I have a bad feeling about this church shooting and possible number of dead. I recall Sandy

[riversedge]

shooting to be eerie like like. Not knowing the numbers. Police on saying anything. Ambulances really not
moving in and out. Most just sitting at the scene. We waited a long time to find 22 kids blown apart.

1. BBC alert reported at least 27 dead

6. OMG-

[HAB911]

2. CNN reporting 27 dead

but it's early yet

[riversedge]

4. OMG!! I had no idea. OMG!!

[sheshe2]

12. Also 24 wounded from CNN.

3. The media was very slow about reporting this, the national media that is. CBS

national news was first to report it.

7. I wonder if one reason is

because it's not in a metro area near media outlets?

So tragic. When will this madness end? 😢

11. Probably not until victims include leadership from gun manufacturers and NRA, and

that is never.

[Island Blue]

16. That was kind of a rhetorical question,

but you're exactly right.

8. It was the same with the Pulse shooting, and the Vegas shooting.

I guess it's better to report carefully. With the Vegas shooting, the police response clearly would not have been warranted by the early reports of 2 dead. Sigh.

5. What church shooting?

9. It takes a while to figure it all out. Accuracy is more important than inaccurate speedy news

[maryellen99]

10. And dont forget they may be another crime scene too nt

Rumors are he killed his family first.

[sheshe2]

15. Damn, I missed that part.

[Drunken Irishman]

18. There's some rumors about a white man who shot his family before heading to the church.

But everything should be taken with a grain of salt at this point. It's also possible his family was victims of the shooting and there's just some miscommunication.

[sheshe2]

19. You are right.

Watching CNN now.

14. I wonder if there was crossfire

As our friend Wayne LaPierre says, "The only way ti stop a bad guy witha gun is with a good guy with a gun." A lot of Texans carry firearms at all times, licensed or not. I wonder if the shooter is responsible for all the deaths and injurues or somebody decided to be a hero and started shooting back.

17. Well, ONLY 27 dead and ONLY 20-25 more injured. Gee, that's not bad at all.

As far as mass homicides with guns go, that's hitting pretty low on the old totem pole there. Pulse and Las Vegas were much better events, so to speak. This one is hardly worth mentioning. What, with such low killed/injured rates and it not being a Muslim doing the shooting.


just in case people can't tell:


Make sure you thank all those people's families for their contribution to the price of freedom.
