CNN Reporting Police Understating Illinois Shooting #'s. At Least 31 Hospitalized W/Gunshot Wounds

[SoCalDavidS]

The death toll is going to rise.

[calimary]

1. OMG!

Dear God, when does it stop?

[Crunchy Frog]

5. It doesn't. This is simply how things are in this country.

[ProfessorGAC]

2. Right Now, 6 Dead 24 Hospitalized

I just watched the news conference on WGN news.
Reporters there are cautioning that both numbers could go higher.
So, the CNN statement seems hyperbolic.
I get no sense they're trying to conceal anything.

9. WGN definitely reported that their sources at the Northshore Hospital system said most

of the hospitalized are gun shot wounds.

[ProfessorGAC]

13. I Heard That, As Well

Just a few seconds ago i heard 32 hospitalized.
So, that number keeps going up. Deaths likely will too.
Several victims are in surgery, same source.

[USALiberal]

21. So true, it is bound to be a mess for a while! Nt

[Demovictory9]

3. These gunshot wounds are life changing

[ornotna]

4. They just interviewed a witness

She said it sounded like a full auto gun.

[NutmegYankee]

6. It wasn't.

I listened to videos. Any semi-auto can be fired at that pace.

[Hugin]

8. There's little difference these days.

Each round feeds the next. Waiting for a trigger pull.

[NutmegYankee]

11. Full auto can put out about 10 times the bullets in the same amount of time.

Semi is 45-60 rounds per minute. Full auto is around 600-800 rounds per minute. That's not a trivial difference.

[Hugin]

18. Most of them missing the target.

So a waste.

[48656c6c6f20]

20. Whew thank god

I'll get right on to telling the corpses that it wasn't an automatic gun welded by a gun nut in GunMurka that gunned them down.

[NutmegYankee]

22. On the bright side, you have fewer to tell that too.

The context you replied to was someone saying they thought it as automatic, and me stating "no, you can tell it was just another asshole with an AR-15".

[48656c6c6f20]

23. Yes gun education is very important to you folks

I get it.

[NutmegYankee]

24. Who is "you folks"

I sure as fuck aint' part of the AR-15 fan club.

[moonshinegnomie]

7. i heard the shots on a video from someone there

not a full auto. a semi auto. theres a huge difference. on full auto a wapon can fire 10 shots a second. on the video you can clearly hear the rate of fire and its what you would expect from an ar-15 type rifle

[Scrivener7]

10. Oh, for fuck's sake. Who gives a shit? It's enough of a gun to have ended and ruined scores

of lives in a heartbeat.

[enough]

15. Right on.

[chowder66]

16. +1000

[calimary]

17. There certainly is that.

[Retrograde]

12. It's still murder

and the victims are just as dead.

[Boomerproud]

14. Thank you.

Tell the families that the type of weapon matters.
