2 dead, 14 injured after shooting at Texas homecoming party

GREENVILLE, Texas (AP) — A gunman opened fire at an off-campus party for a nearby Texas college, leaving two people dead and 14 injured before he escaped in the ensuing chaos, a sheriff said Sunday.

Authorities believe the shooter may have been targeting just one person at the party of about 750 people outside Greenville, 15 miles (24 kilometers) southwest of a satellite campus for Texas A&M University, and that others may have been shot at random, Hunt County Sheriff Randy Meeks said.

(snip)

Word of the shooting spread online overnight, with many sharing on social media graphic video purported to show seriously wounded victims lying on the ground as crying and screaming could be heard in the background.

“I just briefly saw one that was a very graphic video,” Meeks said. “I don’t know that’s going to help anything at all.”

If Trump wants to show leadership and make Americans safe. Two dead 14 injured in yet another mass shooting.

Show some real leadership.

because Baghdadi was just being assigned his 72 virgins in heaven.

Interesting thought, is that why the NRA is willing to sacrifice school children in the name of the second amendment, could they have a secret deal with these terrorists? Just saying....

These mass shootings are so common now, they don't make the front page of the major news outlets.
