Active Shooter at Chicago Hospital

Postby Rojava Free State » Mon Nov 19, 2018 3:19 pm

https://www.chron.com/news/crime/articl ... 406059.php

So beyond what's in this news article, this sounds like a War in Chiraq incident. One woman at the scene reported that the shooters began firing at a car in the hospital parking lot and then chased someone inside, and it sounds like people were trading shots within the hospital. One officer is injured and at least two people are dead.

Multiple people, including police officer and shooter, wounded in 'active shooter' attack at Mercy Hospital: Officials

It's real. The surprise is that- better not jinx it.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

My family is originally from Chicago, and I can tell you the gang problem there is worse than Los Angeles. These gangs will shoot at each other in broad daylight with kids around, and wouldn't have moral qualms fighting in a hospital

Seems one officer was saved by having a gun.. literally.. he was shot at and the bullet hit his holster and embedded into his gun.

I guess guns do save lives..

Officials say the gunman appeared to target a woman he was in a relationship with, but they do not suggest a motive.

The kind trying to kill someone at a hospital. This looks like a attempted murder that turned into a shootout.

Some dumbass gunning for someone shoots recklessly and people get killed in the crossfire and people in the thread act like it's one of those public mass shootings.

This was more of a targeted hit with collateral damage than a mass shooting.
