Ongoing gun violence/injury thread

I was told there would be a 45 page thread on this by now.
 
A person is dead, another injured in a public shooting, and "meh" is the response from a lot of people (thanks for carrying the banner, Milhouse). This happens every day and we gloss over it like it's just another Thursday.

So depressing.

It is depressing, but it is just another Thursday. It happens every day.
 
It's up to three dead now. They have the suspect in custody.

A local mother ran up to 9NEWS' Steve Staeger crying and holding her cell phone. Her son was in the store when the shooting happened and told her he heard multiple gunshots ring out inside.

One father, whose daughter was in the store at the time of the shooting, says he just wants to find her.

"I was going to stop by her house," said Loyd Diggs to 9NEWS. "She said she was going to shop at Walmart - haven't heard from her."

Shoppers pulled guns in response to Thornton Walmart shooting, but police say that slowed investigation

When a gunman opened fire inside a Walmart in Thornton Wednesday night, shoppers screamed and ran for cover — and others pulled out their own handguns.

But those who drew weapons during the shootings ultimately delayed the investigation as authorities pored over surveillance videotape trying to identify the assailant who killed three people, police said Thursday.

Although authorities said “a few” individuals drew handguns, they posed no physical hazard to officers. But their presence “absolutely” slowed the process of determining who, and how many, suspects were involved in the shootings, said Thornton police spokesman Victor Avila.

Hold up. Are you saying that people who pull out a handguns during a shooting look like co-conspirators? That's crazy talk.
