Two dead after Las Vegas court building shooting
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8440483.stm

A gunman has opened fire in a federal court building in Las Vegas, killing one security officer and wounding another before being shot dead.

The incident took place early in the morning in a building more than a mile north of the Las Vegas Strip.

The gunman was shot in the head as he fled shortly after firing off several rounds within the court complex.

Chief Deputy Marshal Roxanna Lea Irwin said she believed he had acted alone. No motive was given for the attack.

Both the building and several streets nearby were evacuated and searched following the shooting.

At least three people have been confirmed dead and five more left injured after a disgruntled worker arrived at his place of employment and opened fire with a high-powered assault rifle.

holy shit :(

The class-action federal lawsuit against ABB was filed by Hendron and several other employees in July, 2007. The suit charged that ABB’s pension review committee mis handled employee finances and incurred unreasonable losses.

Trial began on Monday in Kansas City federal court with Judge Nanette K. Laughrey presiding. Opening statements had taken place and witness testimony began. The case was to resume Thursday morning, a little more than two hours after the shots were fired and blood spilled at ABB in St. Louis.

Georgia:

KENNESAW, Ga. – A disgruntled ex-employee stormed a truck rental business in camouflage and opened fire with a handgun, killing two people and critically wounding three others at his former workplace, police said.

The lone gunman fled the scene in a pickup truck and was arrested after police stopped him about a mile from the Penske Truck Rental facility, said Cobb County Police Officer Joe Hernandez. The names of the suspect and victims were not immediately released.

"He wasn't here for very long and it wasn't long before he was taken into custody," Hernandez said.

Three killed in University of Alabama shooting

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama (Reuters) - Three faculty members at the University of Alabama in Huntsville were killed and three other staff members wounded in a shooting on Friday at a science building on the campus, authorities said.

Huntsville police and a university spokesman said the suspected shooter, a female faculty member, was in custody.

CNN's Alabama affiliate said the suspect had been informed before the shooting that she was being denied tenure at the university.

"There was a shooting at the University of Alabama at Huntsville between 4:05 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. There are three fatalities and three critical injuries and the suspect is in custody. The campus is in lockdown. We are working to save these lives," Trent Willis, chief of staff and communications for the city of Huntsville, told Reuters.

Huntsville police said all of the dead were faculty members and a witness said the shooting appeared to have taken place during a biology faculty meeting at the university's Shelby Center.

"I heard three shots and screaming," Melanie Gates, an engineering student at the campus, told Reuters.

She was near the exit of the Shelby Center when the shootings happened and she said the sound of the shots appeared to come from the third floor, where the biology faculty meeting was taking place.

There have been a number of deadly school shootings in the United States in recent years, including a rampage at Virginia Tech University in 2007 when a student killed 33 people, including himself.

"This prof is absolutely the bomb!"

"This prof is killer!"

never deny tenure imo

seems fairly old for a 'harvard trained' assistant professor, so with that and the faculty meeting setting you're possibly along the right lines

whoever remakes falling down circa 2016 with an addled winona ryder in the lead is going to disingenuously downplay the comparisons

cross-posting from spree shooting thread (i didn't know we had a rolling thread, eesh), there was this while i was in knoxville this week:

An Inskip Elementary School teacher was charged this afternoon with two counts of attempted first-degree murder in the shootings of the school's principal and assistant principal.

sort of like the tenure case, they had just told him his contract wasn't being renewed for next year.

ZOMG YOU GUYS

SHE IS HARVARD EDUCATED

THIS IS CRITICAL, PERTINENT INFORMATION THAT SHOULD BE REPEATED ENDLESSLY

so i'm not in america but the level coverage of this seems fairly small given the gender/class factors that separate it from the usual frankie teardrop horror stories

are news orgs finally taking the advice and refusing to hype these things with lurid antihero narratives or are the frequencies of such low single figure killings just diminishing it as a 'story' in any case

this seems to happen like once a month on avg now, so it seems like the latter to me

Professor accused in Ala. slayings shot her brother in Mass. 24 years ago

The University of Alabama biology professor accused of slaying three of her colleagues fatally shot her brother in an apparent accident in Massachusetts more than two decades ago, a local police chief said.

Braintree Police Chief Paul Frazier confirmed the 1986 shooting in his town and slated a news conference this afternoon to discuss the incident.

The Globe reported at the time that Amy Bishop had shot her 18-year-old brother, Seth M. Bishop, an accomplished violinist who had won a number of science awards.

John Polio, chief of police at the time, said Amy Bishop, who was 20 at the time, had asked her mother, Judith, in the presence of her brother how to unload a round from the chamber of a 12-gauge shotgun.

Polio told the Globe that while Amy Bishop was handling the weapon, it fired, wounding Seth Bishop in the abdomen. He was pronounced dead at a hospital 46 minutes after the Dec. 6, 1986 shooting.

"Every indication at this point in time leads us to believe it was an accidental shooting," Polio said at the time.

In Friday's shooting, Amy Bishop, 42, a Harvard-educated neurobiologist, allegedly shot and killed three of her colleagues and wounded three others in an apparent tenure dispute at the Huntsville campus, the Associated Press reports.

KILLER HER BROTHER. WAY TO GO HARVARD.

http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2005/05/03/incident

Nelson said that he knew of one professor (not at Illinois) who suffered a breakdown after he was denied tenure, and responded in part by stripping naked and climbing into a college building by hauling himself up a wall, holding onto ivy, and climbing in. The professor was eventually able to reverse the decision and to win tenure.

when the fuck are we just going to outlaw guns already

Another NIU shooting, christ.

you guys, if you follow only one piece of advice, make it this one:

never ever ever ever EVER read the Boston Herald

Bishop doesn't remember, asks whether she still has that teaching job at the university:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100219/ap_on_re_us/us_ala_university_shooting

(unless she does and this is just her lawyer, who's going to try and get her declared insane, talking to the press)

I believe that is probably the more likely scenario at this point.

Bishop, who claims an IQ of 180, can't explain the shooting and doesn't remember anything about it, he said.

More evidence that the intelligent are to be shunned, mistrusted and vilified.

^^^ sad but true

LITTLETON, Colo. (AP)- Teachers tackled and subdued a man armed with a high-powered rifle just after he shot two teenage students Tuesday at a suburban Denver middle school that's just miles from Columbine High School, the site of one of the nation's deadliest school shootings, authorities said.

The seventh-grade math teacher who tackled the suspect, David Benke, is a 6-foot-5-inch former college basketball player who has taught at the school for about 10 years, his wife Sandra Benke, told KUSA-TV. Other teachers quickly piled on the gunman, the station reported.

"Some staff acted very quickly, and very heroically," Jefferson County Sheriff's office spokeswoman Jacki Kelley said.

One male and one female were shot at about 3:30 p.m. outside Deer Creek Middle School in Littleton, Kelley said. Both students were taken to a nearby hospital and were expected to survive.

The school typically finishes its day at 3:05 p.m. The mother of one uninjured student, Sheri Hasse, said students were boarding buses when the shootings took place.

The school is about three miles southwest of Columbine High School, where two teens -- Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris -- killed 12 students and a teacher and wounded 23 others before killing themselves in 1999.

The middle school is on lockdown and is expected to be evacuated to a nearby school soon. Students' parents have been alerted through text messages, phone calls and e-mails, Jefferson County Schools spokeswoman Melissa Reeves said.

