Just heard about this myself. Another shooting. It's getting so, you're not safe anywhere, these days.
Hope no one was killed or seriously injured!!!
Glad they got the person who did this, I suppose, they're keeping mum on the details but hopefully they'll be able to check out if they're really
all just separate incidences. Sure has been quite a few of them lately though.
latest update: 4 people shot (2 police, 2 civilians). One police officer has died from gunshot wounds. One civilian has also died from gunshot wounds.
The other officer was shot in the leg. The other civilian was shot multiple times in the back and is in surgery now. 2 additional officers sustained
unspecified injuries, but were not shot.
Edit to add: the officer that was killed was a County Constable who was serving an eviction notice.

They didn't step out of the house. I think the guy just shot out his door and left it open. In the radio traffic I posted at around 5:20 the cop with
a nervous voice, says the guy just shot out his door when the cop coordinating asks for a description.
EDIT:
He was in the living room and just shot out the door.
I think he had the two cops pinned down from what I can tell.
they keep asking for a long gun to find the guy. They couldn't find the guy for about 15 minutes and not everyone knew what house it was.
He then closed the door and locked it. They started talking about going through a back door.
Ok. He had a scope on the gun and they saw him go around back.
then they say a lady was shot in a car.
lady next to a black Lexis is laying on the ground. They want to take this guy out first before getting her.
sent in evac or react team.....suspect coming out. 15 minutes so far.
already there is more than one victim. They say to get to the VICTIMS
so I think he left the house at this point since all of a sudden they can get to the victims.
some one got hit twice in the back in a blue blazer.
they are still trying to coordinate medical. 19 minutes. Then you hear some one say to advise the hospitals to prep for mass casualties.
then they say to preserve the crime scene if some one is shot.
female in blue blazer shot twice in back
more police and constables show up and want to help to coordinate setting a perimeter.
still trying to find him. 21:45
one down not breathing another sot twice in back....22:00
one cop says HE is down. 3111 down. 22.30
605 highland 2 wounded one black tag one red tag for triage
to send another medical further down for another injured..
then another guy says he needs another ambulance for all the other wounded.
Now they talk about the house. They are sending swat to the back yard.
So he didnt leave. 24:00
at fidelity and highland, fidelity is blocked off.
they are sending other units the wrong way, then advising the ambulances to take another route.26:09
they have one more victim to get out, leave one medical on stand by and then will try and go in.
they still want some one on the back door. He is still in the house.
then the guy who was talking before is asking for cold water. Probably for a victim he is protecting. Then a female voice responds and says she will
get cold water.
they are going to back board last victim.
305 fidelity & highland female voice calling out another gun shot victim. 29:05
I think at this point they are still sending in more medical, more victims to respond to Lincoln center or from it.
30:00
now they are calling to see if they are clear, maybe to clear out.
two other civilian VICTIMS. The one guy is in the house and they call another street with gun shot wounds.
unless He is using the scope they said he had, then there is another guy,....
32:20 another gun shot wound. another patient. asking to not clear out yet, before sending swat.
possible more victims.
last victim being cleared out. 33:43
woman, yellow tag, two gun shot wounds, just being brought in to medical center. 34:00
35:30 all traffic moved to tac one....?
now they are using cell phones....asking to call each other, guy complained before about too much radio traffic cant speak to command. 37:00
my connection is crapping out. I think that is all....try the last minutes though I think they are just waiting for police to respond now.

The world isn't getting worse, it's the media's portrayal of us all that is focused exclusively on violent acts and ill intent (except for the
really big criminals that pay the media to concentrate on everyone but themselves).
Still, any shooting is sad and my heart goes out to the victims and their families.
Why don't we hear more about the 1200 people shot in Chicago just this year?

"Obama has signed a law that permits Amtrak passengers to carry guns in their checked baggage and another that allows visitors to national parks and
wildlife refuges to possess concealed guns." articles.chicagotribune.com...
Rhonda Seaton, a spokeswoman with the College Station police department, told CNN that the three people killed were the constable, the man authorities
say opened fire on law enforcement officers and an unidentified civilian.

So, in light of that,
This is a sensless tragedy and my thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and familys.
I can't believe ANOTHER ONE happened.
My heart goes out to these people.
I sure hope everyone is paying attention.
I totally get what you are saying!!
This sounds like another senseless tragedy, and as previous posters have said, they seem to be more & more prevalent in our culture.
In our culture.

Sheppard Smith is talking about how "witnesses" claim the man shot at the Constable and the police officers with an "automatic" weapon.
I hate this kind of reporting. It is likely none of the "witnesses" can tell by the rate of fire weather the weapon was full or semi-auto or if it
was just a lot of rounds fired quickly with a bolt action rifle or even multiple breach loaders or muskets for that matter.
When they make statements like this it only inflames the "Why does anyone need an "automatic" weapon." debate. Sure in a sense they are right it
was likely a semi-auto weapon. However, the media feed the fire because to the uninformed hear "automatic" and envision Rambo or any of Arnold's
characters with some belt fed weapon hosing down the populace. I suppose the guy could have a federal full auto stamp or made illegal conversions
but I doubt it. He’s being evicted so likely money for that sort of thing isn’t plentiful.
My 1911 is a "automatic weapon" with a detachable magazine but hardly the weapon of mass destruction the average non-gun owner conjures up when he
hears the word "automatic". Imagery - manipulating the imagery is all part of the agenda.
I am so glad I already have all the weapons and ammo I will ever need. Shockingly though they were all stolen last week - shame I won't have any to
confiscate.

LOL - so the Dear Leader has "allowed" me to carry a weapon for self defense in a wilderness park. I feel so...legitimized. I think the
constitution allows me to do that already so his "indulgence" is nothing more than sleight of hand. Makes it "appear" as though he's not
anti-gun while in reality he's not really granting anything.
As for carrying a weapon in my luggage - I thought owning property and using it in a lawful manner was a right. I hope my baggage doesn't get angry
one day and start shooting up the trains. This is silly - again what did he grant? Nothing...he has "allowed" you to take your property from one
location to another which I think is a right we already have.
All part of the game - look at my left hand, looky here while I perform the bait and switch.... It’s a feint - watch out for the haymaker is all I
can say.

Children play with their hidden friends.
Add - Reference the "automatic" weapons reported locally, they simply said "automatic" and didn't specify if they were semi or fully automatic. We DO
have people in my area with FULLY automatics though. Yes, we know the difference.

Absolutely. I'd be willing to bet this guy "acquired his weapon LEGALLY", like the whackos before him.
My husband and I acquired our firearms LEGALLY and we are not rampaging thru the country pickin people off.
If the government wants my guns, come'n get em - FROM MY COLD, DEAD HANDS.
Love and prayers to all affected.
I do not understand why so many people have to suffer so...
