https://abcnews.go.com/US/6-children-1- ... d=974327282-year-old among 7 hurt in mass shooting at schoolyard in Philadelphia
The shooting took place at the schoolyard of the James G. Blaine School.
Seven people, including six children, are injured following a mass shooting at a schoolyard in Philadelphia on Thursday, police said.
A 2-year-old girl, 13-year-old boy, 15-year-old boy and two 16-year-old boys were shot in the schoolyard of the James G. Blaine School at about 5:52 p.m. Thursday, according to Philadelphia police. All were listed in stable condition at local hospitals, police said.
A 31-year-old woman was shot twice and is in stable condition, police said.
A 17-year-old boy was also grazed by a bullet and is in stable condition, according to police.
"This has been a fairly quiet portion of the 22nd District for quite some time now," Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw told reporters. "So at this point we're piecing everything together to figure out if this is retaliatory, if some of those victims [were] intended or not."

Report: Every Extremist Mass Killing In The US In 2022 Was Tied To The Far-Right
Imagine that!
https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/repo ... -far-rightIn 2022, right-wing extremists committed every ideologically driven mass killing identified in the U.S., according to a new report from the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism.
The report released Thursday found that last year, domestic extremists killed at least 25 people in the U.S. in 12 separate incidents. 18 of those 25 killings were committed in whole or in part with ideological motives. And the remaining seven either had no clear motive or were committed for a non-ideological reason.
Although extremist killings decreased in 2022 compared to 2021 — when 33 extremist-related murders took place — the trend is still concerning as an “unusually high” proportion were carried out by white supremacists, according to the ADL’s report.
The report found that 60% of the deaths tied to extremist mass killings last year came from two incidents: the racist mass shooting in a supermarket in Buffalo, New York and the mass shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs.
Imagine that!

No doubt this is a serious issue, but I dislike how it appears he's misrepresenting the facts in his headline. I saw a story on this earlier that said 80% of the extremist mass killings were related to the far-right. Even in his own piece, he says 18 of the 25 murders were committed with ideological motives and that the other 7 were either unclear as to the motive, or were not ideological. I'm not sure how he or the ADL is classifying those other 7 killings as extremist if they don't know for sure why they were committed, but since those are uncertain, it seems to me saying "all" of the extremist mass killings were right-wing is inaccurate.MsDaisy wrote: ↑Fri Feb 24, 2023 8:00 pm Report: Every Extremist Mass Killing In The US In 2022 Was Tied To The Far-Right

The city prosecutor in Newport News, Virginia, said Wednesday that he would not seek charges against the 6-year-old boy who shot his elementary school teacher in January but has yet to decide whether any adults associated with the case could be held criminally liable.
In an interview with NBC News, Newport News Commonwealth's Attorney Howard Gwynn said the "prospect that a 6-year-old can stand trial is problematic" given that a child that young wouldn't have the competency to understand the legal system and what a charge means or adequately assist an attorney. It's not unheard of for an adolescent of that age to be arrested in general, and theoretically, a 6-year-old child could be criminally charged under Virginia law.
But Gwynn said that he does not believe there is a legal basis to charge a child and that his office, after receiving the case in February from Newport News police, is focusing on others.

Yeah, how could charging a kid that young be considered? But charge whoever was irresponsible with the weapon and ammo.

I spent more brain cycles composing this reply than the 5 seconds it should have taken him to know not to charge the 6 year old.

https://www.wafb.com/2023/03/09/lawyers ... f-defense/Lawyers: Former NBA star Shawn Kemp fired in self-defense
Former NBA star Shawn Kemp acted in self-defense when he exchanged gunfire in a Washington parking lot while trying to retrieve a stolen cell phone and other items, his attorneys said Thursday.
Kemp, 53, was arrested by Tacoma police Wednesday for investigation of a drive-by shooting but was released from jail Thursday afternoon without charges having been filed. The Pierce County Prosecutor’s Office said it would not file charges pending further investigation.
“We’re grateful they didn’t rush to judgment,” said Seattle criminal defense lawyer Tim Leary, who is representing Kemp.
In a written statement, another Kemp attorney, W. Scott Boatman, said Kemp’s vehicle was broken into Tuesday night and several items were taken — including an iPhone. Kemp tracked the phone’s location to an occupied car at the Tacoma Mall, and when Kemp confronted the individuals inside, they shot at him, and he returned fire, Boatright said.
“There was not a drive by shooting as previously reported and Mr. Kemp’s actions were reasonable and legally justified,” Boatman said. “Mr. Kemp met with law enforcement at the scene in an attempt to assist in the matter.”

