Well, he's white, so he's a lone wolf or someone with a mental illness.

At what point does extreme right wing conservatism become a mental illness instead of a political ideology.

Yes. It started at Planned Parenthood. The call originated from there.

Right wing Twitter is now echo-chambering that this was a black man who attempted to rob a bank and ducked into a Planned Parenthood briefly to hide. How dare you just assume he is white, you Bigot Bigot Bigot.

This is despite witnesses citing the shooter as a white man, no reports from the bank he allegedly robbed, police reports saying he's been holed up in there, etc.

Its too convenient for that to be true. He comes in shooting up a Planned Parenthood in the middle of the Evangelical portion of Colorado? No, that doesn't fit.

That Planned Parenthood was formerly a target range in 1987 so this is really just a big misunderstanding.

There was a moment this afternoon when a man walked up to the scene with a handgun strapped to his waist and ammunition vest around his chest. He appeared to be asking police if he could help. Officers told him to leave immediately because appearing at the scene while wearing firearms and that equipment was a bad idea.

Is this a PP that does abortion? Because some of those have secure entries with metal detectors and stuff. Or is this just a regular PP and he's a loving shitbag who doesn't know the difference?

I think the places that do abortion only do abortion on certain days, and the pro life protesters know these days. Those are the days when the one way in/one way out with volunteer guards are present.

According to the live radio feed, he's at the end of a hallway behind a door, there is a 'safe room' that is also a chart room nearby. They are worried about possible victims/hostages in the chart room.

Security concerns at the clinic were high enough that the clinic had a “security room” with a supply of bulletproof vests, but, according to an officer on the scanner, some of the vests are still in the room, and one may have been worn by the gunman.
