It's sad regardless. I'm not offended but if I knew one of the victims I would hate to see it first on a message board.

It's 4 am. If you're just joining us don't bother reading the last 4-5 pages. Just some assholes debating gun control.

There was another presser at 1:40. Link to article on it below.

*not included in the article*
I'm hearing inside rumors that a local woman who was friends with many people I know, who was in a local band and owned 2 very cool businesses also died. Not sure if she was the 3rd victim that "died later at the hospital" or if this brings the number up to 4. If the news of her death is true....I just can't imagine. This is fricking horrible.

I don't think they should say 3 dead. It should be 2 dead and frick that shooter.

Pistol

It sounds like he just stood up near the back know the theater while people were watching the movie and started shooting them from behind.

The more I think about it the more angry I get

This isn't the thread to discuss gun control.

It looks like the girl's name mentioned above is correct, according to FB. Her husband owns a cool little shop in River Ranch. Didn't know them beyond visiting their shop, but really nice, down-to-earth, interesting people who did not deserve this.

A Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office unit and a Lafayette Police Department unit collided at the corner of Johnston Street and University Avenue while responding to the shooting.



It sounds like it caught everyone off guard and people were in panic running around.

I think the story of the teacher taking a bullet for another teacher is heroic.

They have 3 shops in town. It's 2 businesses but 1 has 2 locations. So both are in River Ranch and the 2nd location is downtown.

My wife sent me to the one near Broken Egg a few times when she spotted some gifts she really liked. Again, really nice people.

I was just rereading the thread and these are the "facts" reported on the first few pages.

6 people dead
Pregnant woman shot
Shooter walking into the theater and opened fire
Cops took the prep out.


Honestly not as bad as rumors on social media usually get. We still haven't figured out of this guy was a disgruntled ex husband seeking revenge on his ex wife. I personally doubt it but we will see.

What the hell is wrong with people? If they want to check out of life be my guest. Why the need to cause pain for others?
