
“In the wake of Mohamed Barakat’s murderous, unprovoked attack. Officer Zach Robinson’s use of deadly force was reasonable. It was necessary. It was justified and in all ways it was lawful,” said Wrigley. “To our knowledge at this point, they were legally purchased. We don’t have other information. The investigation continues on. He was not a prohibited person.”
Barakat was shot by Officer Zach Robinson shortly after Barakat opened fire on three other Fargo police officers along S. 25th St.

KVRR: “He absolutely ambushed them from inside that vehicle,” said Wrigley. “They had no way to know. He had access to the many weapons in the vehicle, all of which were loaded. He jumped out and went around. You can also see in that vehicle, some of the other contents. We’re going to talk in detail on Friday. There were explosives in there. There were canisters of gasoline in there.”
Wrigley said Robinson was “the last man standing,” and that his actions stopped what apparently was going to be a mass shooting in Fargo.
“He was literally the last man standing. The last man standing between what was coming next and see what this assailant was armed for.” said Wrigley.
Wrigley says Robinson shot Barakat after ordering him at least 16 times, “hands up hands up, put down the gun.”
“He had no choice but to end the threat and he did,” Wrigley said.
“He also shows great restraint,” said Fargo Police Chief David Zibolski. “Each phase, he gave this individual, multiple, multiple opportunities to surrender. This suspect was dead set on committing to fire, harm and shoot people.”
Twenty-three-year-old Officer Jake Wallin died. Officers Andrew Dotas and Tyler Hawes were hospitalized in critical condition.
Twenty-five-year-old Karlee Koswick, who recently moved to Fargo from Massachusetts, was also shot. She was hospitalized in fair condition.
Wrigley and Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney both called Barakat’s actions an “ambush.”
Fargo: Muslim shooter had 1,800 rounds of ammo, was apparently planning a jihad massacre at street fair
By , July 20, 2023:
A comment on the news article below states: “I live in Fargo. From the press conference that was held today, it is becoming apparent that the shooter was on his way to downtown Fargo where a large street fair was being held. The street that the shooting occurred on is a main route to downtown Fargo which would be about 4 to 5 minutes away. It seems that as he was driving to his intended target, he encountered the traffic accident and decided to start his rampage there.”
Authorities remain baffled as to Mohamad Barakat’s motive, because they deny the reality of Islamic jihad altogether.

My buddy’s mother makes $85 per hour working on the computer (Personal Computer). She hasn’t had a job for a long, yet this month she earned $11,500 by working just on her computer for 9 hours every day. Read this article for more details… http://www.Payathome7.com

Fairly clean shaven, to fool those who claim he is not Muslim. His heart though, was evil as hell. Jeremiah 17:9.

This is the reason that all muslims need to be deported. All they do is murder “infidels”and destroy property. Having an arsenal for honest citizens is not a problem.

This is the first I’ve heard of this. Granted my power was out yesterday but I haven’t heard a word about it today and I’ve had the news on for several hours. If that mass murderer had not been stopped at that traffic accident many more people would have been killed. Outrageous that this is not being reported.

This on a daily basis from the Muslim invaders. They invade peaceful countris/ democrsies, with their torn looking clothes, their dirty flip flops, their women wearing grabs and head covering, they look so pathetic, that your first reaction naturally would be remorse. But do not be mistaken!!!!, this is an invading army, an invading cult of religios fanatic franzied, well trained in invasions all over the world.
They know the job, they’ve been doing it all over the world for 1500 years. The come in, they settle, the multiply x4, because they are aloud to marry 4 wives, they rape the local women, they marry into locals and vonvert them, and they put havoc and destruction, terror and fear in the local poulation until they drive them out. This is a running plan for 1500 years. They’ve multiplied in 1.2 billions.

This punk knew that a city like Fargo would be grossly unprepared for a jihad event. Dozens could have been killed before anyone knew what had happened.

That dangerous Muslim migrant is a Muslims terrorist. So let’s bel clear, truthful and honest.
There is nothing wrong with calling a dangerous jihadist a “Muslim terrorist.” This is because that term is keeping within the bounds of reality with the instructions found in the Quran for jihad -minded devout Muslims. For the Quran instructs “”Strike terror [into the heart of the enemies of Allah and your enemies.” Surah 8:60.

It’s very appropriate to reiterate that those Muslim rioting in Paris , France isn’t limited to that nation. Such Islamic rioting occurs in the other countries of Europe as well .as in for example Germany Sweden, Denmark Sweden Germany etc. This unthankful Islamic spirit on the part of those lawless violent Muslims who immigrated to the countries of Europe may be explain, in part, by the fact that the Muslim fundamentalist group that even had the president of Egypt assassinated in the month of October of the year 1981 has a fifty –five booklet that is was written only for Muslims fundamentalists but was later discover by non-Muslims.
This booklet’s title is THE NEGLECTED DUTY. One scholar, Johannes Jansen who had thoroughly investigated Islam and Islamic terrorism has even discover that those Muslims, who had entered Europe of behaved in violent and heinous ways, are actually action out what they view and a sacred individual duty of the jihad as by engaging in awful violent criminal action in non-Muslim lands . As Jansen revealed that jihad booklet of Islam, THE NEGLECTED DUTY “contains all the ideological material needed to justify the attacks of 9/11 or any other acts of terror committed to frighten non-Muslims. And he thinks the document explains the criminal behavior of suburban and center –city immigrant youngsters in many European cities; its author clearly ‘sees Islam as license to kill rob and commit arson.’ “ [1]
Nevertheless, many of the apologists for Islam still have that blatant gall , in spite of all the facts of reality, to actually make the claim the Islam is a “peaceful religion.” What a totally false to make that Islam is “a peaceful religion “What Bull! A “peaceful religion” indeed.
