Another fucking spree shooting. Great.

Totally worth it, though. You wouldn't want be as unfree as your neighbours up North.

lol

Chicago’s ABC affiliate reports:

An active shooting situation has been reported at the Henry Pratt Company in southwest suburban Aurora in Kane County. The Henry Pratt company is located in the 400 block of South Highland Avenue. The shooting was confirmed by Kane County Sheriff.

At approximately 2:20 p.m., several SWAT officers were visible outside the Henry Pratt building and the scene appeared to still be active. Holy Angels School is on lockdown, as is Capital Printing and Die Cutting in the 300 block of South Highland.

West Aurora Schools are on soft lockdown and all students are being held in the building. An employee at Capital Printing told ABC7 they are currently sheltering in a closet.

Used to leave near there and have a friend who still lives in Aurora. She says they got the shooter but he shot a couple cops and civillians.

(Chicago burbs in case anyone else was wondering)

oh also, this happened two days ago, but I guess spree shootings don't get reported on if the nine people in the restaurant aren't hurt by the 19 assault rifle shots:

SAN DIEGO (CNS) – A 29-year-old man who allegedly opened fire on a Hillcrest restaurant with a high-powered rifle was being held today without bail.

Stefano Markell Parker was arrested nearly an hour and a half after the non-injury shooting that happened around 7:40 p.m. Tuesday at a restaurant near the intersection of University and Fourth avenues, according to San Diego police.

Dispatchers received several calls from people reporting that a man wearing a trench coat was carrying a rifle near the Hillcrest intersection, which is lined with restaurants and bars, San Diego police Officer John Buttle said. He said the gunman walked up to The Asian Bistro, 414 University Ave., and started firing into the restaurant.

“Several people and employees were inside. However, nobody was hit by gunfire,” Buttle said.

The gunman then lowered the rifle and walked away, the officer said.

see guns are perfectly safe

Sister-in-law and stepdad both work in Aurora, thankfully both far enough away from this and are fine.

“Several people and employees were inside. However, nobody was hit by gunfire,” Buttle said.

just like an episode of the a-team

five dead in that Aurora shooting

not counting the shooter

christ

My school has an outpost in Aurora and many of our students are factory workers. I haven't heard anything from the school -- i hate to ask this but have the dead been named?

Victims named.

thank you. this is horrible.

Not a spree but...at my Alma mater today.

The "isolated incident" was a handgun suicide in the gym.

Don't even have the words :(

oh no

why

got to. this America, man.

Urban Brazil is pretty awful. Bolsonaro voters were voting for short sharp shocked treatment of gangs, more than they were to burn the Amazon rainforest down.

As to why, how better to get even with a business partner than kill his kid and all of his friends?

It doesn't particularly reflect the gun availability and mental health crisis in the United States, though.

There are updated reports naming the two gunmen in SP as ex-students, though obviously a lot still to be verified.

Confirmed as former students now. It looks a lot like the Crimea shooting last year.

I’ve got little hope that this will go the way of tobacco litigation in terms of regulatory control or chastening the manufacturers’ worst inclinations, but better than nothing I guess

Re Sao Paulo

The shooters used a .38 revolver, a crossbow, and a bow.

Multiple mosques attacked in Christchurch NZ.

more than one? all i can find is news about this one so far:

My best friend is in chch, currently in lock down at her job

All mosques in the country have been asked to go into lock down

Chch has a long history of white nationalist groups so it’s unsurprising that this kind of thing would happen there, over any other city in nz

3 men, 1 woman arrested

At least one bomb found within 3 km of one of the mosques

4 crime scenes under investigation

Fuck scott Morrison and his empty platitudes. The first terrorist they arrested after the shooting is a fucking Australian.

Fucking Twitter will no longer let me report tweets sharing the terrorist’s footage

I'm in Chch, currently in lockdown in a hospital building about 5 minutes from Hagley Park. Nothing really to add but might be able to answer questions if anyone has any.

40 people confirmed dead

Reports that the entire Bangladesh cricket team were at one of the mosques but got out safely.

This is all just horrific. I've had a sense, for a while, that the threat of far right terrorism just hasn't been taken as seriously by authorities. Time for that to change.

First time i can recall seeing so many official news places just come right out and say 'terrorist' and 'terror attack' instead of just 'gunman'.

horrific

Chch has a long history of white nationalist groups so it’s unsurprising that this kind of thing would happen there, over any other city in nz

I'm assuming this angle is going to be covered in the next few days, because it's not getting mentioned at the moment.

I’ll be interested to see if anything at all is mentioned about that - the shooter is Australian so I think that’s the angle the media will focus on. Australia is pretty fucking racist and their politicians have been stirring the pot with a lot of anti immigrant and anti refugee bullshit.

The south island of nz (where chch is located) is much much whiter than the north island.

49 dead now.

What a fucking nightmare. Fuck the terrorists, and fuck all those who abetted the hatred.

And a special fuck you to the French commenter in Le Monde who is 'mildly' disgusted to discover that there are mosques in a city called 'Christchurch' and who admits that he's struggling to find compassion in his heart, no matter how un-Christian that might be. Fuck the alt-right trolls who are actively minimizing this event, just like they did after the mosque shooting in Quebec city.

Right now I’m for rounding up alt-right fucksticks and sending them to re-education camps. We can start with your man from Le Monde there.

have youtube banned Tommy Robinson yet?

Devastating, but no one can claim to be surprised by this happening. My worry right now is that irresponsible reporting will direct people to the places this rhetoric is posted and also that there will be more copycat incidents like this soon. Just the most awful thing to wake up to.
