I made my weekly trek to Aldi, this morning, and it dawned on me that the store is so small, there would be no place to hide if someone decided to do something similar there. I hate having to think like that.

No other injuries besides the one to his leg. The police wanted him alive. He wanted EVERYONE dead.

unless they are hit in an extremity or get medical help immediately, the loss of blood plus shock of being shot with high velocity ar15 round will be lethal.

there simply is no reason for this type of weapon to be easily available
