As sad as it is true.

Missouri has extremely weak gun laws, ranked 38th in the country by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety, which noted that the state has “one of the highest rates of gun deaths, gun homicide rates, and household firearm ownership”.

Gun owners in the state are not required to obtain a permit to purchase rifles, shotguns, or handguns, do not have to register their firearms or be licensed to own them, and do not need a permit to carry them, according to the National Rifle Association.

There are 12 states with laws weaker than that. Imagine how fucked up those laws are.

I'd be put off taking my family to the World Cup there in a few years. It's a mentalists wet dream, there'll be plenty of these shootings near stadiums and stations.

No there won't.

 

The mentalists you are speaking of have zero interest in "the world." It is domestic, politically based terrorism.

 

I've been hearing similar about Dublin, that it is certainly going to kick off, visitors will be targeted etc.

Still going mind.

On top of the local lads (FUCK YEAH!), all the shit going on in the Middle East at the moment is nailed on to spark a few more jihadi attacks on the West.

When I was hopping over the barricade, my foot hit [it] and my face nailed the concrete,” Gabe Wallace told the newspaper.

I apologise to everyone. I giggled at this. I am a bad person.

 

I do feel sorry for all of these people, the wounded, and those killed. But I just couldn’t help myself with that bit.

This Uvalde school shooting is getting worse for the police.

 

 

Guy continued to sucked the teat for two years til this:

 

 

Less than a week after the Uvalde City Council received an investigative report clearing local police officers of wrongdoing in the 2022 Robb Elementary School massacre, the Texas city’s police chief abruptly announced Tuesday he is quitting.

The resignation came hours before the council declined to comment on the investigative report during a regularly scheduled public meeting Tuesday night, saying it needed more time to assess the report’s findings.

The findings came after reports from the US Department of Justice and the Texas House of Representatives said there were multiple failures with the law enforcement response.

Rodriguez has stood by his officers who responded to the school and has not taken disciplinary action against them, even as families have persisted in demanding he fire those who waited in the hallway.

 

Don McLaughlin, who was mayor when the shooting happened and when the report was commissioned, said it was supposed to help identify mistakes that were made – though the report itself notes it was prepared “in anticipation of litigation.”

Someone killed 4 Federal Marshals:

Four officers serving a warrant for a wanted man in North Carolina were shot and killed while another four agents were wounded, police said.

 

In one of the deadliest days for law enforcement in years, a suspect — a felon wanted for possession of a weapon — was also killed after opening fire from a suburban home in Charlotte on Monday.

 

A second person also fired at officers from inside the property where a high-powered rifle was discovered, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg police chief Johnny Jennings.

 

A woman and a 17-year-old male were found in the house after a three-hour standoff and were being questioned.

 

“Today we lost some heroes who were out simply trying to keep our community safe,” Jennings said.

 

 

An agent from the Marshals Service was killed, the agency said, while two officers from the state Department of Adult Correction were also among the dead, according to North Carolina governor Roy Cooper.

 

Four local police officers were shot while trying to rescue wounded law enforcement and one of them died hours later in hospital, Jennings said.

 

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer Joshua Eyer was named the officer of the month for the force for April a few weeks ago, the chief said.

 

“He certainly gave his life and dedicated his life to protecting our citizens,” Jennings said.

 

Neighbours described a gun fight that lasted for several minutes while a local television news station said its helicopter captured an armoured vehicle ploughing through residential gardens.

 

Officers removed a person with blood on their shirt before loading him into an ambulance.

 

The helicopter pilot said that he could not show the front lawn of the house because the scene was too graphic.

The names of the dead suspect and the slain officers have not been released.

 

“A lot of the questions that need to be answered, we don’t even know what those questions are now,” Jennings said less than four hours after the shooting.

 

“We have to get a full understanding of why this occurred and also uphold the integrity of the investigation.”

 

Video shared on social media showed ambulances racing from the scene to local hospitals.

 

Rissa Reign, who lives near the suspect’s home, said she was cleaning when the first shots rang out.

 

“When we came outside, there were no cops at all, then cops started rushing, rushing, rushing, rushing in,” she told the Associated Press.

 

Reign described armoured SWAT trucks rushing to the property and more shots being fired.

 

Kiashia Williams, another neighbour, heard gunfire before the emergency services descended on the scene. “Ambulances, police and everything everywhere just started rushing down,” she said.

 

Fugitive task forces bring officers from different agencies together to hunt down suspects. The last marshal killed in the line of duty was in November 2018, when Chase White was shot dead by a wanted man in Tucson, Arizona.

 

Vi Lyles, the mayor of Charlotte, praised the officers who attended the scene on Monday. “These are people that care deeply about what they’ve done for a profession,” she told a press conference. “And now today, we have to say to them how much we are grateful for what they have done.”
