Eight shot overnight in Omaha, one dead so far.

One dead, seven injured after overnight shooting in Omaha

An investigation is underway with OPD Homicide Unit after one person died and seven people were injured in an overnight shooting early Sunday morning.

This probably won't get much attention because 1) it's in flyover country, and 2) it's in "North O" (Omaha's majority black neighborhood.)

Didn't they have a mass shooting a couple of years ago?

Va Tech had a mass shooting in around 2007, 30+ dead if I remember correctly. If UVa has had another, it passed me by - and how sad is it that it's even possible for mass shootings to go relatively unnoticed.

That's probably the place. There's so many, you can't tell the players without a scorecard anymore.

no information released yet on the cause of the campus 'homicides" in Idaho...

Sounds personal the Hazing investigation that no one reported on is a worrying foreshadowing

Then I remembered.

Why homicides in quotes? I rather doubt they were accidents

the article seemed as if it wasn't sure

second degree charge so seems to be a little more to it than straight up murder

Five people dead and 18 injured after a shooting at a gay nightclub overnight in Colorado Springs, Colorado:

A gunman opened fire at a Colorado Springs gay nightclub late on Saturday, killing at least 5 people and injuring 18, police said.

The suspected shooter was injured in the incident, apprehended and hospitalized, Colorado Springs Police Department spokeswoman Sgt. Pamela Castro said at an early morning briefing Sunday. Police released no further information about the attacker.

"We have numerous people transported to multiple local hospitals via ambulance and police cruisers. The hospitals are helping us to notify family who have been injured," Castro said.

The FBI was assisting on the scene, she said, adding, "we will be here for many many hours to come."

“We thank the quick reactions of heroic customers that subdued the gunman and ended this hate attack,” the nightclub, Club Q, posted on its Facebook page.

Police responded to initial calls at 11:57 p.m. (1:57 a.m. Sunday ET). Social media footage from across the street and verified by NBC News showed dozens of police vehicles and a fire truck deployed near the club.

Club Q was hosting a “Drag Divas” show followed by a DJ night on Saturday, according to its Facebook page.

5 killed after gunman opens fire at LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs

More than two dozen were injured in the midnight attack, police said, adding that the suspect had been apprehended and hospitalized.

Colorado Springs is the homebase for a lot of Christian hate groups. All this talk about people who perform in drag shows being "groomers" contributed to these deaths.

What a piece of fucking shit. At least he's alive so he can rot in prison forever.

I directly blame Fox News, Steven Crowder, the Daily Wire, including and especially the disgusting creepy Matt Walsh. These people continue to have blood on their hands. I wish someone would shoot Crowder, tbh. There I said it, in Minecraft obviously. I find him and his rampant homo/transphobia )and all round bigotry) utterly vile. Walsh is a fucking monster

 

[Ax^]

regularly shooting for the lot of them is fine to

 

[8ball]

That Walsh guy - I can’t figure out whether he is a psychopath or just a True Believer.

I’m kind of leaning towards the latter.

The effects are basically the same, obv.

Today was Trans Day of Remembrance.

At least two of the people killed, including bartender Daniel Aston, were transgender. Maybe their deaths will push right-wing politicians in the US and beyond to tone down their hateful anti-trans rhetoric, but I'm not holding my breath.

That won't happen. At all.

 

[Yossarian]

Yeah, no doubt the people in question will blame the shooting on the nightclub's staff and patrons not having enough guns.

They'll just say it happens in a godless society where 'anything' goes/CRT. and that the shooter was a lone wolf. Anomalous. Unlike when blacks shoot each other in Chicago etc.

I don't think there's any saving America as is

Yeh, I wouldn't hold my breath. This is exactly the result they were looking for. They will ramp up the rhetoric, not tone it down.
