do people care about all violence or just gun violence? I will not draw a conclusion just yet.

I have seen at least one conspiracy theory comment so far.

Hopefully the four who have been airlifted will all survive and the other eleven will recover. Thankfully this person did not use a gun as it is possible there could already be deaths; but even better if such incidents do not happen with any weapon.

Too vague. mac56 Apr 2013 #28

It seems there is greater concern sarisataka Apr 2013 #30
