A gunman, possibly a disgruntled ex-employee of WDBJ, murdered one of the station's reporters and her cameraman while they were conducting an interview. He escaped, but a suspect has been found following a chase and accident. The suspect is said to have shot himself and is suffering from life-threatening injuries. Story |

Initial reports said he was dead but they are reporting now that he is in critical condition. Rt. 66 is shut down in both directions near Linden VA, what a mess that will be for commuters.
Such a terrible story. I know exactly where that shooting took place, we have vacationed many times at Smith Mountain Lake. I absolutely love it there.
I just read there was a third victim in the shooting and he came out of emergency surgery doing well.

Yes, that's what I read. I was surprised when I read it, she hadn't been mentioned in the initial reporting. |

The barrel of this racist's gun hasn't even cooled, and Obama and Slick Hilly are using it to push their anti-gun agenda. These people have to go!

Of course they will blame guns, it's a liberal agenda and only enforces they have no education on running a nation.
The more guns are blamed the stupider they look.

Well, Hillary did tweet out just a little while after the shooting that we needed more gun controls, she turned it into political gun propaganda. I'm not sure stricter gun controls would have helped in this case.
This was racially motivated at the hands of a sicko. He was too busy blaming everyone else for his shortcomings and decided to target innocent people.

It was more gun violence, why on earth wouldn't people who are for more gun control talk about it after the incident? Trump was going on abut not needing more gun control as well. The father of one of the victims is also saying he'll dedicate his life to helping that cause. Strike while the iron is hot. It won't make them any less dead by waiting some imaginary length of time. When you come right down to it, this was one messed up dude---with a gun.

I wish there were an easy answer to getting guns out of the hands of crazy people while not taking them away from law abiding citizens that are not mentally ill.
I'm curious to see what his history is with seeking help and how much his family knew. Did anyone seek help for him?

We should not judge all gun owners by the acts of a couple of lunatics.
Oh, wait. That standard only applies to Muslim mass murderers.

Why isn't anyone talking about rounding up all the Puppet voters and putting them in prison or a psych ward? Every single mass shooter, who's politics can be identified, are Democrats. Democrats need to be curtailed, because they are dangerous. They kill people when they disagree, because they can't handle anyone that doesn't grovel at the feet of the god of government. |

Lock them in rubber rooms, since they have proven they are too mentally damaged to be allowed to run free. Notice that in all those calls for the banning of the "Confederate flag", no one has mentioned that it is the flag of the Democrat Party. |

We can raise taxes to pay for all of them and give them free room and board and food which should make them all very happy!!

No, just one. We can cram them in nice and tight. Their families can pay the freight, since they have stuck us with paying for them for so long. |

This thread is not about gun rights, gun control, or anyone's tyrannical fantasies. Get it back on topic so I don't have to lock it. Thanks.

Okay, so, back to the subject.
This guy was a racist, and mentally unbalanced. So, since he didn't have any 'official' problems, no arrests, no mental health warnings, exactly how should he have been "prevented" from getting a firearm? Apparently he bought the firearm legally.
