Reported that the shooter is a white male in his 50's

Does that honestly surprise anyone anymore?

Nope.

Just like the pictures of perps in 99% inner city violence cases doesn't surprise me anymore.

Why do I get the funny feeling there may be love triangle in this mix? Maybe because that's what it usually is? I dunno.

Also, early reports are that he was white. Also, they said he was a lone white male, 58 years old and white.

Confidential sources inside the police department are saying the shooter is a male, white, and 58 yrs old.

Has a racial motivation been suggested by authorities?

Sad what poverty and being under privileged does.

Jindal sure got over there fast.

I would say that is a responsible thing to do.

Sadly he won't get that justice.

He shot himself.

Sadly he didn't do this first.

The #ing piece of # took his own #ing life.....

Just one chance, I bet he wouldn't die for 6 days, and oh those 6 days.......

See i'm just #ing pissed now, time to bow out.

Any comments from the White House yet?

No sources yet but I'm hearing this guy tried to kill his wife and kid

a reply to: xuenchen

They are aware.

Can we all take a moment to actually think about what happened here? People died. People are hurt. They won't be going home to sleep tonight.
Can we think about the families that are in such immense pain right now and offer a little prayer or just some good thoughts for those involved?

Somehow I can't come to the point where I see anything connected with this as "entertainment." That is seriously out of bounds.

Somebody lost a father, brother, husband, mother, wife, sister tonight. Probably more than one somebodies. At least maybe we can offer a bit of thanks that we, personally, our household, didn't get that call tonight.

a reply to: xuenchen

No but the U.S. Representative for the area has issued a statement. "Saddened at the thought praying for victims etc"

There's dead and injured and a whole lot of fear at the moment. Maybe we can take 5 minutes before we talk about guns, race, religion. I apologize for responding to it.

Why is it too soon to talk about guns?

Every time this crap happens, when a lunatic decides to go on a shooting rampage....it's always too soon to talk about guns...this is nothing but a disingenous attempt to shut down discussion about gun control

Usually something like that. Broken family. Loss of job. Loss of love. Sadness. Guess we'll know soon.

I would have waited 5 minutes however, I wanted to make sure the comment made it out publicly prior to why actual White House announcement.

We are seeing the results of a sick society daily sometimes hourly; are you saying that my way of dealing with the situation is any less human than yours? I lived in a country that did not have any civilian firearm ownership; as a matter of fact most police do not carry them either. the only people that had them were the mafia. I am sure that that is the situation that you desire here in this country however it is not the situation that we have. We have an angry, divided nation that pops pills to get on with life and everyone cares about everyone sooooo much when something like this happens, and they still don't know their neighbor's names.

What gun laws would have stopped this tragedy?

Gang bangers killing other gang bangers....how horrifying. At least they were eliminating one another. I'd pay good money to watch those psychopaths depicted in that photo I posted to enter an arena and lay waste to each other...who cares about pure evil?....however, it is tragic when innocent people are murdered in cold blood. Totally different IMO.