I only got as far as the dateline and my stomach churned. Horrifying.

amy bishop and her husband seem like a match made in hell

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100223/ap_on_re_us/us_ala_university_shooting

Several people with connections to the university’s biology department warned that Dr. Bishop, a neuroscientist with a Harvard Ph.D., might have booby-trapped the science building with some sort of “herpes bomb,” police officials said, designed to spread the dangerous virus.

Only people who had worked with Dr. Bishop would know that she had done work with the herpes virus as a post-doctoral student and had talked about how it could cause encephalitis. She had also written an unpublished novel in which a herpes-like virus spreads throughout the world, causing pregnant women to miscarry.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/21/us/21bishop.html

In 2002, she was charged with assault after punching a woman in the head at an International House of Pancakes in Peabody, Mass. The woman had taken the last booster seat, and, according to the police report, Dr. Bishop demanded it for one of her children, shouting, “I am Dr. Amy Bishop!”

wooow

in fairness, that is relatively typical outer-suburban Boston behavior

head punching - or yelling that you're a doctor?

No, saying that you're Amy Bishop. It's a Spartacus thing.

2 police officers shot at Pentagon entrance

the suspect walked up to the main entrance of the Pentagon at 6:40 p.m. and opened fire. He hit two officers, both of whom have injuries that are not life-threatening. The officers fired back, and the suspect was hit. His injuries are more serious.

Investigators have found no immediate connection to terrorism, and the attack that superficially wounded two police officers at the massive Defense Department headquarters appears to be a case of "a single individual who had issues," Richard Keevill, chief of Pentagon police, said in an early morning press conference Friday.

My hope is to use the creativity of markets and advanced technology to transcend the destructive regimes that have fastened themselves upon the world. I have dreamed for an number of years of creating v:production econosystems, which I hope to apply to the creation of v:security service econosystems using new and economic mechanisms and information technology.

I have a bachelor's degree in physics from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and studied biochemistry at San Jose State University. I've studied electrical engineering with the goal of creating microsystems for molecular analysis.[1][2][3][4] You can see a proposal to use aluminum anodization as an adsorption method for DNA molecules on CMOS chips at v:DNA_integrated_circuit/proposal_import_2007 (which originates from an unsuccessful DARPA proposal to create a "microMIRV" interoperable with standard firearms ammunition), and a proposal to use xenon difluoride to create a picoliter-scale computer-controlled device for sorting biomolecules (available at v:Capillary_electrode_array/proposal_import_2007), including DNA and protein molecules. My goals include the discovery of a protein sequence for the diamondase enzyme, enabling the creation of macroscale diamond structures, and the creation of self-assembled macrosystems with CMOS DNA-integrated circuits. The scale of these and other projects have led me to develop financial instruments representing information as a tool to manage large projects that are very knowledge-intensive.

I am determined to see that justice is served in the death of Colonel James Sabow, as a step toward establishing the truth of events such as the September 11 demolitions and institutions such as the coup regime of 1963 that maintains itself in power through the global drug trade, financial corruption, and murder, among other crimes. My work to develop information currency is an effort to create a framework for information management that uses financial markets to create the economic signals (prices) that will effect complex human actions in the real world based on specified information. My desire for justice led me to violate what I think is one of the most unjust laws, cannabis prohibition, by growing 16 cannabis plants on my balcony in Irvine, CA from March 2006 to June 2006. I've posted the Orange County, CA District Attorney's complaint for this offense at http://cannabis.wikia.com/wiki/JPatrickBedell_2006-06-06_cannabis_felony_complaint .

One desired result of my effort is (will be) billions and billions of carefully cultivated, highly valuable cannabis plants growing throughout the United States with complete security of property. I have posted the image to the right in order to illustrate the use of cannabis as a monetary system using digital financial instruments. There are two information currency units in each of the PDF417 codes pictured. One of the information currency units is drawn from a series with "one gram cannabis" with the underlying asset, and the second ICU in each code has as its underlying asset the URL http://www.mises.org/humanaction/pdf/humanaction.pdf and the SHA-1 digest value of the file at that location (fd8205cb8b4793d43b57ba6f6c7367aa700c307a). This is a way of associating the work of Ludwig von Mises with financial value, which may be a tool to implement his ideas in reality. I hope someday to see full-reserve banking and observance of Article One, Section 10 of the US Constitution.

I apologize for the graphic content of some of my contributions, but detailed evidence is sometimes necessary to address important matters. I am very disturbed by the fact that Col. Sabow's civilian superiors and their successors have been able to continue their narco-mercantilism. For historical comparison, I might resemble the odd German still complaining about the murders of the Night of the Long Knives in 1938(?). Of course, Wikipedia didn't exist in 1938!

I am looking for collaborators for ongoing commercial and intellectual efforts. Email to jpbedell at mises.com is welcome!

Police are hunting Derrick Bird, 52, following an incident in Duke Street, Whitehaven, and other places across West Cumbria.

A Cumbria Police spokesman said: "We can confirm that a number of people have been injured after shots were fired in the Whitehaven, Seascale and Egremont areas this morning.

"There are a number of fatalities and police are working to identify the individuals and inform relatives. Ambulance crews are in attendance across the area."

Bird, of Rowrah near Frizington, is believed to be driving a dark grey/silver Citreon Picasso, registration ND55 ZFC.

Anyone who sees him or his vehicle should call 999 and should not approach him.

My first thought on reading this was "Who the hell drives a Citreon in America?"

Always sad to see this thread revived though.

Ten dead apparently.

11 'shootings', not necessarily killed.

'several killed' isn't sounding good. his body has been recovered.

Glenda Pears, who runs L&G Taxis, said both Mr Bird and the Duke Street victim were self-employed drivers - and friends.

She said Mr Bird had been a taxi driver for 23 years and was divorced with two sons, and described him as a “real nice man”.

She said: “We just don’t know what’s happened. The lad that’s been killed was friends with him. They used to stand together having a craic on the rank. He was friends with everybody and used to stand and joke on Duke Street.”

“He’s such a nice lad. One of my drivers was talking to him last night. He was just working as normal and was going to go to Tesco’s to get chicken.”

12 shot dead in lake district

At least 12 people were fatally wounded today after a taxi driver went on the rampage with a shotgun in the Lake District before killing himself.

Derrick Bird (52), a divorced father-of-two, murdered two colleagues in the centre of the coastal town of Whitehaven this morning before driving across Cumbria shooting other victims, apparently at random.

Several hours later, following a major manhunt amid calls for residents to stay indoors, police found his body 30km away in woods near the hamlet of Boot.

The exact number of casualties was not known but Prime Minister David Cameron told parliament earlier that at least five people had been killed. Police said at least 25 people had been injured and denied reports that the gunman's mother was among the victims.

CUMBRIA SHOOTINGS:

Emergency services still searching for casualties - ambulance spokesman

Latest rolling headline on the BBC site. I really hope there are no more deaths.

I can't decide what's worse - BBC News rolling coverage - which was basically someone standing in the street saying how shocked everyone was or the fact that they abandoned that because some footballers were about to, maybe, get on a plane.

Huffington Post getting straight to the issues.

Wow, unbelievably stupid huffington post.

I work in Frizington, and drive through rowrah sometimes as well, they're very small communities, I can't imagine what it must be like to live there.

It's going to get worse once all the journos get there.

Probably, yes. Last thing they need at any time, let alone a time like this is a bunch of tabloid shitbags scenting blood

That huffington post piece is vile, hateful motherfuckers. didn't it used to be smarter than that at some point?

not really

Nice bit of speculation along the 'Broken Britain' lines from the Telegraph:

One of the central lines of inquiry surrounded the theory that a row had developed over the will of Bird’s mother, Mary, who is seriously ill.

