8 shot in Texas. 5 dead.

[Demovictory9]

Five people are dead and three others are injured and in unknown conditions, after a man shot several members of his family before killing himself overnight Friday, police say.

According to a statement from Corsicana police, officers received a 911 call at about midnight Saturday that a man, identified as 41-year-old Kevin Milazzo, killed his family.

Officers arrived a short time later at a home on the 2900 block of W. 2nd Avenue and found Milazzo's mom, Connie Mimms, and her husband, Bill Mimms, dead with apparent gunshot wounds and two others injured. The survivors were taken by air ambulance to an unnamed Dallas hospital.

“They’re just really good people. They didn’t deserve for this to happen to them," said neighbor Kim Felix.

Meanwhile, deputies with the Navarro County Sheriff's Department were sent to a different home, in Frost, where they found 21-year-old Joshua Milazzo, the suspect's son, and a child, identified as 4-year-old Hunter Freeman, who had both been fatally shot. Deputies also found an adult woman with multiple gunshot wounds who was also transported to an unnamed Dallas hospital.

2. Guns: read the instruction manual

Then, use as directed.

4. people say weird things

“They’re just really good people. They didn’t deserve for this to happen to them," said neighbor Kim Felix.

makes me wonder if they had been "dirt bags" would she think they deserve this to happen???

15. Rodney Dangerfield did a bit about that. "He was a quiet man."

21. You've obviously missed some threads right here,

where people are considered to have “deserved to die.”

I don’t get it either.

[Kaleva]

5. Police where able to track suspect's car and have it remotely shut off

"Law enforcement was able to locate Milazzo by tracking his vehicle’s GPS system. Corsicana cops, the department’s SWAT team and Navarro County deputies found and approached Milazzo on a rural road after his vehicle’s engine had been remotely shut off by a monitoring service, cops said.

As officers swarmed, they found Milazzo critically injured inside with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Matthew Branch, a medical doctor and member of the SWAT team, provided treatment at the scene, according to police. Milazzo was transported to Navarro Regional Hospital where he died from his injuries."

17. That's really the most interesting part of this story.

That you can have your car remotely stopped--it's happening in real life now. That is pretty crazy. (Five people getting killed, that's just everyday American life unfortunately)

[Demovictory9]

23. remote stopping has been done for years. sometimes by car finance when bill overdue

[LiberatedUSA]

28. I wonder if once that is fully realized...

…an attempt will be made to make it illegal to drive a car that can’t be shut off or doesn’t have a GPS. Might be a good idea to have an old beater in a shed in case of needing to drive somewhere without gps and your phone left at home. When was the last year vehicles were made that had no computer chips in them?

6. a 4 year old

[Demovictory9]

24. yeah... that's barbaric

[KG]

9. let's all take comfort in the notion that guns somehow have nothing to do with people getting shot

[Scrivener7]

10. Another responsible gun owner. If only that four year old had been armed.

11. Go to local school board meetings and

demand Anger Management be taught to all students. We must learn how recognize it in ourselves and others and learn how to deal with it in both.

[Demsrule86]

12. No, we need to get the fucking guns away from these folks. There need to be stronger gun laws.

[Dial H For Hero]

18. Universal background checks are politically feasible at some point in the future,

as is an assault weapons ban. Not at the moment, of course, given the makeup of Congress.

Are you thinking of anything beyond that?

[Demsrule86]

26. My hope is that the gun humpers will lose the battle in the end and wish the hell they had

policed themselves. Is there any gun thread where you don't indicate your support for guns...It truly is sickening to read posts that indicate a complete lack of empathy for gun victims...in this case, some were children. I really don't understand why some are OK with gun violence...I don't.

[Dial H For Hero]

29. Of course I have empathy for innocent gun victims. That doesn't prevent me from looking

at the issue dispassionately. Note that I didn't reply to the OP; had I done so, you and I both know that a simple expression of sympathy on my part would have been responded to from the various posters who are vociferously anti-gun rights with things along the line of, "Well maybe if you weren't such a gun humper/gunner/gun nut who always clings to his 'gunz', more people would be alive!"

Instead, I replied to your post which brought up gun policy, an issue I enjoy debating...though I am disappointed at how often the anti-gun rights side resorts to personalization and name calling.

I really don't understand why some are OK with gun violence...I don't.

I don't know anyone who is OK with all gun violence. On the other hand, there are certainly examples of gun violence which I find perfectly acceptable such as justifiable self-defense.

[BradAllison]

27. Ask President Mansion if it's ok

His voters may not have indoor plumbing, but they damn sure have guns.

[Mr. Ected]

13. One more time, explain to me how this could be considered a well-regulated militia?

The legal and logical machinations required to argue that guns should be limitlessly allowed under the auspices of the 2nd Amendment are akin to to the ones arguing that the insurrectionists were engaged in legitimate political discourse.

[Busterscruggs]

14. Maybe to some people

Hunting means something else than shooting for food. What a sick and twisted mind. Do we know the details of the shooter yet?

[gratuitous]

16. Another discussion around gun violence

You all know the rules: 1. No mention of guns; and 2. No mention of violence. Let's get to solving this problem!

[Septua]

20. ..and it's Biden's fault?

?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

22. An armed society is a polite society.

Pew pew pew…

30. Shithole gunner Texas and duncy Xians defaulting to blaming 'satan'. What could go wrong?

“What is wrong with him, Connie?” She replied, “Satan.” To another friend, she responded, “on antibiotics. Kevin needs God … Satan torments him.”
