Ongoing situation....dont have a lot of details other than what we can hear on the radio. Guy walked out of the store and pulled a gun and has apparently shot 2 cops and some others. This is on Carrier and I20. I work about 2 miles from there.

How soon until Moore gets there to yell at Wal-Mart for selling ammo?

Think the guy will shoot him?

That'd be irony for ya.

Actually....little update.

The guy was in a van that has been in the parking lot for a few days. Store employees noticed that it was sitting there all night with the engine running. Manager calls the cops to come check it out. Cops walk up to do a check to make sure everything is all right and the guy shoots them. Hit one in the chest and the other in the arm.

They have the highway shut down now and the SWAT team is moving in.

Nothing on the major networks yet. CNN is back to stroking the prisoner abuse thing.

I know youre trying to prove something here - just cant figure out what it is.

Take a look at the time I posted and think about when the news of the beheading showed up.

Maybe we should go apologize, now, eh? Its all Amereeka's fault.

You were making a slight against CNN for reporting what you impled, by your comment, to be "below the fold" material, which is where some would prefer this story to go to.

I merely replied in kind, albeit with more sarcasm, and the fact you missed the point, suggests that the spirit in which the post was intended went the way of a barry bonds hit baseball on its way to McCovey Cove...

No offense taken, and none given...I'm still sad for you over the Belmont

One of the police officers in the shooting has died. Such a tragedy...

The standoff continues...

I'm leaving for the airport to head off to Chile and Brazil for 10 days....so adios folks.
