Eight people, including a suspect, were killed Sunday evening in a shooting incident at a Plano home. The shooting happened in the 1700 block of W. Spring Creek Pkwy near Blue Ridge Trail

Plano police initially responded to a weapons call when officers heard shots when they approached the home.
Police shot and killed the suspect on arrival at the home, according to Plano police officer David Tilley.

"The first arriving officer on scene made entry inside the house, confronted the suspect, ultimately shooting and killing him.”

Once inside the home, police found 9 gunshot victims. 7 of the victims were dead at the scene and 2 additional victims were transported to a local hospital. The suspect's death brings the total number of dead to 8 people.

5. From the story I posted below,

it indicated that the couple that owned the home had filed for divorce. I don't know whether that was tied to the violence though.

4. I'm very familiar with the area since I had a friend that lived on Spring Creek Parkway

about 15 years ago.

I wonder if the gunman bet on the Giants and was upset about the loss?

Here is the story from the Dallas Morning News:

6. No hand-wringing here. They don't want to control gunz.

So this is what they get.

I don't want to hear about it.

7. Thank you...

11. Blaming the Victims makes you look a fool

You sure those 8 dead folk deserved to be
shot dead?

I find that attitude despicable.

[lindysalsagal]

12. My attitude is if they don't care enough to control gunz, then stop asking me to care about victims.

Caring never translates into action. Caring without action is meaningless hand wringing, designed to make the hand-wringers feel somehow superior.

We get the government we deserve, including gun violence victims.

I don't own a gun and I never shot anyone, so, don't blame me.

[Saboburns]

13. I dont care whether you care about the victims or not

Nobody blamed you.

You are blaming the dead victims, and have somehow come to the conclusion that the dead victims deserve to be dead and that you, somehow, know about each victims gun control view, and that all 8 dead deserve what they got because, somehow, all 8 are fervantly anti-gun control.

Tell me, how do come to know these things about 8 people who are dead? So that I, too, in the future, can ascertain such things through the ether.

8. that sounds like a nice area

although who knows someone's motivations may be what a tragedy.
