In reply to the discussion: Police responding to report of active shooter in Dayton, Ohio [View all]CountAllVotes

Police and emergency personnel are responding to reports of a shooting in Dayton, Ohio.
Multiple people were shot in the Oregon District neighborhood on Saturday night, according to local media. A Dayton police dispatcher would not confirm the reports, telling HuffPost only that they had nobody available to talk right now.
The reported attack came hours after at least 20 people were killed in a mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, and less than a week after a gunman opened fire at a garlic festival in California, killing three people including two children.

Folks, they are MURDERERS, not shooters. They KILL WITH GUNS; calling it shooting is dishonest. .nt

Calling the murderer the "shooter" is as distant as you could get from personal involvement.
