    One shooter and no confirmed deaths (as in numbers)

    True. I guess when so many dead it hard to imagine just one guy did it.

    Think i’ll leave you to get your kicks off wallowing in your circle jerk ****ehawkery.

    You're going to stop shitting all over the thread? Good.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,646 ✭✭✭_blaaz


    3 people in custody would lean towards the former.

    Tbh it would be scary development as previous political attack were lone wolfs


    This might blow sonny noggs mind...but imo its most likely muslim as they have better ability to put together terroist cells (though hopefully its nutter gone loose)

    I thought all Texans had guns, they claimed it was the only place a Mass Shooting could never happen, because as soon as a gunman fired one shot, he'd have 20 bullets in him. I guess that didn't pan out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,339 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Just listening to a press conference from the El Paso PD and I don't know why they are holding a press conference now becaus he couldn't confirm numbers on much of anything. Would it not be better to wait to have more concrete info and then brief the press ?

    The US department of travel put out a hilarious warning for any US citizens going to some music festival in South Dublin (name escapes me).. for a potential of violence.

    It's about time countries around world started issuing travel warnings about the US.

    Edit.. longitude it was


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    Chances are gang shoot out and not for the first time in a public place or Texas has the highest gun ownership in the states ,
    Could have been wannabe hero's and mall security shooting back at a threat

    11 victims transported to hospital,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    Police source confirms 18 dead so far.


    Police confirmed 18 taken to hospital not 18 dead


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,578 ✭✭✭✭Boggles

    More to do with the shooter moving around and multiple panicked reports.

    I don’t know what’s scarier about that photo. The assault rifle (I know someone is going to correct me on that) or the ear protectors. Insane enough to go on a spree but of right enough mind to worry about protecting his hearing.

    One person in custody

    I think they were concerned about more shooters because (if the above tweet is true), he sent a snap asking if anyone wanted to go to the shopping centre with him and then a pic of his weapon.

    You're obsessed with Muslims. Bizarre poster.

    Unless you sincerely believe that regular mass shootings are an acceptable consequence of having guns widely available, the (very obvious) fact that the vast majority of American gun owners don't go on murderous rampages is - or at least should be - irrelevant. It happens way too often.

    Bizarre? Are you on drugs or something?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,511 ✭✭✭Sweetemotion


    Showing a picture of the suspect now.

    White guy, looks mid 20's wearing ear muffs and carrying what looks like an AK47.

    Edit M16.

    This is mostly an Hispanic City? Considering Trumps attack on the Hispanic Squad it's hardly a surprise they're attacked.

    Police source said 18 dead. And then there was conflicting reports it might be 18 shot and injured. Police have confirmed casualties though.

    Yeah dude, you clearly don’t care. You did well to post with one hand down your pants.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling

    Apparently he tweeted to see if anyone was interested in getting pictures with his gun or something at the mall(open to correction)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85,051 ✭✭✭✭Overheal



    Whoops Omar was right again.

    That’s chilling to see, on a more somber note. Terrifying.

    Would this have happened if Walmart didn't ban their employees from conceal carry on the job?

    Ear Defenders?

    Safety First I guess.

    What an absolute cretin.

    Yes, it's all Trump's fault. This stuff never happened before he was made president i believe.

    America is seriously f*$ked up in every way, I wouldn't dream of even visiting there for a weekend

    It’s a border town. Not sure of the demographics but no doubt there is a sizeable Mexican population. Not sure what the Hispanic Squad is but it’s likely not an attack against Mexicans if the surname doing the rounds is correct. Photo of shooter also looks Hispanic.

    Your only contributions to this topic have been to attack and abuse people who don't share your political beliefs. Maybe have a look at yourself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17 Jody Smoke


    You should never be allowed to own a car, you might drink and drive.

    Guns aren't quite as necessary as cars are and there's also the fact that there is really no need for people to own anything more than a hand gun but invariably these mass shootings are committed with weapons designed for causing mass damage rather than defensive purposes.

    Trump is not a racist, but the leftist media had done an amazing job of convincing people he is, and those people, actual racists come out to support Trump. So in a way the likes of CNN are drumming up support for him, claiming he's a racist, so the actual racist population vote for him.

    Yep gonna shoot best without your ear ringing and listening to victims scream for their lives. Hard to believe if this won’t be regarded an act of terrorism.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,339 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    There seems to be conflicting reports of how many suspects there are.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,560 ✭✭✭weisses

    Feeling tough shooting up a mall ....... With ****in ear muffs on :(

    You have never been there? But somehow know that it is ****ed up in very way... I can see from the scat fetish thread that you are a sound lad but I think you need to get out a bit more and don’t judge things based on ****e like this thread.

    Indeed. Out for the day shopping and some crazy lunatic walks in with an AK47 and starts shooting, horrible.

    I was picturing the shooter as a red neck with a mullet. He looks Hispanic, that's a wake up call.

    I'm guessing he wanted to be caught alive for some reason.

    Three was mentioned early on but police have said they’ve arrested a suspect and are t looking for anyone else.

    Scene is “active but under control”. What does that mean?
