mass shootings

I suppose this is the inevitable end result of the explosion of anti Asian racism in America these days. https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/16/us/metro-atlanta-shootings/index.html I don't like to judge books by their cover but looking at the picture of the shooter and I'm totally judging this book...

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/least-7-wounded-philadelphia-shooting-one-arrested-two-guns-recovered-n1258187 So far 8 wounded one arrested, two guns recovered. Hopefully the wounded will survive. But doesn't this again demonstrate that there's a serious problem in America with the...

This time in Germany. Gunman who killed nine people is now said to have had a racist extreme right wing motive. He also talked about hidden bases in the US where children are tortured. He does not appear to be talking about the actual "bases" where children are being kept, but seems more likely...

White Norwegian shooter, local to the area, with two shotguns and a pistol. He only managed to wound one before he was stopped. Very lucky. This could have gone really bad. Norwegian media reports he was fascinated with the New Zealand attack. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-49308016

This time in Missouri, sounds like a disgruntled employee. So that's good at least. It's not a white supremacist, Antifa, or something politically motivated. Just good ol' "can't live without my job, got fired, so time to shoot some people." A police officer was hit, but sounds like he'll be...

He shot up a Federal courthouse but nobody got hit. It's uncommon to see good closeup photos of an active shooter on the prowl but we have them of this guy. Suspected gunman shot dead while wearing mask and tactical gear after witnesses say he opened fire on Dallas federal courthouse...

Sounds nasty 4 dead https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-48510881

There was a shooting in Utrecht train, multiple injuries, not 20 minutes ago. https://www.dailysabah.com/europe/2019/03/18/injuries-reported-in-tram-shooting-in-utrecht-dutch-police-say https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/several-injured-after-shooting-on-tram-in-utrecht-a4094321.html More...

The topic of guns in New Zealand is a current social and legal issue after the massacre of at least 49 Muslims in Christchurch by a white supremacist using at least 5 different guns. This thread is started as a place for discussion which began in the massacre thread.

Female shooter is unusual, but she seemed to have pent up aggression or frustration like most murder-suicide suspects.

It doesn't happen often, but it seems to have happened this time: https://abcnews.go.com/US/civilian-shoots-kills-suspect-opened-fire-restaurant/story?id=55424657 (For those not wanting to click, man walks into restaurant and starts shooting. Civilian with handgun kills shooter.) Developing...

This deserves a thread of its own, not just to be lumped in with "Today's Mass Shooting". BBC. The Gradiaun. The governor of Texas said just 2 weeks ago (at the NRA conference): Now he is saying: More than twice as many American students have died this year as American soldiers.

That's not fair. Conspiracy theories are arrived at by taking the evidence available, deciding on a conclusion, and working backwards to a convoluted plan. Starting from motive and working forwards isn't allowed because then the conspiracy theory obviously doesn't make any sense. Dave...

https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/23/us/kentucky-high-school-shooting/index.html Only two dead out of 19 at least. Kentucky I would have thought you could produce better shots than that, being beaten out by Connecticut so handily?

Multiple officers shot, suspect at large, bomb squad, SWAT on scene in Douglas County Not sure about the confirmed status of the shooter. https://www.denverpost.com/2017/12/31/officers-down-and-swat-on-scene-in-douglas-county

Reports of a shooting in a New York mall. 2 injured so far by the claims.... Hope this is brought under control quickly, and isn't another crazed shooter going after the big Thanksgiving Day shopping crowds.

Multiple deaths More to follow as becomes clearer http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41880511

TVNZ News is reporting a mass shooting at the Route 91 Festival near or in the Mandalay Bay Hotel on the The Strip No links as yet ETA https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4&v=KMfjLD8eMAc

Here is a link. I am posting this to - lament all casualties. - support the responding emergency and police personnel. - make no assumptions about attacker motives. - make no initial comment on guns. - hope for the best. Let's hope this one ends soonest, and I hope it is simply some poor...

It's puzzling to me, as a Kiwi, that there have been so many mass shootings in in the US and it doesn't appear that the US has decided to do any sort of reaction to the problem. Seems like once again they are waiting for a miracle to solve the problem, put thier people on the line so then the...

Developing story. Looks like gunman opened fired on Dallas police, sniper style, at a protest this evening, at least three offices dead, more critically injured. http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Protests-in-Dallas-Over-Alton-Sterling-Death-385784431.html

It is a hate crime, and the victims are members of a church. Not just any church though. A Unitarian church. Why did he pick that church? Because it's full of liberals. Yes, the church's historical support of such issues as desegregation, women's rights and gay rights was just too much for...

Tonight, some nut-ball psycho busted into the Kirkwood City Hall Planning and Zoning meeting and shot the place up. Seven people were shot, at least 2 of whom I knew personally, because I go to meetings there for projects and have to work with the city officials. Luckily I was not there...
