A woman and two men are dead. Another man, who called police, was injured.

Thurston County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Dave Pearsall said a man called 911 at 5:15 a.m. Wednesday saying his friends were dead, he was shot and he wasn't sure where he was.

It never stops - mass killings 1/week on average. This one doesn't quite meet the FBI's standard of 4 dead for a Mass Killing. Cold comfort.

"They said the house is known for drug problems and authorities conducted a raid there about a year ago"

Why does gun culture like letting criminals and terrorists get guns so easily?

When I headed to work this morning and saw how many police cars were behind the barricades that they had shut the road down with, I knew something big was going on. Crazy shit, man.

It could be drugs, or a "lone wolf", with "psychological problems".

Like I said, I live about 1/4 mile away. Generally not a bad area, but there are little pockets of tweakers.