The solicitor — Kevin Commons — may have been advising the family.

It was also reported that Bird had initially armed himself with two guns on Tuesday night, but was disarmed by a friend.

Bird is then believed to have sought medical help at a local hospital for his fragile mental state, only to be turned away.

The amount of unsubstantiated hearsay around this story is getting ridiculous already.

To be expected, really.

another triumph for the NHS and broken britain

- linda igotout, bulgaria, 3/6/2010 2:58

Solicitor, twin brother, fellow taxi drivers he'd rowed with.

Makes me wonder how many people I've had work-related arguments with the past year or two have access to firearms.

All quite peculiar for me - I've not lived up there for 12 years but every place they mention I know quite well. Rented a flat 30sec from the taxi rank, been to and through Gosforth, Egremont and Seascale many times, went on a walk to Ennerdale Bridge once through Frizington and Rowrah. Pretty sure I recognised the Scouse cabbie they interviewed on R4 this morning.

Just saw the ticker 'PM to visit shooting sites' and only then had my first "fucking hell, David Cameron is actually Prime Minister" moment. It didn't seem like a real thing before then.

rly h8 the rolling media coverage of this, don't like clearly very upset people being asked questions, etc. there isn't much to say about it.

with you there, HM.

ITV news guy actually just said: "Bird made complaints to police recently about drunken passengers in his cab, should they have put two and two together given that he has a firearms license?". Well clearly yes, if they had access to Minority Report style technology! What absolute nonsense.

Can't wait for the Telegraph to call for someone to Ban This Sick Filth:

Derrick Bird, the Cumbria gunman, spent the night before his killing spree watching a violent film at his best friend's house before asking, as he left: "Do you think I'm paranoid?"

[...]

As they talked, they watched On Deadly Ground, an action film involving multiple killings and starring Steven Seagal, which was on television.

Ala. prof charged in brother's 1986 shooting death

CANTON, Mass. — A biology professor charged with killing three of her colleagues at an Alabama university has been indicted in the 1986 shooting death of her brother in Massachusetts, prosecutors announced Wednesday.

Authorities had originally ruled that the shooting of Amy Bishop's brother was an accident, but they reopened the case after Bishop was charged in February with gunning down six of her colleagues at the University of Alabama-Huntsville, killing three.

Bishop, 45, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her 18-year-old brother, Seth, Norfolk District Attorney William Keating said.

Keating said he did not understand why charges were never brought against Bishop.

"I can't give you any explanations, I can't give you excuses, because there are none," he said. "Jobs weren't done, responsibilities weren't met and justice wasn't served."

Gun (file photo) Police said the gunman was a former employee of Emcore

A 37-year-old gunman has killed three people before shooting himself at an office building in Albuquerque, in the US state of New Mexico, police say.

Another four people were injured at the offices of technology manufacturer Emcore, in what local police said was a domestic violence-related incident.

Police at first said the man had killed five others but later revised the toll.

Officials said the gunman, who opened fire just before 0930 local time (1530 GMT), was a former Emcore employee.

His ex-wife is also believed to work for the company.

It is unclear whether she was killed or injured in the incident.

People living and working in the area were warned by police to stay indoors for several hours.

MANCHESTER, Conn. — A company executive says a warehouse worker who had been called in to resign opened fire at a beer distributor in Connecticut and at least three people were shot.

It was not immediately clear whether anyone was killed in the shooting Tuesday morning in Manchester, about 10 miles east of Hartford.

The executive, Brett Hollander of Hartford Distributors, says the company is "just trying to figure out who's shot, who's not accounted for." He says 50 to 70 people were inside and that a fire at the warehouse was out.

South Windsor police Sgt. Scott Custer would only say that several people are "down" and did not say how many were hurt or how badly.

Authorities say several people have been shot at a beer distribution company in Connecticut.

South Windsor police Sgt. Scott Custer says several people were injured Tuesday morning at Hartford Distributors Inc. in Manchester, about 10 miles east of Hartford. He would only say that several people are "down" and did not say how many people were hurt or how badly.

Custer says his agency, police in other surrounding towns and state authorities have been called to the scene.

a warehouse worker who had been called in to resign

now that's disgruntled!

Don't know how much disgruntlement was involved but

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- A masked man armed with an assault-style rifle fired dozens of shots at a birthday party at a home in western Indianapolis early Tuesday, killing two people and wounding six before fleeing, police said.

Around 30 people were attending the barbecue when the shooting happened shortly after midnight, Indianapolis police Lt. Jeff Duhamell said. A motive was not immediately known.

A man and a woman died at the scene and six people were taken to the hospital in stable condition, including one partygoer who had been shot in the neck and another who was shot in the back, Duhamell said.

"We're talking at least 25-30 rounds from a high-powered rifle, so although eight people were shot, it could've been a lot worse," he said.

He did not have details of the firearm used in the attack except that it was an assault-style rifle, "an AK or SKS."

Duhamell said the gunman had been wearing a ski mask, and that he fired from the street and then a car before fleeing. It wasn't clear if a getaway driver was also involved.

^that ones messed up but doesn't seem workplace-related

it was reported 7 dead and now they say 9, for the conn. one

This is completely buried in the Washpost and NYT websites. I had to search for the link in the Washpost website. Small font, tugged in with other national stories "below the fold." Sad commentary really.

Nine people have died in a shooting at a beer distribution warehouse in Manchester, Connecticut.

A warehouse driver, identified as 34-year-old Omar Thornton, who was asked to resign his job with Hartford Distributors, refused and then opened fire.

The gunman apparently turned the gun on himself after killing eight others.

Joanne Hannah's daughter, Kristi, dated Thornton for eight years. She tells NECN that every man has their breaking point -- after he had dealt with racial harassment at work.

"We are shocked," said Hannah.

Governor Rell issued the following statement on the workplace shooting this morning at Hartford Distributors in Manchester:

"Our hearts and prayers go out to the employees and families of the victims. In the wake of this tragedy, we are all left asking the same questions: How could someone do this? Why did they do this?

"It was a senseless act of violence that has left us all shaken and reminds us just how precious and fragile life truly is."

http://www.courant.com/community/manchester/hc-omar-thornton-workplace-shooting-020100803,0,837990.story

A woman who knows the driver who fatally shot at least eight co-workers and himself at a Connecticut beer distribution company says he had complained of racial harassment at work.

Joanne Hannah says her daughter dated Omar Thornton for the past eight years. She says her daughter had no indication he planned anything violent Tuesday morning after he was asked to resign from Hartford Distributors and refused.

Hannah says Thornton, a black man, had complained to his superiors about a picture of a noose and a racial epithet in a bathroom at the distributor. Her daughter told her the supervisors did not respond to his complaints.

This is fucking sad. :(

Hannah says Thornton called his own mother after the rampage "to say goodbye and that he loved everybody."

Damn. That last sentence was supposed to be part of the news story quote.

ugh

Manchester Sgt. Sandy Ficara confirmed that Omar Thornton was the shooter. Police believe his fatal gunshot wound was self-inflicted, he said.

"It's one of those workplace scenes that happens all over the country," he said.

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-20012557-504083.html

"He said, 'I killed the five racists that was there bothering me,'" said Will Holliday, Thornton's uncle. "He said, 'That's it. The cops are going to come in so I'm going to take care of it myself.'"

"It's got nothing to do with race," Roos said. "This is a disgruntled employee who shot a bunch of people."

