All-purpose "mass shooting" thread

[QuikSand]

Another incident today, in Fort Lauderdale. Details seeping out slowly.

Thought we'd leave this thread open-ended, rather than start a new one for the next twenty incidents like this we will inevitably have.

Space held for abusive comments about the need for aggressive gun control.

[QuikSand]

Space held for offensive comments about immigrants.

[QuikSand]

Space held for inevitable political diatribes of only tangentially related matters.

[QuikSand]

Space held in the longshot event there's something productive to say about this sort of thing.

[QuikSand]

Please commence the "thoughts and prayers," body count speculation, and demographic analysis now. Thanks for your patience.

[Kodos]

Space held for inevitable "mass shoting" correction.

[albionmoonlight]

Space held for either calling the shooting an act of terror or an isolated incident depending on the race/religion of the shooter.

The conspiracy theorists always fascinate me in their rationalizations. This dude can't just be crazy, it has to an Obama MK Ultra plot. However, for some reason they're also heavily invested in Trump, so they jump on people who say its just as likely a false flag to have the media ignore the intelligence report. Either nutty theory is as likely as any other.

You win. You are very, very, very, very, smart....but we've already told you that a million times. Perhaps we should just put up a sticky about it and move on. In any event, Congrats on your big win here.

Rational thought is never the strong suit of the conspiracy minded.

[CrescentMoonie]

Conspiracy theory belief should be classified as a mental illness.

We have started quite a bit of new threads since this original post. Thought I would contribute.

Old enough to remember jokes about "going postal". Its now gone mainstream I guess.

A woman killed three people and wounded three others before fatally shooting herself at a drugstore distribution center Thursday in Harford County, Maryland, officials said.

A source close to the investigation said the woman was a disgruntled employee. Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler told reporters the woman was a temporary employee and showed up for work at her normal time.
:
It's the third high-profile shooting in the US in two days
:
The shooting came a day after two other shootings that made national news. A shooting at an office complex in Middleton, Wisconsin, left three people hurt Wednesday, and a gunman wounded four people at the Masontown Borough Municipal Center in Pennsylvania later in the day.
Police killed the shooters in both Wednesday incidents.

Had one in Wisconsin the other day too by a disgruntled employee.

I remember like 15 years ago I worked at a company that fired someone. He threatened some people on his way out. Didn't think much of it at the time but it probably should have been taken more seriously.

A good college friend of mine was in that building on another floor. She is fine, but obviously shaken.

7 officers shot yesterday. 1 died. Suspect in custody.

Florence shooting: 7 South Carolina officers shot, 1 fatally, after attempt to serve warrant - The Washington Post

One of my employees has a 1st cousin that is in law enforcement and was on scene yesterday, but not injured.


From what he told me, it wasnt a search warrant but he was actually being served divorce papers. The separating couple were both lawyers. The shooter/husband was somewhat recently dis-barred (is that the proper term...had his right to practice law license revoked) said they went to the door to serve the papers and the suspect shot through the door at them.

[Thomkal]

Yeah Florence about an hour away from here, so was big news. What I've seen from the reporting here is that they went to serve a search warrant on the son of the man who did all the shooting-a 72 year old man. There were several foster children living in the home at the time, and the son was suspected of sexually abusing one or more of them. He was also injured in the shooting.
