Nine killed in shooting at Omaha mall, including gunman
Ok. I can already tell you the rest of the story. Troubled individual. Semi-auto rifle that everyone will call an AK-47 and/or "assault rifle", mall rule against having weapons.
Then, calls for more civilian disarmament. Using the dead for political gain. Calls for more money.
PGP has more.
I called the first one:
The alleged shooter, a 19-year-old man, left a suicide note stating, "I'm going out in style," a local news station reported.
Had history of issues and a record.
An interesting little piece of editing:
"Wednesday's shooting was the second mass shooting at a mall this year. In February, nine people were shot, five of them fatally, at Trolley Square mall in Salt Lake City. The gunman, 18-year-old Sulejman Talovic, was shot and killed by police."
In reality, it was an off-duty police officer who was carrying against the rules of the mall.
Supposedly, the rifle was an SKS.
ReplyDeleteI haven't decided if that's better (in terms of giving the other side ammo), or worse, than if it had been a semi-auto AK clone.
