    I sure wish we could figure that out.

    The suspected shooter was "neutralized" by a city police officer who was responding to an unrelated call at the mall, he said.

    also known as permanent ventilation

    9 dead so far. Would have been many more if not for the actions of a Solo Police Officer with good gun control under extreme pressure. What he did is what every officer should aspire to be able to do. Bravo

    Shooter was wearing "Tactical Gear"

    Kudos to the Officer who stopped the shooter. Odds are he saved multiple lives.

    You have to login to twitter to view and I don't have a twitter account. That's okay with me, though. I've seen enough heads blown apart to last me.

    Twitter is under fire this morning for allowing this and related videos to remain running.

    Please tell me why the public has a "need to know" and see this. Imagine a parent unwittingly going there and seeing their dead or dying child. In my mind, Facebook and all similar "social media" sites fall into the same trash bucket.

    On that we will always agree, Dave...Right here and a Dodge/Cummins forum and a S&W forum is as "social" as I get...The rest are there only for the money......Ben

    A good friend of mine was incensed when he found out his sister had died----by someone who saw it on Facebook. Her DIL decided that she needed to post it before the rest of the family could be informed

    Yep, give our people the ability to put things online and watch the circus roll into town.

    Wifey is on Facebook since she wants to keep up on family/social matters and there it is. Me? If it's something I need to know she tells me about it. She's a gatekeeper.
