Re: Another Shooting
Before filly went to her summer cave, she would post Houston headlines. Lots of gun violence and needless death.
I’m beginning to think Texas gun violence needs its own thread.

Re: Another Shooting
I don't post local shootings because that would be a full time job. Our mass shootings don't even make the news any more. In one 9 hour period we had a 6 yo, a 9 yo, a 15 yo and a 12 yo shot. Fortunately, only the 12 yo was a fatality.Phoenix520 wrote: ↑Mon May 30, 2022 5:09 pm Before filly went to her summer cave, she would post Houston headlines. Lots of gun violence and needless death.

Shooting at a local festival a couple of weeks ago, 1 dead, 6 injured.
We're already above this time last year in homicides and last year set a record.
https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/26/politics ... index.html
The top states by gun death rates are:
Mississippi -- 28.6.
Louisiana -- 26.3.
Wyoming -- 25.9.
Missouri -- 23.9.
Alabama -- 23.6.
Alaska -- 23.5.
All of those states with the highest gun death rates are among the ones with the highest gun ownership rates.
Mississippi -- 50% of adults live in a household with a gun.
Louisiana -- 48%.
Wyoming -- 59%.
Missouri -- 48%.
Alabama -- 50%.
Alaska -- 59%.
According to Everytown's analysis of FBI data, the cities with the highest gun homicide rates in 2020 were all in states with lax gun laws:
Jackson, Mississippi -- 69 gun homicides per 100,000 people.
Gary, Indiana -- 64.
St. Louis -- 50.
New Orleans -- 48.
Memphis, Tennessee -- 47.

Re: Another Shooting
I keep seeing this one get passed around from the other day. So here goes. Guy goes the grocery shop, open carrying a rifle. Another armed dude relieves him of said rifle. Dude in the first place goes to his car and retrieves, I guess his backup gun? A shoot out ensues. The guy that robbed the rifle gets shot. The guy that shot him flees. Two innocent women get plugged, non-life threatening. Then a third dude shows up, plugs the second dude that stole the rifle AGAIN, and then he flees. Nobody knows WTF happened yet, or who is related to who or what. Link, but not more: https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/crime ... 73079d7b1a

Re: Another Shooting
Sounds like they'll want to arm the nurses next, as well as only one locked entrance per hospital?

Re: Another Shooting
Current known active shooters.
The LA one, the kid was shot OUTSIDE the school at dismissal. Not sure how hardening the school with a single entrance would have helped that.Text ACT to 644-33 @shannonrwatts wrote: Shootings unfolding simultaneously right now in America: At a hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma; a Walmart in Pittson, Pennsylvania; and a high school in Los Angeles, California.

In a single door scenario, if that student was the target, the shooter knew exactly where to find him.
