did you know a shooting happened AGAIN today? Sat Dec 29?

supposedly a shooting in Texas occurred today. a man went into a resteraunt to kill his girl friend and the people in the resteraunt fled to a theater next door so the shooter followed them to kill more people. but when he got inside an off duty cop pulled out her gun and shot him 4 times before anyone else was killed. the cop is getting a city metal and it's not going national because a person used a gun to shoot down a gunner. rediculous!!--- oops it was Sunday sorry! and only one person was injured I think!!! I was told the story second hand here's a link! http://houston.culturemap.com/newsdetail/12-17-12-texas-movie-theater-shooting-creates-chaos-and-fear-but-quick-thinking-security-guard-steps-in/

That's Texas. Concealed carry and all off duty officers carry at all times.
The only thing that will stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. But it won't get press, trust me: the media has a story it wants to tell, and that truth will not get in the way of it.

Not much need to be smart. You'd have probably heard it tomorrow. Didn't have to say anything. :/
Report as
No I probably wouldn't have heard it tomorrow, as I try to ignore all things such as that in the news as the world is just too depressing to think about sometimes. Pray forgive me for trying to make light of a serious situation in which thankfully no-one was killed, I apologise rofusely if I hurt anyone's feelings.
Report as
I think we all just need to pray profusely period about what our world is coming to. I have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, so the news is not on in my home ever. Whatever I hear, I hear from others and sometimes I get dangerously depressed. I just don't see any reason to write anything down as a comment that might hurt someone's feelings. But you were kind enough to apologize for that and that takes a big person. I admire you for that. I'm sorry if I seemed harsh, it's just that I've seen so many answers tonight that were just mean (like the world has gotten). Yours wasn't mean. But it's getting late and maybe it's just time to turn in.

Well, that's where the problem starts, I think. When people have guns, even with good intentions. I would suggest not getting a gun. I know a lot of people get them to protect themselves, but most often what ends up happening is someone gets hurt or killed in an accident caused by said gun.
Report as
well I'm well trained so I'm good plus i have a rifle and shotgun in my house.
Report as
I beleive you. The problem is when kids and other people who aren't trained, and who didn't buy the gun get to it. There are so many parents who buy guns and lock them up, but their kid or kid's friend plays with it and ends up dead. I'm worried about things like that happening.
Report as
Everyone should be trained to use firearms, and carry them around, so that they can defend themselves. its common sense.
Report as
if I was old enough I would carry a gun too! good thing my dad does! and sorry I was told second hand. here's a link. http://houston.culturemap.com/newsdetail/12-17-12-texas-movie-theater-shooting-creates-chaos-and-fear-but-quick-thinking-security-guard-steps-in/

same here, it's just ridiculous how people are actually selling them to underage kids
Report as
I know I wish people weren't so stupid!!! no offense but seriously! if you can't keep a gun away from a kid or mental person or angry person then you probably should have a freaking gun!
Report as
exactly, took the words outta my mouth

Slimyweasels has no idea what she is talking about. When it comes to guns there is no such thing as an accident. Someone did something wrong.

Well, no civilians were killed, but it's horrible that civilians have access to assault rifles. I'm so glad nothing happened. Kudos to the cop; they should have guns, not wacko gun nuts.

That is awful. First the Aurora, Colorado shooting at a movie theatre. Next the Clackamas Town Center shooting in Happy Valley, Oregon. Third, the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. and now this. What has this country come to? Do I have to worry about someone coming to my school, Portland Community College in Portland, Oregon, with a gun and start shooting at random and killing people? I try not to think about that happening because if I thought that all the time, I would never leave home for fear of being shot and killed.

You forgot to mention the 400 school age children shot in Chicago this past year (60 died) oh that's right, the media doesn't mention how gun bans have created a murderous city.
Report as
Just imagine if you or others could have protected themselves and others had they not banned guns in all of these places. At least they would have had a chance.

Thanks for posting. I sent a MSG to NBC Nightly news on Facebook and my local station. We need to make them cover it. They cannot be selective in the stories they cover to support this administrations agenda.

So much for not going national...
SAN ANTONIO ? Sheriff's officials say a man opened fire in a San Antonio movie theater parking lot, wounding one person before an officer shot him inside the theater.

Bexar (bayr) County sheriff's spokesman Louis Antu says the incident started about 9:30 p.m. Sunday when the man fired shots inside a nearby restaurant. It's not clear what led to the shooting.

Antu says the man headed toward the theater and shot a male in the lot. The age and condition of the victim wasn't immediately known, but Antu says his injuries did not appear life-threatening.

The gunman entered the theater. Antu says the man fired a shot but struck no one. An off-duty sheriff's deputy working security then shot the gunman.
