"A gunman opened fire inside a building where more than 250 kids and staff were starting a day of summer camp on Monday, setting off a panic that ended with a gunfight with police in Duncanville, Texas."

"Officers shot the attacker, who was later declared dead at a local hospital. Authorities are crediting the fast response by camp staff and police with preventing injuries to anyone else. "


"... man walked into the Fieldhouse's front doors holding a handgun.

There's another report that staff exchanged gunfire with the attacker.

That was false I believe...

Wow 2 minutes for the officers to arrive. Exactly the same time it took for officers to enter the same door as the shooter in the Uvalde shooting.

Only this time they didn't have some bloated coward telling them to wait for more equipment. They were free to do their job. I hope that Uvalde "incident commander" gets life in prison for holding the officers back and letting the kids bleed to death over 90 minutes despite them calling 911 for help the whole time. The next day he was strutting around like a politician smiling and patting poeple on the back. Incompetent cowardly A-hole.

Haven't you heard? The guy that everyone else thought was in charge because, well, HE WAS is now saying that he DIDN'T think he was in charge and therefore not responsible

Texas school police chief says he didn’t think he was in charge during shooting

Pete Arredondo says he intentionally left behind radios before entering school, as two more funerals are held for victims of the attack

I read the story about the 'radios' elsewhere the other day and it did not make any sense to me.

NOTHING about those flip flopping stories makes any sense to me when it comes to those murders.

Heard about this on local radio the other day. Amazing how little attention this story is getting on "mainstream" news outlets.

 

[Stomper]

It's good to FINALLY hear that there are still some strong men around, willing to kill what needs killin'!

Foul on the court! Looks like the refs made a good call!!

When will the mainstream post success stories to get these copycat loons something to think about. By the way, bad mouth these losers for targeting children.

There was a big event in Holland or Norway where a guy killed kids at a camp with a mini-14 not that many years ago. I don't recall if he was arrested or killed. But the more these people are put down before they can achieve their target the better the message. Don't try it.

did we miss this on the news? Why isn't major news across the country like Ulvade?

Why isn't major news across the country like Ulvade?

Because no children were shot and perp was taken down by quick thinking/acting law enforcement! Doesn't fit their narrative!

Well, not exactly. Dead kids = more interest than could have been dead kids. The media's product is eyeballs.
