Nutjob in NJ dead, along with two others:

OLD BRIDGE, New Jersey (Reuters) - An employee at a suburban New Jersey supermarket opened fire in the store in the pre-dawn hours on Friday, killing two co-workers and then taking his own life, a prosecutor said.

And earlier this week a 15 year old in Baltimore brought a shotgun to the first day of school, shot one kid in the back and then was tackled by a guidance councilor before he could shoot more kids.

A 15-year-old boy suspected of shooting a fellow student on the first day of classes at a Baltimore-area high school has been charged with first-degree attempted murder, but police say they do not know the motive for what apparently was a well-planned attack.

When the hell are these shootings going to stop being a weekly occurrence?

Here in Phoenix this week some kid pulled some shit too. Nobody got hurt though.

A 13-year-old student fired a handgun near a Phoenix elementary school near 38th Avenue and Roeser Road about noon Monday after the student was suspended August 21 for behavioral issues, officials said. There were no reports of injuries.

On Friday, the boy went to Maurice C. Cash Elementary School, which has students from kindergarten through eighth grade, but personnel were able to get him to leave because he was suspended, according to Phoenix police.

The student returned again Monday afternoon. While waiting for lunch hour, a member of the school approached the teenager.


The boy fired two to four rounds into the air near the school property, said Sgt. Trent Crump, a Phoenix Police Department spokesman. No one was injured, officials said.

Fucking shit. Found an article about it, sounds like they think it was gang related. Good thing nobody died...

This many shootings isn't right. What the fuck is wrong with people all of a sudden?

That's actually a different one...from 2010. We can put that with the Marleau being stripped of the Captaincy article.

Oh... awesome. It wasn't the first bicycle drive by shooting at a school in Phoenix.

Oh Tashi...did you catch this one I posted yesterday on the Coyotes board?

Ice-cream truck driver shot

An Avondale man was shot Thursday while driving an ice-cream truck near Van Buren Street and Dysart Road, authorities said.

The man and his wife were operating their ice cream truck when the man was shot by an unknown male who was with another male, Avondale police spokesman Brandon Busse said. The wife was not injured.

The man was breathing when he was transported from the scene to the hospital, Busse said. The driver is in critical condition, police said.

Police officers, including K-9 units, were looking for the shooters, Busse said. Schools in the area were released from lockdown after K-9 units cleared the area, he said.

Police officers continue to search for the men, Busse said.

That could be a subject for another thread because there are so many things to list.

In case some don't know...this song was total sarcasm about being pro-gun. On another note...man I loved D.I. I don't think there's a band I've seen live more times than them.

Agenda. False Flags. All garbage.

Also I wouldn't consider 3 people killed (1 being the shooter) as a "mass shooting".

Local stories suddenly becoming national attention because it involved guns...

So how many people need to die for you to call it a mass shooting?

And are you saying that all the shootings that have gained national attention over the last few months is just normal levels of gun violence? It's normal to have this many incidents of shootings and attempted shootings of multiple targets, many of them indiscriminate in their targets?

4 or more must be killed for it to be mass murder according to the FBI.

When shit like this is seen as normal under any circumstance...I would have to say the world is out of control...and it really is.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

There was also a shooting outside the Empire State Building earlier this week... two people dead, apparently the shooter was targeting the victim, his former boss who fired him. Cops killed the shooter.

As for the one in Maryland, according to that rag the NY Daily News, it's all heavy metal's fault.

Music and video games, it's what causes kids to kill...

Well then, the thread should be titled "More near mass shootings".

[tk90]

Not a "mass' shooting, but still a shooting nonetheless. This happened just outside St. Louis...

FERGUSON • A man worried that he couldn't reach his twin sister by phone went to her townhouse in Ferguson early today and kicked in the back door to find a bloody crime scene, authorities say.

The man found his sister and one of her friends dead, authorities say. The friend's 1-year-old daughter — left unharmed by the killer — was crying and near her dead mother, with dried blood on her feet.

Relatives identified the victims as Claudia Williams, 30, who lived at the townhome in the 1600 block of Norlakes Drive, and her longtime friend, Tasheera Johnson, 29, who lived in unincorporated north St. Louis County.

Both women had been shot to death, said Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson. They were killed in the last 24 hours, the chief said.
