2 injured, suspect sentenced 15 years September 17, 2013  Jeep Hits Roseville MN Army Recruiters, Drags One For Miles 52-year-old Enrico Darius Taylor of St. Paul ran over 2 Army recruiters in the Rosedale mall parking lot in his Jeep Cherokee just as they were reaching their front door was they were returning from lunch. Staff Sgt. Michael Stroud went over the hood, but Sgt. First Class Travis Torgerson's leg got caught in the undercarriage. Despite calls for help, Taylor continued to drive, dragging Torgenson for nearly one mile and suffering a broken leg before the SUV stopped. He pled guilty in November to assault and criminal vehicular operation, and in January 2014 was sentenced to more than 15 years in prison. 

Details: The incident bears some similarity to the 1989 Little Rock, Arkansas recruiting station shooting in which the suspect claimed to be sent on a terrorist mission from Al Qaeda on his return from a trip to Yemen, and the 2014 hit and run attack which killed a Canadian soldier which has been called in Islamist-inspired terrorist attack, which in turn has been compared to the London Woolwich run-over and stabbing of a British soldier, and many attacks in Israel by motorists driving into civilians and security forces. but no media has made any link between the incidents.

Police are trying to determine a motive. Torgenson abandoned the vehicle near a motel which called police when he asked for a cab. When captured, the suspect claimed he did not see the victims crossing the road, but admitted he had hit the pedestrians, and claimed he stopped to help pull the man out from under his Jeep. Taylor has had eight contacts/arrests with the Roseville Police Department in three years, usually because he has been scamming people for money to fix his car. He pled guilty in November to assault and criminal vehicular operation, and in January 2014 was sentenced to more than 15 years in prison.

Torgerson is a decorated veteran and has served in the United States Army since 1993. He is married with two young children. Sunday November 3rd a benefit was being held for Torgerson at Calvary Church in Roseville. If you would like to inquire about sending a donate contact: torgersonbenefit@gmail.com

This bears a remarkable resemblance to the fatal 2009 double shooting of military recruiters in Little Rock Arkansas by a Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, born Carlos Leon Bledsoe who eventually confessed he was on a mission from Yemen to commit an act of jihad terrorism. That incident brought little attention from the press and was never prosecuted or classified as terrorism even after the confession which was not accepted or believed by lawyers or the courts. 

Also Baltimore recruiting office bombing plot: Muhammad Hussain Military Recruiting Office Bomb Plot
December 8, 2010 BALTIMORE—Antonio Martinez, aka Muhammad Hussain, age 21, of Baltimore, a U.S. citizen, was charged by criminal complaint today with attempting to murder federal officers and employees and attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction against federal property in connection with a scheme to attack an Armed Forces recruiting station in Catonsville, Maryland. Martinez was arrested this morning after he attempted to remotely detonate what he believed to be explosives in a vehicle parked in the Armed Forces recruiting station parking lot. Hussain “indicated that if the military continued to kill their Muslim brothers and sisters, they would need to expand their operation by killing U.S. Army personnel where they live. He stated that jihad is not only in Afghanistan or Pakistan, but also in the United States.”