3 non-racists

A US man has killed himself after shooting dead five people, including his wife and stepdaughter, in an argument about his breakfast.

Stanley Neace, 47, went on the killing spree in a trailer park in Jackson, rural Breathitt County, Kentucky.

He chased his wife into a neighbouring trailer where he shot her, her daughter and three witnesses, reports say.

State troopers found Mr Neace dead at the porch of his trailer, slumped over his own gun.

Mr Neace flew into a rage when his wife Sandra, 54, brought him some eggs for breakfast, a relative of the neighbours he killed said.

Mrs Neace's daughter Sandra Strong, 28, was also killed.
Commotion

The other victims were named as neighbours Dennis Turner, 31, Teresa Fugate, 30, and Tammy Kilborn, 40.

Ms Fugate was shot in front of her seven-year-old daughter, who Mr Neace spared.

"Her daughter said, 'Please, please don't shoot me,' and he said, 'All right, you can leave,' and she ran out," Ms Fugate's sister Sherri Anne Robinson told the Associated Press.

Mrs Kiborn was another neighbour who stepped out onto her porch during the commotion, reports said.

Mr Neace apparently waited an hour for the police to arrive before turning the gun on himself, police heard the shot as they drove up to the trailer.

Other neighbours had fled in terror during the rampage.

Breathitt county is Kentucky's rural eastern region, where gun ownership numbers are high.

"Over eggs? I thought that was crazy. I mean just because his eggs weren't hot?" Ms Robinson said.

Doctor Shot at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore

Baltimore police say a doctor has been shot at Johns Hopkins hospital and the shooter is holed up inside.

Police department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says the gunman has barricaded himself in a room.

Guglielmi says the hospital is being evacuated.

He said he doesn't know the doctor's condition.

BALTIMORE – Baltimore police say a gunman who wounded a doctor at Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore has shot and killed himself and a relative during a standoff with police.

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi tells The Associated Press that the suspect and his relative died in a hospital room.

The standoff lasted more than 2 hours.

This 8th floor is the last place I saw my mother alive. The whole building is an incredibly stressful place to be.

He shot his own mother because he was upset about her surgery? Christ, what the fuck.

If she was on the 8th floor, she was dying anyway.

hmm

is the eighth floor like the "death floor" or something, for terminal patients?

No, thoracic surgery for cancer patients = not a good scene. The building is oncology.

German news media are reporting that an as-yet unidentified woman opened fire in a hospital in Lörrach, Germany. Several dead and wounded.

^(opened fire...this afternoon.)

Apparently, the woman emerged armed from a residential building where moments before an explosion killed two, then opened fire on people in the nearby hospital. Really bizarre.

'Gun deaths' at German hospital

At least two people have been killed and one seriously injured in a shooting at a hospital in Germany, reports say.

The incident took place in the south-western town of Loerrach, close to the French and Swiss borders.

A woman reportedly walked into the Saint Elizabeth hospital and started firing with an automatic weapon. She was said to be one of the dead.

Police said they had sealed off the area and the situation was now under control.

The incident took place at about 1800 local time (1600 GMT). Police arrived within 15 minutes of the shooting but it was unclear how long the woman had been in the hospital grounds.

The BBC's Tristana Moore in Berlin says police are also investigating reports of an explosion at a building opposite the hospital, where two bodies were said to have been found.

Officers are investigating whether there is a connection between the two incidents.

The identity of the woman is not yet known and no immediate motive has so far been given for the shooting.

It's a pediatric hospital, in case you needed to increase your horror.

I guess miss misery works at UT in Austin. Looks like they're in lockdown. She heard 7 people dead but news reports are saying only the first shooter.

She does yeah, I was just coming here to say that she's a fair bit away from the incident if anyone was worried about her.

I reckon the 7 dead she'd heard is the kind of nutty chinese whispers that go around when something happens (bloke was stabbed at the end of my street a few weeks ago outside a nursery school, it was all over twitter that someone was in the school stabbing the kids/holding them hostage, etc etc)

yeah i figured that 7 'shots fired' may have turned into 7 people dead by the time it got to her.

One dead, the shooter, who killed himself. No other injuries. They're looking for a second suspect. Campus is no longer locked down, everybody is leaving. I work in a building on campus a couple blocks from the library. Crazy morning.

a little over a week ago, a elderly woman in seattle shot her daughter, her daughter's husband, and two of her own grandchildren (two of the four children of the couple she shot) before fatally turning the gun on herself. though she had a history of fairly minor mental problems, no explanation was or probably ever will be given. her daughter survived the attack, but the other three victims died at the scene. so strange to think of a grandmother, perhaps your grandmother, as the spree shooter. it doesn't fit the profile...

'My mom has gone crazy': 4 die in W. Seattle shooting

A woman fatally shot three family members before killing herself Thursday afternoon at a house in a West Seattle neighborhood.

By Seattle Times staff

The grandmother told one relative to lock herself in her room. She then went downstairs Thursday afternoon and killed her son-in-law, as her panicked grandchildren began fleeing their West Seattle home, screaming and crying.

Next she went into her daughter's bedroom, where two of her granddaughters were hiding, and shot them, too. As her daughter fled, Chhouy Harm took aim and fired into her back.

"Grandma just shot them for no reason," said 17-year-old Tony Sun, a member of the family who arrived home shortly after the shootings to see police lining his street.

Next thing he knew, he and his surviving family members were gathered in a police bus. His relatives told him about the carnage they had witnessed.

In the end, four people were dead, including Harm, who shot herself as police massed outside the home. Her daughter survived her bullet wounds, frantically telling officers outside the home, "My mom has gone crazy," police said.

in the above photo, the shooter, chhouy harm, is seated in the middle wearing orange. the two grandchildren she fatally shot are seen at far left and far right.

Walmart says gunman is employee at Nevada store

(AP) – 4 hours ago

RENO, Nev. (AP) — A gunman was holed up Friday at a Walmart store where he worked after shooting three co-workers who were hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries, police said.

Heavily armed police officers entered the building about four hours after the lone gunman entered about 8:30 a.m. and opened fire on fellow employees, Reno Deputy Police Chief Mike Whan said.

Police: Fla. gunman killed self at school meeting

(AP) – 3 hours ago

PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) — A gunman opened fire at a school board meeting Tuesday, sending spectators scrambling before he exchanged shots with a security guard and then killed himself, police said. No one besides the gunman was injured.

Witnesses said the gunman walked up to a podium, spray painted a red "V'' with a circle around it before he began firing.

Bay District School board member Ginger Littleton said she hit the gunman in the arm with her purse when some of the people in the room were ordered out.

"In my mind, that was the last attempt or opportunity to divert him," she told The Associated Press.

The gunman got angry, turned around, and she fell to the floor. The man pointed the gun at her head and said, "You stupid b----" but he didn't shoot her, she said. She's not sure why.

"He had every opportunity take me out," she said.

Initially, officials thought that district security chief Mike Jones may have killed the gunman. But police Sgt. Jeff Becker said that after authorities reviewed videotape of the shooting, investigators determined that the gunman, identified as Clay A. Duke, fatally shot himself after being hit by shots fired by Jones.

State records show Duke, 56, served four years in prison about a decade ago for aggravated stalking and other crimes.

Reporter Daniel Carson of the Panama City News Herald told his paper that he had noticed the man during the meeting and he didn't appear agitated.

Leon Walters, who was also in attendance, said the gunman was a heavy, disheveled man who walked along the side of the room to the podium.

