This appears to be ongoing, although it commenced some hours ago. Hard to really tell if it's over or what's going on, but the governor said 12-13 people are dead, and there were or still are hostages involved.

Was at civic center doing testing for citizenship. The shooter was 42 years old from upstate NY. He blocked the exit in the back with his car then went to the front and started shooting.

I wonder if the civic center had a "We ban guns on these premises sign".

Thank goodness freedom of speech doesn't apply to private websites such as AnandTech.

see, if those people inside had concealed carry permits, none of this would have happened, just like the students at Columbine - how silly that each and every student wasn't armed

another week - only 2 mass shootings in the US - down from the week prior, still the weekend left to catch up I guess

Luckily we dont get to pick and choose which amendments should be upheld through the courts.


Too bad nobody stopped him sooner.

It's New York. Good luck on being able to carry.

i stole this from another forum:

Fox news' current spin on the story is that this was a crime related hit job and the other people were collateral. At least that's what they've told Shepard Smith to say. The possibility of this being a hate crime isn't being entertained.

Fox news :roll:

Yeah, lets not entertain the possibility that this guy is your average anti-immigration foxnews loving loony :roll:

I assumed from the get-go it was a disgruntled immigrant. I assume that's the case and not an anti-immigration person.

Could be alright, could go either way though. Could also be a Layed off Worker who also worked there. Best to wait for details.

So does this mean we're going to start arming all immigrants? Lots of people on the forums would be happy with that!

Wouldn't bother me. As long as they pass the same restrictions that I have to I'm fine with arming everyone who enters this country legally.

Especially sad since these are the legal immigrants, trying to do stuff the proper way for a better life.

What a prick. Taking another person's life, there's just nothing lower.

I can only hope they apprehend this guy before he takes his own life.
