suspect dead at scene

so a possible theory is the guy gets into a heated argument yesterday. he gets his gun and comes back today to settle it. he starts shooting and the next thing he knows he has shot 15 people. he freaks out and kills himself

possible. seems slightly more likely to me than the gang retaliation theory but obviously we are just taking wild guesses

To be fair, if it wasn't him, the thread would be full of pro-gun comments wondering when liberals would try to spin it another way.

It never fails in these threads. Loons on both sides can't pass up an opportunity to make a fool of themselves.

This is my theory.

A gaming tournament is a random place for some random shooter to target. It is a very specific setting that requires authorized access.

BREAKING ALERT: Witness are describing multiple shooters at #TheLandingMassShooting. One shooter is confirmed dead. - per a random tweet I saw (grain of salt)

Agreed. It doesn’t take long for some dufus on either side to step on his political soapbox

this pretty much always happens and almost always tuns out to be bogus

but if it is true, "gang shooting" jumps to like 5:1

Hearing the shots doesn’t sound like it was an “assault rifle”. Sounds like it was a pistol.

A bunch of edgelord Madden players get shot up at a tournament and you are writing off weird white kid this early on?

Maybe but I keep thinking about a terrorist camp in New Mexico that had a list of places to shoot up.

Can you put a laser sight on a pistol, though?

Odds are pretty high it's a gang related shooting
