I'm betting maybe not a real gun or a .22 or something, the kid who got shot drove to the hospital?

 

Still a lot of bullshit out there now it seems.

The Taliban killed at least 41 policemen and soldiers after overrunning two police outposts in the western province of Farah on May 10. Security in Farah province has steadily degraded after NATO turned over control of security to Afghan forces in 2014.

Currently there's an active shooter in Santa Fe high school, Galveston county Texas. Initial reports are he was armed with a shotgun. No more yet. Stay tuned. 

 

Boy this keeps happening. It's almost like all the media coverage tells sad fucked up crazies that schools are super soft targets

What is it with schools, of all places, being shot up anyway? Why not bottling factories built in the late 70's?

Cnn is reporting "multiple fatalities" and possibly 2 shooters.

Pipe bombs and shit were also found apparently? 

 

Details are sketch. As always, wait 3 days before we know everything well enough.

• The weapon Pagourtzis used was described as a shotgun by witnesses, but police have not confirmed that.
• Law enforcement says a pressure cooker with an explosive device was found at the scene.
• A Facebook page under the same name as Pagourtzis, has been taken down.

A week ago in Chechnya:

Gunmen Attack Church in Russia’s Chechnya Region, Killing 3

Quote

   Four gunmen stormed a church in Russia’s predominantly Muslim region of Chechnya on Saturday, killing at least one churchgoer and two police officers, according to authorities.

   All the attackers were killed in an exchange of gunfire with the police at the Archangel Michael Church in the center of Grozny, the capital, according to the Investigative Committee of Russia, an internal security agency.

   The gunmen initially took hostages, the leader of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, said, adding that the assailants were armed with knives, hatchets and homemade explosives as well.

Can't manage to embed it. It is a video of the parkland shooter planning his attack. I think it is pretty easy to see what motivates school shooters.

Suspect it will prove otherwise, but you never know.....A bunch of reactivated MAC-10s & Skorpions surfaced not so long ago.

Probably anything capable of full auto fire. That's what counts here in the states.

[Xlucine]

Could be a garage-made sten (or similar)

So anything from SMGs, automatic pistols, assault rifles, HMGs?

Yup. There are more examples of machine guns than not machine guns.
