Is "long rifle" an NRA-friendly way of saying assault rifle?

Yeah, this was an AK-47 or an AR-15, not a musket.

Police scanner says suspect out of vehicle, one in vehicle and one on the run who has been located and in pursuit.

xp: police scanner said the officer injured was due to ricochet.

Just when you thought it was over, the person early detained was unrelated to this, there is still another suspect being pursued being shot at and returning fire.

Looks like they just pulled a second body out of the suv.

It's off the blotter: hispanic male, shaved head, camo pants, sounds like he's cornered.

"long guns"

i've seriously had it

brimstead, Thursday, 3 December 2015 00:32 (eight years ago) link

Before people get bent out of shape, long gun simply means "not handguns". I'm assuming they don't know if that means shotguns or assault rifles or whatever at this point.

LA Times reporting main suspect got into an argument at holiday party, left and returned with 2 companions and began shooting.

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Thursday, 3 December 2015 00:57 (eight years ago) link

it seems really odd, like the motive for the other two people to participate seems flimsy to say the least.

nomar, Thursday, 3 December 2015 00:59 (eight years ago) link

only guess I could come up with that makes some sense is maybe it was gang related? I dunno.

KABC copter pilot speculating, based on his visual, that the second deceased suspect (closer to the suv) is female?

nomar, Thursday, 3 December 2015 01:00 (eight years ago) link

To clarify, the two most basic and most meaningful distinctions among firearms are between:

1) side arms (handguns) and long arms (rifles, shotguns), and
2) fully automatic fire and requiring each round to be fired separately.

A semi-automatic gun still requires each round to be fired on its own, but each new round enters the chamber as soon as the previous round has been fired, so firing can still be very rapid. AK-47s are fully automatic, so basically they are machine guns, with an option for semi-automatic operation.

that's what i was thinking --- even if the shooting was "because of a dispute" it was a dispute the person anticipated having, and planned to respond to

jason waterfalls (gbx), Thursday, 3 December 2015 01:06 (eight years ago) link

From the NYTimes

"Investigators believe there were three gunmen and one of them had worked at the facility and recently had a dispute with fellow employees, according to law enforcement officials. A witness has told police that although the gunmen had their faces covered, one of them sounded and appeared very similar to an employee who had left the facility earlier in the day. “They had their appearances covered but a witness believed it had been someone who worked there,” said one official."

I called one of my employees on his personal cell while he was on vacation, with clammy hands, playing what-if games in my head, then he picked up and reminded me he was in Hawaii after Thanksgiving. I have a couple or three coworkers from a CSUSB scholarship program. I hope I don't learn anything extra-special-horrible tomorrow.

El Tomboto, Thursday, 3 December 2015 01:16 (eight years ago) link

as if all of them aren't already inexplicable on some level to me, this is one legitimately bizarre mass shooting if that story holds true

As one of the boards resident Houstonians (and also as someone who lives not far from where the incident happened), I should point out that this is highly unlikely to be political because it happened at a clinic. and more something that was par for the course in the sketchy neighborhood the clinic happens to be in.

I dunno, "disgruntled employee" was the first thing that popped into my head about this tbh. Or have people forgotten where the phrase "going postal" came from.