Walters said the man pulled out a can of spray paint and drew a red circle on the wall with a mark through it. Carson and other witnesses described it as the letter "V." The man then pulled out what looked like a pistol.

"What are you doing?" someone asked, Walters recalled. "What's going on?"

The gunman told everyone to leave "except these clowns behind the counter here," referring to the school board members, Walters said. There are five board members, Littleton and four men.

Carson said the gunman told everyone to leave except the male board members.

Walters left the room but stayed behind one of the doors. He called 911 and was peeking inside.

The gunman was in a heated discussion with the school board members, Walters said.

"I overhead some discussion about his wife needing a job," Walters said. "Or his wife had lost her job or wanting a job or something like that."

Walters heard one member say, "I'll get your wife a job or I'll see if I can't find her a job somewhere."

That's when Jones, who had been elsewhere in the building, entered and exchanged shots with Duke, wounding him. Duke then shot himself, police said.

"The guy obviously had a death wish," district spokeswoman Karen Tucker said.

Carson told his paper that Jones was comforted by his colleagues and led away.

"He is a hero," said Tommye Lou Richardson, the school district's personnel director, who was at the meeting.

State prison records show Duke was charged in October 1999 with aggravated stalking, shooting or throwing a missile into a building or vehicle and obstructing justice. He was convicted and sentenced in January 2000 to five years in prison but was released in January 2004.

http://mywebsite.register.com/db5/00464/hollywood2you.tv/_download/Vlogo.gif

"He started making some demands of the superintendent," Stafford said, adding that the man then spay-painted a red circle with a "V" on a wall in the building. "We don't know if that symbol has any meaning," Stafford said.

Wonder how long before they figure it out. And by "they" I mean the nerdy intern.

the security guard that shot him was names Mike Jones

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57nmmjZ1xsY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKN7zmtK9-s

A biography on Duke's Facebook page reads: "My Testament: Some people (the government sponsored media) will say I was evil, a monster (V)... no... I was just born poor in a country where the Wealthy manipulate, use, abuse, and economically enslave 95% of the population. Rich Republicans, Rich Democrats... same-same... rich... they take turns fleecing us... our few dollars... pyramiding the wealth for themselves. The 95%... the us, in US of A, are the neo slaves of the Global South. Our Masters, the Wealthy, do, as they like to us..."
Under "political views," Duke labels himself a "Freedom Fighter." Under religious views, he wrote, "Humanism."

crazy guy OTM

This part made me cringe a little...

A chilling video of the meeting, from a live Internet feed provided by CNN affiliates WJHG and WMBB, shows Husfelt attempting to reason with Duke, who began a rambling discourse that had to do with the apparent firing of his wife and sales taxes. He and the superintendent discussed possibly finding a job for Duke's wife or looking into the case. Husfelt told him that he likely signed the termination papers, but couldn't recall the circumstances

Five dead in Yuma

Police have released the names of the seven victims in the shooting spree that began Thursday afternoon in Grand Rapids, Mich.

After a 911 call, officers found three victims at a home on Plainfield Avenue. Those victims have been identified as: Amanda Emkens, 27; Marisa Emkens, 11; and Kimberlee Emkens, who was Dantzler's ex-girlfriend.

An hour later, police discovered the other four victims across town in a ranch-style house on a cul-de-sac called Brynell Court. Those victims have been identified as: Jennifer Heeren, Dantzler's ex-girlfriend; Kamrie Dantzler, Dantzler's own 12-year-old daughter; and Thomas and Rebecca Heeren, Jennifer's mother and father.

Police in Cupertino, Calif., are confirming that two people are dead and six wounded in a workplace shooting Wednesday morning at a quarry there.

The shootings took place at a safety meeting that occurs every morning at the Hansen Permanente quarry.

An employee showed up at the meeting with an automatic rifle and a handgun and opened fire, KGO-TV in San Francisco reported.

The gunman left the scene and shot a woman in the leg while he carjacked her on the Hewlett-Packard campus nearby.

The suspect is now reportedly holed up in a home in Sunnyvale.
Two of the victims are reportedly in good and fair condition at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center.

One victim was taken to the emergency room at Stanford University Medical Center in Palo Alto.

In Cupertino, the home of Apple Computer Co., public schools were open, but children were being kept indoors.

All visitors evacuated from Rainier; gunman sought
By MIKE BAKER, Associated Press – 8 minutes ago

MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK, Wash. (AP) — Authorities evacuated about 125 people overnight from the visitors center at Mount Rainier National Park, where police have been searching the snowy terrain for an armed gunman suspected of killing a park ranger.

About 150 officers converged on the mountain park after ranger Margaret Anderson was shot to death Sunday morning, and searchers used an aircraft with heat-sensing capabilities to hunt from the skies.
Authorities believe the gunman was still in the woods, with weapons.

Pierce County Sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said that Benjamin Colton Barnes, a 24-year-old believed to have survivalist skills, was a "strong person of interest" in the slaying.

"We do have a very hot and dangerous situation," Troyer said.

Teams were assessing new tactical plans that they planned to put into place at daylight, he said.
Safety concerns prompted authorities to keep the tourists quarantined at a visitors center as the manhunt unfolded. Early Monday morning, officers escorted them out of the park in groups of vehicles over several hours.

Crews had initially planned to keep everyone in a basement with guards. But it was determined to be "better to do it (evacuate) under the cover of darkness than daylight," Troyer said.

Evacuee Dinh Jackson, a mother from Olympia who came to the mountain to sled with family and friends, said officials ordered people to hurry into the lodge after the shooting.

Jackson said officials had everyone get on their knees and place hands behind their heads as they went through the building, looking at faces to make sure the gunman was not among them.
"That was scary for the kids," she said.

Michael Wall, an elementary school teacher from Puyallup, spent the morning hiking with his son. They didn't find out about the violence until returning.

Wall said he was impressed by how staff members and visitors kept each other comfortable with food and conversation.

"It was calm, cool, easygoing," Wall said. "I didn't notice any tenseness or terseness."

A parks spokesman said Barnes was an Iraq war veteran, and the mother of his child had alleged he suffered from post-traumatic stress following his deployments.

Barnes was involved in a custody dispute in Tacoma in July, during which the toddler's mother sought a temporary restraining order against him, according to court documents.

In an affidavit, the woman wrote that Barnes was suicidal and possibly suffered from PTSD after deploying to Iraq from 2007 to 2008. She said he gets easily irritated, angry and depressed and keeps an arsenal of weapons in his home.

Barnes was also a suspect in the early Sunday morning shooting of four people at a house party south of Seattle, police said.

Sgt. Cindi West, King County Sheriff's spokeswoman, said late Sunday that Barnes was connected to an early-morning shooting at a New Year's house party in Skyway, south of Seattle that left four people injured, two critically.

That shooting happened about 3 a.m. and stemmed from an argument over a gun.

West said three people fled the scene. Two were located, and West said authorities were trying to find Barnes and had been in contact with his family, trying to have them convince him to "come to the police and tell his side of the story" in the Skyway shooting.

At Mount Rainier around 10:20 a.m. Sunday, the gunman had sped past a checkpoint to make sure vehicles have tire chains, which are sometimes necessary in snowy conditions, Bacher said.

One ranger began following him while Anderson, a 34-year-old mother of two young children who was married to another Mount Rainier park ranger, eventually blocked the road to stop the driver.

Before fleeing, the gunman fired shots at both Anderson and the ranger that trailed him, but only Anderson was hit, Bacher said. Anderson would have been armed, as she was one of the rangers tasked with law enforcement, Bacher said. Troyer said she was shot before she had even exited the vehicle.

