Another day, another active shooter - Virginia Beach

Just braking now. Reportedly at a government building. Possibly water treatment facility. Shooter in custody. Multiple injuries reported.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

One unconfirmed dead 6 injured so far.

Single digits? Boring.

Guess we'll just have to wait to see if it's terrorism (person of color) or mental health (white person).

Yup. They are saying multiple dead now but no number.

Maybe we will be surprised and it will turn into left winger/right winger ideology being blamed.

Put yourself in their place.
Its a friday.
Your borde.
You have more guns in your closet than the US Army.
So, what would you do?
And that is why we go through this every other week.

Yeah initially there wa some saying there were but now it’s just saying injuries everywhere.

Looks like it was also a courthouse.

CNN says 11 dead, 6 wounded.

Oh Jesus. I did see one saying multiple but they didn’t want to say how many. That’s brutal if accurate.

 

[Paratus]

NY Times is saying 11 dead

 

[woolfe9998]

They're also saying it was an employee, a workplace shooting. Shooter not in custody. Killed by police.

Now we are into double digits. Worth a few thoughts and prayers I suppose.

Another day in America. .

Sad indictment of The American gun culture

 

[Thebobo]

Seems this person was wondering around for a while in the building? We know what guns were used?

I think it’s one of those ones that were designed to kill stuff. I could be wrong.

Guns are like PEZ dispensers for freedom.

Wow. That went from 6 wounded to 11 dead in just a few minutes.

Sad when they say things like "The incident is the deadliest mass shooting in the US since November." Since November. Sigh.

That's actually a long time. Good job America, must have been a slow 6 months.

Remember there is absolutely nothing to be done about gun violence. The only option is to require everyone to undergo SWAT training and carry an M4 at all times.

Sad indictment of The American gun culture

Yep. And even worse, nobody even seems to call for stronger gun laws anymore when something like this happens. Just seems pointless because the NRA and 2nd amendment fanatics are so firmly entrenched.

 

[Mai72]

That's it! Why...

I'm moving to North Korea. Seems safer, no? 🙁🙁🙁

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say this as anything other than a condescendingly sarcastic straw man created by someone who believes that gun bans are the only solution to gun violence.

I personally think we can achieve a huge reduction in gun violence by ending the war on drugs and thereby eliminating the violent gangs and cartels that can only exist with the black market created by the war. Although estimates vary widely, anywhere between 1/3 - 2/3 of gun murders are directly related to the war on drugs. I see ending the war on drugs as a great first step in reducing gun violence, and we can do it without taking a single gun away from a single person.

I don't think drug violence accounts for hardly any of these mass shootings. Might help poor neighborhoods and such, to an extent, but the issue is far larger than your proposed solution. Average Joe has guns. Average Joe is freaking crazy.
