So sorry to hear this, sympathies to his family and friends, and the others who were killed.
 
Waiting for the usual 'thoughts and prayers' from a VIP out east.
 
Also, FWIW, sounds like this shooter was neither Muslim nor an illegal immigrant. Just a **** off about-to-be-ex employee. But give the Right-wing sites a couple of days, they'll find or drum up 'evidence' that he was one or both.

@bwiser :
I've seen it done before where a white Christian US citizen mass killer was labeled a Muslim terrorist who 'may' have had ties with ISIS. Of course, I see posts to Radical Right sites on my FB page. And of course, the content details 'interviews' with anonymous sources who cannot be named. (But all major news sources usually say that)

Today in the world we live many people have problems. Some this is the way to deal with it. It has become a norm to hear of things like this man going to ex-employer and killing people. He took lives of others loved ones. Just like what happened here will go one and get worse as time goes on.

I've already seen a lot of right wingers use the shooting to further their pro-NRA beliefs...
"See! Gun laws don't work so stop trying to take our guns!"
 
They are correct that some gun laws don't work. But no one is trying to take their guns. They are trying to take guns from bad people.

Pretty sure the guy is black based on the picture of him from his Facebook page.

@EyeintheSky : I'm confused. Dennis never said he wasn't black. He said he wasn't Muslim nor an illegal immigrant.

@Patrick710 : No they're not they are doing nothing and this is a prime example. After he bought a gun the flag went up REALLY. That's pretty freak incompetent of them. He was out for how many years and they never put it in the system he was a felon.

Dennis said the shooter wasn't a Muslim or an illegal immigrant.

@EyeintheSky : State to state is some times hard to get info. What I don't understand he had the gun since 2014. Looks like they failed to go and take it from him.

@Patrick710 : "Pretty sure the guy is black". Wasn't crazy white dude MAGA hat wearer. Watch how fast this will vanish from the news cycle since it won't fit the agenda of hate white men.
