CNN — At least three people are dead following an overnight shooting in Yakima, Washington, according to Yakima Police Chief Matt Murray.

Murray said the suspect in the shooting remains at large.

“This is a dangerous person and it’s random, so there is a danger to the community,” Murray said. “We don’t have a motive and we don’t know why.”

While speaking to media Tuesday, Murray said at approximately 3:30 a.m., a male suspect went into a Circle K store on Nob Hill Blvd and started shooting.

The circular logic is killing people, in masses, daily.

Get rid of the 350 Million easily purchased and possessed freely Guns.

The Wild West had more gun controls, literally!

Yakima has gang issues among its Latino population, but there's no way to know if it has anything to do with that. America has all kinds of homicidal crazy MALES.

So many guns in so many hands.

the sun rises and sets only once a day, whereas, shootings and mass shootings are happening more than once a day.

Because the billionaires and Russians that own them aren’t going to let any democratic proposals about gun control happen.

The morons want a country armed to its aching teeth, so be it.I’ll just stay home, and I was taught by a Republican woman not to care about other people’s children who happen to get in the way of bombs or bullets.

Sheriffs could confiscate guns while visitors were in town. Try that now!
We've reached a point where it's news when there ISN'T a mass shooting every day.

Not newsworthy. (Sarcasm if necessary to state)
My daughter is a Trauma Nurse. I can’t believe the gun shot victims weekly here in ruralsville that are never known by public. Multiply that by thousands of never mentioned victims nationwide in so many nowhere places. In my rural mountain area. Gun shots are like being near a military training base. These fools shot many hundreds of dollars of ammo nearly daily. You can imagine the targets they are practicing with. And yet they bitch about egg prices. But Ammo, whatever the cost is fine. Like crack or meth addicts. They will do whatever and pay whatever for bullets.
