    Aunty[^]:

    Several people have been shot near the Empire State Building in New York City, the authorities have said. Local news media are reporting that the gunshots were heard before 09:00 (13:00 GMT). The Associated Press news agency said the shooter was dead.

    The Torygraph have it as 3, I've seen 4-6 mentioned on Twatter[^].

              Meanwhile, 8 people were shot in a single driveby shooting in Chicago. [^] A nice fact: only 1 in 10 homicides and 1 in 25 shootings are solved in this city.

                  After living in San Antonio for several years (9), you got kind of used to the sad fact that people are murdered everyday. Sometimes for their shoes for crying out loud!

                      But remember its not the fact they have guns are that is only civilised, if they didnt have guns then he would have used a big stick

                              Gun possession in New York City is highly restricted. Just goes to reinforce the notion that prohibition doesn't work.

                                      In terms of random civilian shooting: no, just the US.

                                        Gun possession in New York City is highly restricted. Just goes to reinforce the notion that prohibition doesn't work.

                                        so enforce it better, anytime a disgruntaled ex employee can just turn up and shoot someone then sorry but you have a problem, unless the reports are wrong this was just a peed off counter jocky not a member of the local mafia yet they seem to have easy access to a gun, not a problem with restriction being too high but too low or badly enforced

                                        You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

                                          Several people have been shot near the Empire State Building in New York City, the authorities have said. Local news media are reporting that the gunshots were heard before 09:00 (13:00 GMT). The Associated Press news agency said the shooter was dead.

                                          The Torygraph have it as 3, I've seen 4-6 mentioned on Twatter[^].

                                          It's the coddled kids becoming adults in age only. They don't know how to act when any adversity comes around, so they overreact and grab a gun because someone disrespected them. A real man brushes himself off, learns from his experience, and moves on with his life. Vince Lombardi said it best: "It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up."
