"There has been several (shootings) at several different locations. It's a fluid situation," said John Harmon, a spokesman for the Tennessee Highway Patrol, which is assisting local authorities. "We've got an officer down," Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke told reporters, calling it a "very terrible situation." Lee University in Tennessee is on lockdown, the school said on its website. It advised people to stay inside until further notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 These stories always start with reports of multiple shooters and then end up being a single crazy guy. Sounds like someone fired shots into a recruiting office and then drove off. No one killed, thank God, from what I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Waiting on full story. Hopefully, they catch the guy. This happens way too often these days. I wish we attempted to do something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be two places where the shootings took place but only one shooter involved so far. Press conference at 2 pm local I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovetoaster Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 oh damn i'm done with joking I thought the first report of no deaths was accurate. I'm going to shut up for a while. Yeah, I have seen conflicting reports...some say only injuries, some say four deaths. I hope the former is the case. I suppose we will find out more at the press conference shortly.

Burgold Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I don't really like counting the gunman along with the number killed although I can see why they might do that. I'm trying not to include my agenda, Semper Fi. As long as the NRA doesn't suggest the answer to these shootings is people need to buy more guns, I think I can hold out.

Extremism/terrorism, including domestic, is not political, not an agenda, and not a joke. I put my guess out based on the current climate. Like I said, we'll see.

All i'm saying... Right wing extremism has nothing to do with politics or right wing politicians... though the latter do pander to them with little shame and the spread of dumbed down messaging probably directly encourages extremist activity. But we'll save that for later. Back to your regularly scheduled shooting thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
