Houston strip mall mass shooting

[pudly]

Still very early, so details are sketchy. Apparently at least 6 shot and the bomb squad has been called in.

Police shoot 'active shooter' at strip mall in Houston

Perhaps a kernel of consolation - what kind of terrorist goes to a shopping mall at 7:00 am? This initially strikes me more as a disturbed person/domestic issue at the moment.

FWIW.

I also wonder if this isn't like the Washington mall shooting. Given the odd time, my money is there is a relationship between the shooter and one or more victims. Ex employee targeting a manager, etc.

Random nutter? ...... Pretty vague so far.

Dude was shot, but apparently taken alive, so we'll probably have a clearer idea before lunch.

That's what's important after all, on this first-presidential-debate day.

If he was wearing a MAGA hat... it's possible there's some trickery afoot.

The most important take away is education .... People need to stay clear of enhanced victim zones.

Suspect is dead.

My first thought was Krav Maga. Which confused me for far longer than is it should've.

If I were in Simon's legal team (and I'm not), I'd be having a serious conversation with my insurance carrier(s) about getting sued for being a GFZ. I think that risk is very real.

Suspect is dead.

Oops. Let the conspiracy theorizing commence.

FWIW.

I would wager that there are more mentally disturbed people in the world than committed terrorists....so that kernel of consolation is pretty small.

The gun did it. The man was just another innocent victim.

It's very old, but you may as well resign yourself to it continuing indefinitely. The only solutions are (a) eliminate all guns, bombs, poisons and other improvised weapons or (b) eliminating mental illness, terrorism, and other motivations, or (c) creating a far higher a level of civility and eliminating divisiveness in our politics. In other words, resign yourself to it continuing indefinitely.

Not sure if you've ever been to a shopping mall at 7 am, or CIA headquarters for that matter, but I'd bet the latter is more populated. Even as a government agency.

Wonder how long it will take the media to make the suspects photo lightened up to make him look more white? Not being racist, they have already done this...