Hamburg shooting: attack at Jehovah’s Witness hall leaves seven dead and dozens wounded in Germany
Chancellor Olaf Scholz denounce ‘brutal act’ as police search for motive for mass shooting in northern city
Jon Henley and Helen Sullivan
Fri 10 Mar 2023 07.16 GMT
Germany’s chancellor, Olaf Scholz, has denounced a “brutal act of violence” after a shooting that reportedly left at least seven people dead and dozens injured at a Jehovah’s Witness centre in Hamburg on Thursday night. The police said the gunman was believed to be dead and that the motive remained unclear.
Scholz said his thoughts were with the victims, while the Jehovah’s Witnesses community in Germany said its members had been targeted in a “horrific attack”.
The Bild newspaper reported that seven people were dead and 25 others injured, of which eight were seriously wounded. It is unclear if the attacker was included in the death toll. Police said that several people were seriously injured but declined to say how many had died, Reuters reported.
Soon after the attack, which began at around 9pm on Thursday, a police spokesperson said “We have no indications of a perpetrator on the run.” Later, police said that they had found a “lifeless person … who we believe could be a perpetrator” at the centre but that investigations were ongoing.

Police say Alabama star Brandon Miller delivered gun to former teammate Darius Miles before shooting
Alabama coach Nate Oats: Miller in 'wrong spot at the wrong time'
NICK BROMBERG
Wed, Feb 22, 2023
Tuscaloosa police testified Tuesday that star Alabama freshman Brandon Miller delivered the gun used in a shooting that killed Jamea Harris on Jan. 15.
Former Alabama player Darius Miles and another man, Michael Davis, are facing capital murder charges for the shooting. Miles was removed from the team after he was arrested. Davis is accused of shooting Harris while Miles has admitted in court records to giving Davis the gun for the shooting.
Miller has not been charged with a crime for allegedly bringing Miles the gun. Miller has played in all 27 games for No. 2 Alabama and is the team’s leading scorer with nearly 19 points per game. He’s projected to be a likely lottery pick in the 2023 NBA draft.
Per Al.com, police said in a preliminary hearing that Miles sent Miller a text message to bring Miles' gun to where the shooting took place. Miller’s car was hit twice by gunfire during the shooting.

Hmm. Loose loaded guns all over the house I imagine. One of my uncles was a gun-nut. (RIP) He had loaded handguns stashed everywhere (under the couch, in the drawers, etc) . When he would host a family gathering, I tried to keep everyone outside in the yard away from that. Totally reckless gun behavior.

In what comes as a freak accident, a three-year-old kid killed her four-year-old sister by accidentally firing a pistol in the state of Texas on Sunday night. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez informed about the accident and said the sister died on the spot.
According to a Fox News report, there were five adults and two girls in the home when the shooting took place at Bammel North Houston Road apartment near Tomball Parkway. The girls lived with their parents in the apartment and were joined by family and friends.

A 5-year-old was killed and two other juveniles were hurt in a drive-by shooting in Tempe Friday night.
Police said the shooting happened at around 11:45 p.m. when a vehicle, with one adults and six children as passengers inside, was headed east near 48th Street and Broadway Road when another vehicle pulled up alongside it, CNN is reporting. A person in the second vehicle began shooting at the first vehicle, hitting several children.
Three children between the ages of 5 and 17 years old were taken to the hospital, and the 5-year-old child was pronounced dead, authorities said.
The other two children were in critical condition but are expected to survive, according to Fox 10 Phoenix. Authorities are still looking for the suspects in the shooting, and it's unclear at this point what happened prior to the shooting.

Good work by the security guard - later in the video you see the security guard grabbing the gun as the Good Guy With A Gun* tries to enter the nught club door.
*after all - up until the guy/gal with the gun does something illegal, and even for some after they do, the merchants of death will not tolerate any other classification.
