Where Will The Next School Massacre Be?

[Davey Jones' Locker 1,324]

Not a massacre but I just walked straight into this during my lunch hour. It is still ongoing as I post this. (The site is giving live updates.) This kind of thing doesn't normally happen in sleepy old Brisbane.

 

Bloody selfish gunman to be interrupting my lunch like that.

 

UPDATE: It is all over. The police have him.

strange, the story I've heard is "Four people have been shot dead in two shootings in two villages in upstate New York, US police say"

Not exactly a mass shooting now is it?

Four dead, two wounded, so there's (presumably) six people shot. The two villages are adjacent to each other either side of a river, according to the BBC.

I still wouldn't call that a mass shooting.

I'd agree, it's 'multiple' rather than 'mass'.

Unless they were in church, or going to church, or summat like that

Whatever it was, the police shot him dead

Whatever it was, the police shot him dead

 

His victims were killed in a barbers and a car wash.

 

Sounds pretty cut and dried.

I guess the police took a little of the top .

Two wounded? Hardly what I'd call a massacre!

No-one dead in mass stabbing at school.

 

This is actually the point that someone was trying to make earlier in the thread.

 

Removing the guns will not stop the attacks but it may make them less deadly

One person dead isn't a massacre.

Perhaps the topic should be renamed or another topic be created for random mass shootings e.g. workplace shootings.

actually in a way it was a sort of school shooting because it was a college campus. The americans really need to think about changing their gun ownership laws if you ask me.Too many mad people live there!