About 150 officers, including officials from the Washington State Patrol, U.S. Forest Service and FBI, were on the mountain Sunday.

Tactical responders wearing crampons and snowshoes pursued what appeared to be the gunman's tracks in the snow, Troyer said. Those tracks went into creeks and other waterways, making it more difficult for crews to follow.

"He's intentionally trying to get out of the snow," Troyer said.

Authorities recovered his vehicle, which had weapons and body armor inside, Troyer said.

A SWAT team was able to remove Anderson's body from the mountain late Sunday night, with a procession of law enforcement vehicles escorting her remains away.

The park would remain closed Monday, officials announced late Sunday.

Park superintendent Randy King said Anderson had served as a park ranger for about four years. King said Anderson's husband also was working as a ranger elsewhere in the park at the time of the shooting.
"It's just a huge tragedy — for the family, the park and the park service," he said.

A body was spotted by aircraft in a remote area and there's a strong probability it is Benjamin Colton Barnes, the man thought to have killed a Mount Rainier National Park ranger on Sunday, a sheriff's spokesman says.

"One of the air units and some of the FBI SWAT team members and sheriff’s SWAT team members have found a body," said Pierce County Sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer. "We have not gotten to it, we are nowhere near it, it’s still buried in the snow."

this is so fucked up, even though i don't know anybody in the bay who would have been at that college, i'm really shook this morning, mainly because ...

last night i read this

Mary Ping, 47, said she got a call from an instructor at the university telling her that a shooting was under way. Ping said her 24-year-old daughter, Kathleen, works at Oikos University as a receptionist in the front office.

Ping said she received a phone call from the front office number shortly after 10:30 but was not able to answer it. She believes it was her daughter calling but has not heard anything from her since.

"No one is answering the front desk number now," Ping said. "Somebody called me from that number. I think it was her, and I think that means she's alive, I can't think about it more than that. It is too scary."

and this morning i read this

Goh forced a secretary into a classroom and asked people to line up, Jordan said.

"Not everyone was cooperative, and that's when he began shooting," he said. The dead included six students and the secretary, he said.

The school's receptionist Katleen Ping, 21, of Oakland, was also shot and killed Monday, her family confirmed, although her name was not on the list released Tuesday.

:-(

One of the Balloon Juice bloggers went absolutely ballistic over that today.

Don’t dare call them racists, don’t dare say we need law enforcement to look into the militia and white supremacist movements, don’t dare point out the people going on shooting rampages are not young urban minorities, don’t dare point out how easy it is to get firearms and ammunition in this country, don’t dare point out the people who actually are mounting up for a shooting war in our midst, because you should really be worried about the fellow down the street with the different religion or no religion at all or the unarmed black kid with the hoodie or the dirty effing hippie Occupy protester on the street corner or the Latino family driving along the border state highway or the people who want marriage equality for their loved ones, or the woman who wants to get rid of the fetus she’s going to be unable to care for in six months.

These people, I am told, are the terrorists among us who will kill people, and not REAL ‘MURICANS like JT Ready. And man, this one stomps on all the asshole buttons, he gets all this hardware to play Metal Gear Solid on the border to shoot him some brown people because he has to protect the white way of life, and in the end the person who was the greatest threat to his loved ones was JT Ready him-goddamn-self, who took the chickenshit way out and punched his own clock after murdering a toddler. Now that’s freedom, my droogies.

America, you need a good swift kick in the ass. Here’s hoping this wakes up the somnambulant among us.

[UPDATE] And let’s be clear here, this asshole apparently had a plan that consisted of A) kill his family, B) then kill himself in order to C) make it look like The Great Brown Horde offed him so D) he’d be some sort of white supremacist martyr and his angry nutjob buddies would E) then start a race war in Arizona. He’s not just a terrorist, he’s a complete “New branches of mathematics are necessary in order to sufficiently quantify how evil this asshole is” type of terrorist.

That Kathy person says a couple of things, I note.

RECENT ACTIVITY

"Is this the real David Duke???" on David Ernest Duke's timeline.

Harry Hughes, a member of the National Socialist Movement who also took part in armed border patrols, expressed shock at Wednesday’s tragedy.

“I think this is horrible,” he said. “I want everyone to know J.T. Ready was the last person on earth I’d figure to have done anything to hurt a child. It really caught me off guard. Despite all the rhetoric and the stuff we’re going to hear about him being the evil Nazi, he was a good man.”

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/05/26/us-usa-gunman-indiana-idUSBRE84P02L20120526

(Reuters) - A gunman took hostages in an Indiana real estate office on Friday, then released them after an eight-hour standoff and fatally shot himself in the head, authorities said.

The gunman died at a hospital in Valparaiso, Indiana, about 40 miles southeast of Chicago, police said.

"We believe there was some issue over some money," said Valparaiso Police Chief Michael Brickner. He added the man had been to the office previously to complain and had a confrontation with employees.

What the hell?

fuck

six dead, shooter was killed

A police officer who is a 20-year law enforcement veteran responded to multiple 911 calls about the shooting and came upon a gunman outstide the temple. The officer was shot multiple times, Wendlandt said. The officer returned fire, striking and killing the gunman. The wounded officer was taken to a hospital where he was undergoing surgery.

jesus g-d christ

Really bugging me that CNN keeps having talking heads explaining how Sikhs differ from Muslims and how the casual visual similarity to the uninitiated leads to Sikhs being "unfairly targeted for violence."

Like, opposed to the totally legit targeting of Muslims in the US? Fuck you guys.

yeah was thinking the same thing, "these ppl were shot and they ~weren't even Muslim~", so fucking gross

ugh

"I just want to say this temple was built a number of years ago and there have never been any problems with this temple," Oak Creek Alderman Dan Jakubczyk said. "They've been a plus to this city and to my district."

i guess the 2nd amendment folks will tell us we should be bringing our guns to church..

instead of ceremonial knives sikhs should carry guns

^cant wait for all the inevitable iterations of that joke over the next week or two

motive?

racism, presumably, but who knows

it was a white shooter?

there has been intense sikh-on-sikh violence in the past in the bay area although generally involving melee and not guns

White, by all accounts. The suspect's home has been investigated, presumably some form of initial announcement will be made tonight.

I will cop to feeling vaguely *guilty* when Sikhs and other brown non-Muslims were targeted for hate speech/crimes immediately following September 11th until a Muslim friend pointed out how fucked up this was.

I was driving all day and public radio played a tearful interview with a family member of the founder of the temple. It was hard to listen to.

9/11 tattoo

fck me

can't they make it law that if you want to have a gun you have to be in the nat'l guard or something?

then all the crazies who want guns would just join the national guard. and then they'd all meet. and they'd be ORGANIZED. brb gonna go write a novel.

that would hew a lot closer to the 2nd A's literal meaning

true

that's fine. it's not like joining the guard is getting a library card?

hell, we could give you a gov't issued gun if you're in the guard, w/ a serial # and a gps

when i hear the phrase "national guard" i reach for my kent_state.jpg

yeah remember when four dead in ohio was news

I used to work about 5 miinutes drive from the temple.

