42. Used an AR-15 bought that day

Bought the pistol on May 29th. Must not have back ground checks,waiting period or anything. Just buy a Military killing machine in the morning and murder people in the afternoon in Oklahoma.

[Wednesdays]

43. Bought the AR-15 at 2 p.m.

Shooting was less than 3 hours after that.

2. CNN Is Now Covering

You can 100% count on there being several fatalities IMO.

[wnylib]

29. 5 fatalities including the shooter.

No word yet on who his 4 victims were. Still pending notification of families. Possibly patients and staff.

And you have a triumvirate of morons. Of course, any of those three have plenty of other choices to choose from to keep the rotation fresh. GOP has a deep bench....

The Tulsa police trainees just had "active shooter training" 5 days ago.

[xocetaceans]

16. It's just another "abbottoir" like Texas? n/t

[raccoon]

25. Great play on words. Nt

[dchill]

28. I wish I had no idea what you meant by that. 😖

[Igel]

33. an "abattoir" is a slaughterhouse.

"Abbot" is the governor of Texas.

"Abbottoir" sounds like "abattoir."

Were "abattoir" not an English word, it would be a clever bilingual pun.

As it is, it's merely a pun. Classed as the lowest form of humor, pun humpers are fond of them.

Not that I'd *ever* think of there being a right to bare puns.

[xocetaceans]

36. Eagles are well known either for acuity of perception or barbs.

Greetings and a haiku dose to or for you, if that's not redundant.
Hopefully, the form is acceptable:

If an eagle, dare,
But of spines or barbs, beware
Vorm Eisstacheldraht.

[dchill]

37. I know. Read my post again!

[AngryOldDem]

6. This has got to stop.

Fuck the Right, fuck the NRA, fuck Ted Cruz…fuck anybody else who turns a blind eye to this.

ENOUGH.

How can anybody be okay with — or rationalize — weekly mass shootings? HOW?

[tblue37]

17. Weekly? It seems several a day now.

[AngryOldDem]

19. Sadly, yes.

There are two more, according to a post in GD. At a Wal-mart in PA and. high school in LA. I’ evseen nothing about either, though, this was a tweet from Shannon Watts.

[wnylib]

30. No 9njuries at Wal-Mart in PA.

Suspect still at large. People are advised to stay home and lock their doors.

I don't have anything on the LA shooting.

Several Shot and Some Are Killed in Attack at Tulsa Medical Building, Police Say

The assailant was dead, but it was unclear if the police had shot him or he had shot himself, officials said.

Multiple people were shot and some were killed on Wednesday afternoon at a medical building in Tulsa, Okla., the Tulsa police said. The assailant, who was armed with a rifle, was dead, according to Capt. Richard Meulenberg of the Tulsa Police Department, who said he was not sure if the police had shot him or if he had shot himself.

Captain Meulenberg said that the gunfire had apparently ceased and that the authorities were searching the building “floor by floor, room by room.” Chief Wendell Franklin of the Tulsa Police said on Twitter that the police had responded to an “active shooter incident” near East 61st Street and South Yale Avenue in Tulsa and next to Saint Francis Hospital.

“Please stay away from the area and yield to all emergency vehicles as we deal with this response,” Chief Franklin said. The Tulsa Police Department said on Twitter that it had set up a reunification site for families at Memorial High School.

The shooting came just eight days after 19 students and two teachers were killed in a mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, and 18 days after 10 people were killed by a gunman at a supermarket in Buffalo, N.Y.

10. Cops going through the building floor by floor.

May not know just how bad this is for awhile.

This is just one fucked-up country. Getting tired of it.

15. There was just a shooting in a medical facility earlier today in Dayton, OH

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142924586 (OP was locked but thread can be read)

[AngryOldDem]

20. I posted about that in LBN this afternoon.

That happened in my hometown — know that hospital well.

EDIT — Don’t agree with the lock, but oh well. ANY shooting right now is a matter of national interest, especially when it occurs in a busy public place like a hospital ER, or a hospital, period, like here.

[BumRushDaShow]

23. It's the hometown of one of my BILs

and his mother, a brother, and a sister and their kids & grands are still in the area.

(ETA - and yup, have been to Dayton but it's been awhile - my sis makes the trip with my BIL at least once a year by car from just outside of Philly - a 10 hour drive - my BIL doesn't like to fly)

[catrose]

34. Formerly my home. My son was born there; it was the neighborhood hospital. I'm--distressed.

[FarPoint]

27. Yes.... before this one...

My home town.....

[Novara]

9. When they're being fishy about reporting the number of dead ...

... it usually means it's a lot of people.

Fucking hell, we are not safe ANYWHERE with all these fucking guns everywhere.

[AngryOldDem]

13. Nope.

Just when will bulletproof vests be handed out like the face masks?

Serious question. This is just as much a public health issue.

[Demovictory9]

22. arm doctors and nurses, republicans will say

[BumRushDaShow]

18. WaPo reporting "at least 3" in addition to the shooter

At least three people killed at Tulsa medical building, police say

A gunman killed at least three people at a medical building in Tulsa, police said Wednesday afternoon. The shooter was also dead.

Tulsa police went to Saint Francis Hospital early Wednesday afternoon after a call about a man armed with a rifle. Capt. Richard Meulenberg said law enforcement is sweeping the building floor by floor for other threats or victims, calling the scene “catastrophic.”

Meulenberg said investigators are determining whether the gunman was shot by police or he shot himself.

The White House is closely monitoring the situation and is reaching out to local officials to offer support, a White House official said.


This is a developing story that will be updated.

26. Oh, no! Someone must have left a door open! When oh when will we enact

sensible door legislation?

directed at Ted Cruz

[IronLionZion]

32. Should we argue about who left the doors unlocked?

harden the hospitals? Keep armed combat veterans guarding every hospital, grocery store, school, theater, outdoor concert, etc.?

Since we can't politicize a tragedy by talking about a well regulated militia.

[LeftInTX]

38. Armed guards at Ted Cruz's colonoscopy!

[IronLionZion]

40. Can't leave him vulnerable in a gun free zone

Lock him inside with no escape

[Mawspam2]

35. Tomorrow's NRA line tonight.

We need to arm all nurses.

[callous taoboy]

39. We must arm all medical staff!

... just in case.
