Any headlines speculating Christian(ic) terrorists or mentioning Christian(ic) extremism?
Nope. He'll be the traditional "lone gunman" shooting up clinics *because reason*.

LOL! When was the last time there was one? David Koresh in Texas?
You're kidding right? You haven't heard of Scott Roeder, Shelly Shannon, Jim David Adkisson, Paul Jennings Hill, Eric Rudolph, James Charles Kopp, John C. Salvi, Timothy McVeigh .. to name but a few. Many of these rank high on the list of the Army of God, which is known as a "Christian, terrorist, anti-abortion group."

The gunman has been captured alive.

Well, that's certainly unusual. But on the plus side, now we can interrogate this guy like any other terrorist and find out who he's working for...

No, not kidding, thanks
I remember a little of that being reported on McVeigh, but it looked like he was involved with insiders setting him up as a patsy.
Since then, I've reduced my TV news exposure drastically. It seems to me that religion and ideology are being used as cover more than abused by true believers of anything. It in general, seems to follow a script. These groups get infiltrated by cops and then the infiltrators become agents of provocation.

Agreed. I was expecting the update to include he'd shot himself or was killed by police. This wasn't an assault on Planned Parenthood on his part either apparently. He simply fled to PP when pursued by police.

The no true scotsman fallacy at play. There were plenty more names than McVeigh in that list.

His collaborator Terry Nichols has never been allowed to speak to the press. That's very interesting when there are "The McVeigh" tapes out there wherein he was interviewed after his arrest. But Nichols is forbidden the same opportunity to this day. I wonder why?

The OP article paints a different picture:

"The shooting injured at least nine people, including at least four police officers, after a gunman walked into a Colorado Springs branch of Planned Parenthood on Friday and began shooting."

I would be interested in speculation.
But I have less time for deep rabbit holes these days.

It'll be interesting to see if this is ironically in protest of PP's taking of lives.
Shooting people is "ironic" now? So when ISIS kills people because they perceive those people to be also taking lives, is that also "ironic"?