Never bumped into as much casual racism anywhere as living in Milwaukee, not in the deep south.

my friend from madison area (i think) is dating a girl from pakistan and for a second i had to reassure myself they weren't sikhs (?)

anyway when i was in bayfield everyone treated me like royalty

i understand bayfield is not totally representative of the state

My impression of Milwaukee was a couple of desperately poor ghettos surrounded by extremely conservative suburbs. Scott Walker got his start in Waukesha, which is pretty close to Oak Creek.

milwaukee was pretty crucial in russ feingold's defeat iirc

so, basically every city in america? xp

Except its especially bad there, almost all the suburbs used to be sundown towns.

And there parts of the North side that look third world, like Detroit only more concentrated.

yeah my friend from chicago said it starts to turn into rust belt over that way

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/witi-20110331-segregated-city,0,6920627.story

Rust belt surrounded by Maybury basically.

This is a city that has a contractual stipulation for teachers that they have to live in the city limits, otherwise virtually none of them would. One of the hardest drinking cities in the country too.

FB post from a friend of mine who who was at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church during the shooting there four years ago. This is a guy who watched his friends being shot and killed:

Another shooting. Another CHURCH shooting! I am so damned tired of flashing back to my experience of the shooting at TVUUC!! I am so sick of reliving it in my daily thoughts and seeing it re-enacted every few weeks somewhere else in America. I am sick of hateful people having such easy access to guns. I am sick of our bought-out politicians kowtowing to the NRA and allowing hatemongers and psychos to arm themselves to the teeth (LEGALLY!!!) and then simply walking into innocent crowds (churches!!! musems!! movie theaters!!!) and gunning down innocent people. I am sick of talking heads justifying this easy murder as just a part of our constitutional rights, as though somehow the founding fathers thought buying an AR-36 assault rifle with a 100-bullet clip (capable of firing 100 rounds in 3 minutes) is an inherent human right, more important than human freedom itself (after all, these founding fathers are the same guys who considered African-Americans to be 3/4ths of a person and deserving of slavery, and women unworthy of voting). More than anything, I am sick of a right-wing culture that demonizes anyone who disagrees with their beliefs (see Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Michael Reagan and of course their manifesto-writing murderous protegee, Jim David Adkisson, the TVUUC gunman). And don't get me started on IGNORANCE! Is it any surprise that the guy who walked into the Sikh Temple today was a white male with a "9-11 tatoo" on his arm? Too bad he didn't live long enough for someone to tell him that Sikhs have NO CONNECTION WHATSOEVER to Islam, let alone the fringe element of Islam that was responsible for 9-11. I was a religious educator in my previous life. That is what I was doing the day Jim David Adkisson walked into my church and opened fire on a childrens' play during a Sunday worship service. And I guarantee you, the children in my programs at TVUUC know far more about Sikh's than this asshole did. Why? Because WE CARE ABOUT OTHER FAITHS, that's why@!!
Goddam this!! I am so sick of this!

Yeah, for sure. Sometimes I despair of taking that as a goal, but I shouldn't. Btw Steve ins keep interviewed someone from the Sikh legal defense fund on morning edition and asked if Sikhs were often confused with Muslims and the dude was like, "yes we're sometimess confused with our Muslim brothers and sisters" and I got a little teary

i think it's important for people in general to understand the variations among people and things like this, sad as they are, prick up the collective ears a bit.

rewatched Spike Lee's doc 4 Little Girls about the '63 Birmningham church bombing Saturday night. Not THAT different a country.

When he came to the list of victims names, Edwards hesitated: he said that he was afraid of pronouncing them incorrectly: “I don’t know if I would be able to—unless someone could come up and assist me from the Sikh community.” Someone did. It was a small detail, but one that showed humility and respect—no one’s name ought to be mangled in those circumstances. Here are the names:

Prakash Singh, who was thirty-nine; Sita Singh, forty-one; Ranjit Singh, forty-nine; Satwant Singh Kaleka, sixty-five; Suveg Singh, eighty-four; and Paramjit Kaur, who was forty-one, and the only woman killed.

Kaleka was the president of the temple. His son Amar Deep Kaleka told a Wisconsin television station that F.B.I. agents had told him that, judging from the trails of blood in the temple and where the bodies were, his father had most likely engaged in a physical confrontation with Page in the lobby—“a blood struggle”—and had likely slowed him down, giving others time to hide. (Eight women were keeping quiet in a pantry.) “The F.B.I. told me, they came up and shook my hand a number of times and put their arms around me and said, ‘You know, your father was a hero.’”

Shopkeeper Phil Jones said: "It was absolutely incredible – right outside my shop the van aimed straight at a mother and two children walking on the pavement and mowed them down.

"He then drove straight across four lanes of the road and smashed into a man and woman with their baby in a pushchair. He just smashed into them before screaming round on the road and heading away.

"In about 100 yards he veered off the road and hit another two boys and a mother and a boy on a bike. People were rushing out of houses trying to help the injured people and covering them with blankets until the ambulances arrived. The baby was covered in blood – people were just lying on the pavements moaning."

http://www.wptv.com/dpp/news/national/1-killed-3-wounded-in-workplace-shooting-at-apple-valley-farms-in-fresno-california

FRESNO, CA - (CNN) -- An employee of Apple Valley Farms in Fresno, California, opened fire on his co-workers Tuesday, killing one and wounding three others before shooting himself, police said.

Two victims are in critical condition; one is in serious condition and expected to survive, Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said.

The alleged gunman, 42-year-old Lawrence Jones, is in critical condition, police said.

Jones has an extensive criminal history, authorities said.

He was found outside the plant with a gunshot wound to the head, police said. The victim in serious condition was a 32-year-old woman who was also found outside. She had a gunshot wound in the lower back.

The two victims in critical condition were found inside the business. One, a 34-year-old man, appeared to have a gunshot wound to the head; the other, a 28-year-old man, had been shot in the neck, police said.

A 32-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the head was pronounced dead at the scene.

Jones had worked at Apple Valley Farms for 14 months, police said. According to a co-worker, when Jones came to work this morning "he did not appear to be himself," Dyer said. About 3 1/2 hours later, he pulled out a handgun and opened fire, shooting four people, police said.

Authorities don't know what may have provoked the attack.

As many as 30 workers were inside the business at the time, police said.

During questioning by police, Lammers reportedly confessed to the movie theater plot, saying he had already purchased tickets, but also revealed a second plot to shoot up a local Walmart.

"Blaec Lammers stated that he would walk into the store and just start shooting people at random," court documents say. "If he ran out of ammunition...he would just break the glass where the ammunition is stored and get some more and keep on shooting until police arrived."

Police subsequently charges Lammers with first-degree assault, making a terroristic threat and armed criminal action.

One dead after Alabama school bus shooting, child seized

(Reuters) - Officials in Alabama said one person was killed on Tuesday after local media reported that a gunman boarded a school bus and shot the driver several times, then fled with a 6-year-old child passenger and holed up in an underground bunker.

The Dale County Sheriff's Department said in a statement there had been one fatality as a result of the incident in Midland City and that the area had been evacuated after law enforcement arrived at the scene.

The department said it was releasing only limited details, so it was not immediately clear whether the person who was killed was the bus driver.

It confirmed that a child was at the scene. Earlier, the department had said a command post had been set up near the site where the suspected shooter was barricaded.

The Dothan Eagle newspaper said the gunman was in a bunker near his home hours after the shooting.

The shooting comes as the nation is on edge about gun violence, especially in schools, after a gunman shot dead 20 students and six staff members at a Connecticut elementary school last month, stoking a national debate on gun control.

The sheriff's department said multiple agencies were assisting with the incident and local area schools would be closed on Wednesday.

