A shooting in Kansas City

Pond, James Pond · April 14, 2014, 03:17 AM

I did a quick search and saw no posts so far.

I saw the report on the BBC. It seems there has a been a shooting at a Jwesih Community Campus (not sure if this has an academic meaning in this context, so I don't know if there were any firearm restrictions applied there).

Apparently, a man armed with a shotgun opened fire first in one locale (the carpark of the campus) followed by a third victim in a nearby retirement home.

A man has been arrested, so it seems no shooter-suicide on this occasion.

Firstly, the religious nature of the scene might suggest a religious motivation for the attack and indeed the arrested man (white, 70s) seems to have shouted pro-nazi phrases from the police car.

Contrary to the above though, two of the victims were grandfather and grandson, both of the christian faith.

Pretty horrible and senseless and another community that will have to heal from wounds.

News story so far.

The report I heard said he was a "former Klansman." I have no idea whether that is reliable info.

I'm not sure what this contributes to TFL. Another shooting by a nut? That there are bigots in the world? If I were there, I would .... ?

Unless something surfaces that would be of more meaningful interest, I'm closing this. If you come up with something, PM me.
