Shooting at Empire State Building

[thumperdogg]

Bloomberg just said, more people could have been hurt if it weren't for the act of heroism from the police officers who shot and killed the suspect.

So let me get this straight, if it weren't for an individual with a gun, in this case police officers, there could have been more casualties? DUH!! If people were allowed to carry there he probably would have been dropped before he got away!

Also, Bloomberg also stated that the wounded innocents may have been shot by police during the exchange with the perp. Can you say lawsuit? Doesn't look like police "special training" mskes them any more qualified to carry than anyone else. I am not saying I am a great shot, but do you just randomly shoot with civilians in the way?

The guy killed his co-worker, then was on flee from the scene, with his gun put away. As the police approach him, he pulls out his gun, and a gun battle ensues. I am not going to act like I could have done any better, but there had to be a better way to approach him, by surprise maybe, to prevent anyone else from being shot.

An awful lot of douches too.

Funny thing is in the end, Bloomberg states MWAG saves the day, cop or not!

Of course Bloomberg used his position and national news coverage to speak to the epidemic of gun violence. What a shocker. Listening to him makes my head hurt. NY is the sheep capital of the US.

I'd be amazed if we didn't see a major push for new gun legislation after the election.

my sister is already all over it. Ban guns. Guns are bad. people with guns are bad. People who like guns are bad. It's just relentless with her.

Hope she never has a day where she wishes she had had a gun!

So what you're saying is that the shooting victims at the scene could have possibly not been shot by the bad guy but gotten shot by the cops?

Just trying to understand, haven't scene or heard any of the coverage.

 

[coltaceguy]

They just admitted the POLICE shot more civilians than the gunman.


Bloomberg is a moron

That's exactly what they're saying.
The talking heads are also vomiting,
Remember boys and girls, if you see something, SAY SOMETHING!

 

[thumperdogg]

Correct, this came straight from the mouth of Bloomberg himself!!

So from what I gather, the shooter killed his intended victim at close range with a couple shots in what seems to be a workplace/revenge type deal. Then walked off until someone following him got some cops attention standing guard at a building nearby.

According to Bloomberg's press conference the perp then pulled out a .45, pointed it at the cops and the cops dropped him. Bloomberg specifically said 3 separate times that they don't think he even got a shot off at the cops, but could clearly be seen aiming at them.

10 people hurt or dead including the perp. Sooo. 8 innocent people shot by cops stray bullets/ricochets? Excellent target acquisition training.

Spray and pray!

Someone said "45 cal handgun"

The suspect did in fact have a 45 caliber handgun according to the new conference. which holds 7-8 says Bloomberg its funny doesn't he want to limit the magazine capacity to 10? It appears that idea works just as good as a shooting in a city that is strict on guns.

If that's the case, then we should ban police. For the children.
Seriously, it's funny how Bloomberg is adamant that police should have guns because they are trained.

 

[thumperdogg]

Another thing about this story is the coverage!! Fox especially! Until you know what happened, only state facts, not your opinion!! I heard Fox say it all today...

It was a robbery
The guy got fired today and came back
The guy got fired yesterday and came back
The guy was a security guard at the Empire State Building

The list goes on and on and on. Shut your mouth and state the facts!!

Bloomberg Confirms: One Dead, Bystanders Accidentally Shot By Police In Workplace Shooting

 

[thumperdogg]

They had been reporting 2 dead for a while in the beginning, then said it was unconfirmed. Bloomberg said 1 dead and others will be just fine. I will be very suspicious if a 2nd ends up dead. Imagine the nightmare a civilian shot and killed in the crossfire by police!

 

[pirate]

2 dead including the perp.