Alabama media reported that the incident happened at approximately 4 p.m. local time when the suspect demanded the driver let a student off the bus. When the driver refused, the suspect boarded the bus, then shot the driver before taking the child and fleeing the scene.

Law enforcement officials are negotiating with the suspect, according to media reports.

man when the victim is some poor old dude/lady like here it really gets me. drive a school bus either 1) for years or 2) to make some extra money in your retirement and get killed for your troubles. God damn it

The Dothan Eagle newspaper said the gunman was in a bunker near his home hours after the shooting.

Bunker=red flag.

I bet if you had to register bunkers along with guns we'd come even closer to stopping these lunatics.

A neighbor said the guy had moved in a couple years ago, started working on what he told 'em was a fallout shelter right away. A fallout shelter, in this century. He's prob got all kinds of supplies in there, and bad storms are forecast, maybe a tornado, so this may go on a while.

'I talked to a girl that was riding the bus, and she told me that he came on the bus and said, "I need two kids between the ages of 6 and 8,"' Michael Creel, Dykes' neighbor, told the Eagle. 'The driver told him, "I can’t do that." (The driver) tried to get away from the guy.'

Mass Shooting in Phoenix Office Building Hours After Gabrielle Giffords Testifies at Congressional Hearing on Gun Control

Multiple people have reportedly been shot inside an office complex in Phoenix just hours after former Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee to deliver a statement on the need for more gun control.

According to local police, as many as four people were shot inside an office belonging to a mortgage company, and the suspect — described as a while male in his 60s — has fled the scene.

what the fuck

specific needs The Alabama bunker's neighbor said Dykes once threatened to shoot his kids because his dogs, not his kids, got in Dykes' yard. And the neighbor's kids were on the bus when Dykes boarded it (apparently the hostage isn't one of this neighbor's kids though). Also, he'd stopped another neighbor, one with his kid in the back seat, then shot at the vehicle when the neighbor drove away. Because of this incident, Dykes (who wasn't in custody)was supposed to appear in court, either yesterday or today, I didn't get that last. The hostage is supposed to take some kind of medication every day.

And the weather's been fucked around the state today, unhelpfully.

"The boy has been given medication," maybe through the PVC pipe used for negotiations. This guy's a textbook case. Dykes "beat her dog to death with a lead pipe"? Shooting at the neighbor was a misdemeanor. Let's hear it for traditional lawdom.

A former Navy SEAL and the author of “American Sniper,” Chris Kyle, was shot and killed along with another man Saturday at a Texas gun range, a county sheriff has told the Texas news media.

So many layers of tragic irony.

The sheriff of Erath County, Tommy Bryant, said Mr. Kyle, 38, and a second man were found dead at Rough Creek Lodge’s shooting range west of Glen Rose, according to The Fort Worth Star-Telegram and The Stephenville Empire-Tribune. Glen Rose is about 50 miles southwest of Fort Worth.

Kyle wrote the best-selling book, “American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History,” detailing his 150-plus kills of insurgents from 1999 to 2009.

Mr. Bryant did not immediately return phone calls to The Associated Press seeking comment. A woman who answered the phone at the lodge where the shooting occurred declined to comment and referred calls to the sheriff’s office.

Investigators did not immediately release the name of the second victim, according to the newspapers.

Witnesses told sheriff’s investigators that a gunman opened fire on the men around 3:30 p.m. Saturday, then fled in a pickup truck belonging to one of the victims, according to The Star-Telegram. The newspapers said a 25-year-old man was later taken into custody in Lancaster, southeast of Dallas, and that charges were expected.

What stands out for me in this story: (from an article in the papers here)

On Sunday, the police identified the shooter as Eddie Ray Routh, a 25-year-old veteran with a history of mental illness who had served in both Iraq and Afghanistan. The police offered no information about a possible motive.

How was a guy with a history of mental illness able to serve? Let alone now be allowd to handle guns.

his mental illness might have been triggered or exacerbated by his service

That occurred to me yeah. Its not clear from the way thats written if they mean he was ill anyway, or because of service. The latter'd certainly put things in an obvioys perspective. This and the bunker guy are both ex vets. I get the impression mental health care post war for vets is pretty peicemeal and pathetic, which is dreadful.

sorry, I just love typing torrance

this whole thing is insane

see oink administrator for permission to get torrence

The honorable President George H.W. Bush, they never give you enough credit for your successful Presidency. You were always one of my favorite Presidents (2nd favorite). I hope your health improves greatly. You are the epitome of an American and service to country.
General Petraeus, you made a mistake that the majority of men make once, twice, or unfortunately many times in a lifetime. You are human. You thought with your penis. It’s okay.I personally believe you should have never resigned and told your critics to shove it. You only answer to two people regarding the affair, your wife and children, period. I hope you return to government service to your country as it is visibly in your DNA.
General Colin Powell, your book “My American Journey” solidified my decision to join the military after college. I had always intended to serve, but your book and journey motivated me. You are an inspiration to all Americans and influenced me greatly.
To all SEA’s (senior enlisted advisers), you are just as important if not a greater viability to large and small commands. It’s time you take a more active role in leading your enlisted and advising officers. These are not your twilight years or time to relax. You can either strengthen the tip of the spear, or make it brittle. You decide.
Pat Harvey, I’ve always thought you carried yourself professionally and personally the way a strong black woman should. Your articulation and speech is second to none. You are the epitome of a journalist/anchor. You are America.
Ellen Degeneres, continue your excellent contribution to entertaining America and bringing the human factor to entertainment. You changed the perception of your gay community and how we as Americans view the LGBT community. I congratulate you on your success and opening my eyes as a young adult, and my generation to the fact that you are know different from us other than who you choose to love. Oh, and you Prop 8 supporters, why the fuck do you care who your neighbor marries. Hypocritical pieces of shit.
Westboro Baptist Church, may you all burn slowly in a fire, not from smoke inhalation, but from the flames and only the flames.
Tebow, I really wanted to see you take charge of an offense again and the game. You are not a good QB by todays standards, but you are a great football player who knows how to lead a team and WIN. You will be “Tebowing” when you reach your next team. I have faith in you. Get out of that circus they call the Jets and away from the reality TV star, Rex Ryan, and Mark Rapist Sanchez.
Christopher Walz, you impressed me in Inglorious Basterds. After viewing Django Unchained, I was sold. I have come to the conclusion that you are well on your way to becoming one of the greats if not already and show glimpses of Daniel Day Lewis and Morgan Freeman-esque type qualities of greatness. Trust me when I say that you will be one of the greatest ever.

Hey, I was in Torrance two weeks ago! It's grim, but not as grim as, say, Vernon.

DENVER - Victims and witnesses in the Colorado theater shootings have been pestered by conspiracy theorists, impersonated in court filings and had their addresses and phone numbers posted online, prosecutors said.

He'd bought a gun and learned how to use it. He'd loaded three magazines. And he had stopped by Chick-fil-A to pick up 15 sandwiches, which he planned to smear in the dying faces of staffers he expected to kill at the Family Research Council in Washington.

good manifesto

Wow, an actual leftwing crazy

Rachel Ray, for years your delicious, nutritious, easy-to-prepare meals have provided my hungry belly with abstinence beyond compare, and your bubbly personality and lively energy and provided me with a glimmer of hope in my darkest times. I am eternally grateful for the physical and mental advantages you will have provided me during my forthcoming murder rampage.

whoops typed abstinence instead of subsistence and thereby ruined my joke

Charlie Sheen, you're effin awesome.

they found his burned truck near big bear, they believe he's in the mountains nearby. SWAT teams en route.
