"two women and three men"
but IMO these don't read well either..

I was wondering if the nuance meant that of the two females killed, perhaps one was an adult (woman) and the other was a child (girl) so that both were female, but all the males killed were adults, so 'men'?Dave from down under wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 5:57 pmIt shouldn't be mixed descriptors...sugar magnolia wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 5:41 pm Their use of "three men and two females" is very jarring to me.

5 arrested in deadly shooting at Minnesota's Mall of America
Sun, December 25, 2022 at 1:50 AM GMT+1
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (AP) — Five people were arrested in the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old man at the Mall of America that sent the sprawling commercial center into lockdown on one of the final days of the holiday shopping season, police said Saturday.
At an evening news conference, Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges announced the arrests in connection with the Friday night shooting in the Minneapolis suburb of Bloomington and said all would face murder charges, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported.
Hodges said the arrested suspects were two men, 18, and three 17-year-old male juveniles, according to the Star Tribune, and they were taken into custody in the morning at a home in nearby St. Louis Park by SWAT team officers from three jurisdictions.
The chief added that one of the 18-year-olds is believed to be the shooter, though another suspect may also have fired a weapon. A sixth suspect was still being sought.
“In Bloomington, if you come here and murder people at our mall, you get one of these at at Christmas,” the newspaper quoted Hodges as saying while holding up an orange prison suit.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz tweeted Saturday that the mall shooting was “absolutely unacceptable. We are in touch with local officials to provide the support and resources they need.”

Houston mechanic killed over $500 repairs days before Christmas, family pleading for justice
By Gabby Hart
Published December 25, 2022 6:12PM
HOUSTON - As many are finishing up their Christmas celebrations one Houston family spent their Christmas pleading for justice after a local mechanic was shot and killed.
It's been a heartbreaking holiday for the family of 29-year-old Luis Manuel, a mechanic, husband, and father of two young girls.
The family tells FOX 26 that Manuel showed up at his auto shop in the 7600 block of N Fwy Friday afternoon.
He was planning to collect money from his alleged killer for fixing his truck, but when the unidentified man came to pick up his vehicle, he had five other Hispanic men along with him and refused to pay Manuel the $500 he owed.
We're told when the men became aggressive Manuel told them to just take the truck before taking off.
The family says Manuel's killers chased him down and shot him in the head. He died at the hospital.
Manuel's sister, Sandy Casillas, says he planned to pick that money up and go buy Christmas presents for his girls.
"They didn't just take $500.00 they took a life, they took our life, they took a father," she said.

https://www.azfamily.com/2022/12/24/pol ... s-station/Police: Woman tracks down stolen car, kills 2 men at gas station
A St. Louis County woman is charged with two counts of first-degree murder after she tracked down her stolen car and allegedly killed two men outside a gas station, police said.
Demesha Coleman, 35, of Spanish Lake, was charged Thursday in the deaths of Darius Jackson, 19, and Joseph Farrar, 49. Another man was shot in the head during the shootout but survived.
It was not immediately clear which, if any, of the three men were suspected of stealing Coleman’s car, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
Surveillance video showed Coleman walking up to a Hyundai Tucson at the gas station with a man who was also carrying a weapon, according to a police detective. Police have not released the man’s name.
The video shows Coleman opening the car door with her gun raised, while the man opens another door, also with his gun raised.
Coleman opened fire and sparked the shootout, police said.
She told detectives during a recorded interview that she went to the gas station to take her stolen car back, police said.
Coleman, who has no prior criminal history, is charged with two counts of murder, one count of assault and three counts of armed criminal action. Online court records do not name an attorney for Coleman.

Don Sweeney
Sun, January 1, 2023 at 4:57 PM GMT+1
A 55-year-old man faces charges that he shot his wife in the leg after she honked a horn at him, Colorado officials reported.
The Pueblo man had gone with his wife to a private home to discuss buying a vehicle Friday, Dec. 30, the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.
After the man had been inside a trailer on the property for 30 minutes, his wife began honking the horn for him to come out, sheriff’s officials said.
The man emerged with a pistol and fired three shots, the release said. One hit the 56-year-old woman in the leg inside their truck.
She was treated and released at a hospital, sheriff’s officials said. The man denied firing a pistol, but deputies found two handguns and shell casings.
He was arrested on charges of illegal discharge of a firearm, second-degree assault and felony menacing. A 45-year-old woman in the trailer also was arrested for ”five unrelated outstanding warrants.”

From the above..
"Officers also found the handgun they said was used in the shooting while tracing records show James purchased the gun from a licensed gun dealer in Ohio in 2011."
why domestic terrorists don't want effective gun registries and gun control laws.

Well, from their perspective, the only viable solution is to arm more people so they can stop children with guns. An armed teacher, or other armed 6 year olds, could have shot him before he shot anyone, or at least delivered immediate justice!humblescribe wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 7:31 pm How does this happen?

Virginia teacher who was shot by six-year-old tried to confiscate gun – report
Abby Zwerner, 25, had life-threatening injuries but is now continuing to improve in hospital
Erum Salam
Mon 9 Jan 2023 16.51 GMT
The Virginia school teacher shot by her six-year-old student was injured after she sought to confiscate the weapon from the child who had revealed the gun in class, a parent of another child in the class has said.
Brittaney Gregory, whose son is in the same class as the shooter at Richneck elementary school in Newport News, Virginia, detailed her son’s reaction to the shocking scene to the Washington Post newspaper. Gregory said her son told her he that he felt like he couldn’t breathe when the gun was fired.
Gregory said the class was reading and about to go to art class when the child pulled a handgun from their backpack and pointed it at his teacher, Abby Zwerner. “She was going to confiscate it, and that’s when he shot,” Gregory told the Post.
Gregory described Zwerner as a “sweet lady” and “very attentive”. She said Zwerner was her son’s favorite teacher.
Zwerner, 25, had injuries described as life-threatening but she is now continuing to improve in the hospital. She was shot in the abdomen through her hand.
After she was shot, the teacher told the other students to run. The students stayed in lockdown in another teacher’s classroom.
It is not known how the child came to be in possession of the handgun he used to shoot his teacher.
