Ongoing gun violence/injury thread

Tennessee Waffle House shooting suspect has been taken into custody, authorities say

In May 2016, Reinking told deputies from Tazewell County, Illinois, that music superstar Taylor Swift was stalking him and hacking his phone, and that his family was also involved, according to a report released Sunday.

It is not clear why Reinking moved recently from Morton, Illinois, and if it had anything to do with being near Swift, who has a home in Nashville. Police say he worked in construction for a while.

 
I heard the shooter was tackled when he reloaded. Another instance of magazine size not mattering.
 
The shooter had a gun on him when he the police apprehended him without incident.
 
odd there isn't any praise coming out of the White House for the heroic guy who took down the shooter. Wonder why

The Liberal Media (MSNBC) said Sarah Huckabee Sanders praised James Shaw Jr. for his actions in today's press briefing.

No doubt in my mind that if the shooter was black, he'd be dead right now.
 
Innocent teen bystander dies from gunshot wound to head: Huffman High grieves again

Same high school as the teenager that was killed in school shortly after Parkland.

A 17-year-old Birmingham student clung to life overnight Tuesday, but lost the fight Wednesday morning, about 14 hours after she took a bullet to the head meant for someone else.

Nyteria Spigner, a junior at Huffman High School, was pronounced dead at UAB Hospital. She is the city's 35th homicide in 2018, and the second Huffman student to die by gunfire in less than two months.
 
35 homicides in Birmingham with a population of 212K.

147 homicides in Chicago with a population of 2.7 million.

Alabama needs to shut up about Chicago gun laws.

So fewer in Birmingham than Chicago. Noted.
 
San Antonio high school seniors had troubled relationship prior to murder-suicide, friends say

Clarissa Riojas was set to graduate from Highlands High School this summer.

The 18-year-old planned to continue her education at the University of the Incarnate Word. And her championship-winning high school dance team was scheduled to perform at this year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

But her plans -- and her life -- were cut short around 8 a.m. Wednesday when her ex-boyfriend, 19-year-old Louis Nickerson, broke into her apartment in the 3900 block of Southeast Military Drive and shot her to death in front of her younger sister, officials said.

"She was always telling me how he was abusive," said Adrean Coy, 19. "But she felt bad for him so she tried to help him."

Coy said Riojas told him that Nickerson was both physically and verbally abusive to her. Nickerson had even slashed Coy's tires in a jealous rage, Coy said. He said Riojas would have to block him on social media on occasion because she didn't want Nickerson to discover they were talking.
 
Think he means as it relates to the total number of people that live there

Looks like a great excuse for gun owners to use to kill.
 
Sheriff: Hall County sniper-style attack inspired by Parkland school shooter

The sniper-style shooter who hit two people on a Hall County highway Friday before taking his own life was allegedly influenced by the Parkland shooter, authorities said.

Hall County Sheriff Gerald Couch said in a news conference Saturday morning that Rex Whitmire Harbour, 26, of Snellville, “idolized” Nikolas Cruz, who killed 17 people at Florida’s Parkland High School in February. Investigators found handwritten documents in Harbour’s home that allegedly called Cruz a “hero” who gave him “courage and confidence.”

On Friday, Harbour shot a 9mm pistol at multiple cars, hitting at least seven, on Ga. 365 near Whitehall Road, Couch said. Two people were taken to the hospital with gunshot wounds and another was injured by broken glass from the gunfire. None of the injuries was life-threatening.
