Tchocky · 09-16-13, 10:11 AM

Just heard this on the radio. Awful.

Hope it doesn't get any worse.

The tv is reporting 2 shooters are "down" and there is multiple deaths.

Tchocky · 09-16-13, 10:35 AM

Hearing four shooters, one with a long gun. Three down, one contained but not in custody

Tchocky · 09-16-13, 11:17 AM

Two suspects at large it seems. White male and black male. Fifty ish. Military style clothing

Well the shooter-Aaron Alexis, 34, originally of Fort Worth, Texas is dead thankfully!! They are looking for a second gunman, but they are not sure if there is one. Too many conflicting reports to know for sure.

Indeed, not a lot of information coming out from the authorities, but that's to be expected. Frustrating for rolling news, but that's how it goes.

RIP to those lost in this attack.

The smoke hasn't even dissipated, nor the causes known yet and our dear leader is already framing the situation to suit his political agenda. *sigh*

I'd say more, but then i'd be as bad as BO. This is eventually going to turn into another political ****storm. (Syria is officially yesterdays news.) There will be time enough to rehash tired arguments.

White House spokesman confirmed that they will be pushing for "aggressive gun control legislation" before the Congressional recess. States a need to "settle this once and for all".

Live press conference in Sen. Feinstein's office in five minutes.

Lot of confusion out there, but so far 12 confirmed dead including the shooter. I couldn't believe the scrolls on CNN from the white house to prevent this thing from happening again.

How many mad angry drivers have plowed into crowds this year alone?

You can't stop the angry from gaining on society no matter who they are or what they drive or what kind of weapons they process.

Terrible news!

Prayers and best wishes for those in surgery and their recovery.

Yup, this is starting to make it's rounds now. Standby for the plethora of proxy glorification of the gunman by a literal expose of news stories about him for the next week or three, examining the scumbag in detail. In no time at all, he'll be a household name for a little while, will get his 15 minutes of fame, and will be remembered in crime reference lists for years to come.

Another Richard bites the dust.
