BREAKING: "Arif Uka" Identified as Frankfurt Airport Shooter

The name of the Frankfurt airport shooter has been released. According to Kosovar officials, Arif Uka is a citizen of the small Balkan nation. It is unclear if he is Christian or Muslim, but his name suggests that he is a Muslim.

Uka was identified by the Kosovar government after German officials would not do so.

"This is a devastating and a tragic event," Rexhepi said. "We are trying to find out was this something that was organized or what was the nature of the attack."

Two people have been killed in the attack and another critically wounded. One of those killed was a member of the US Air Force and the other was the driver. The bus was filled with American military personnel.

A Facebook account belonging to a person of the same name can be found here:

But there are no obvious signs of jihadist tendencies on his Facebook and he looks older-- so it may not be the same Uka.

UPDATE 12:16 EST: Uka has been identified as 21 years old, so the Facebook profile is most likely not his.

UPDATE, 6:07 EST:  According to conflicting reports, the gunman in question could be named "Arid" and not "Arif."
