3. "Nothing can be done!"

[calimary]

4. Aw, SHIT. Not AGAIN!!!!!

Actually, I take that back. Should be Aw, SHIT. Yeah. AGAIN!!!!!

[IronLionZion]

5. Any doors or mental illness to blame here?

Travel ban, build the wall, or more police? Or maybe just thoughts and prayers again because the problem is never guns

[Initech]

8. It's close to DC so I'm guessing they'll blame helicopters and no fly zones.

[IronLionZion]

12. 77 miles from the White House so they'll blame gun free zones

[Warpy]

6. 3 dead, one critical

Shooter's car was stopped by a state trooper, no word on whether or not he was arrested.

Nothing to see here, just another good guy with a gun who thought killing some people would solve all his problems.

However, I'm betting the business where it happened did have a door.

7. There was a trooper shot in shoulder. This is my neck of the woods.

9. Did it happen at a business?

What type of business? Can you link to local news?

10. A concrete products factory.

Industrial. Baggers and churners and molds and other stuff most of us never see unless we work in a batch plant.

[Mr.Bill]

11. Thanks.

I wonder if it was an employee who got fired. Seems like that happens too often.

[Warpy]

13. It was mine when god was a lad

I haven't been there since the 70s.

Is the gunner in custody?

14. Did the shooter try to find the truckers at the Hagerstown Speedway?
