    Statistically speaking, it's only a matter of time before an active mass shooter is themselves shot by a completely unrelated mass shooter...

    And even then we won't do anything about gun control.

      The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to construct a situation that experts call "stochastic satiation", where the paths traced by the bullets of all the lone wolves in a given social situation coincidentally only intersect with other lone wolves. The literature is quite dense, but there was a fictionalized documentary on the topic called Equilibrium which may be more approachable.

    One person who was killed was a young girl, WJAR reported

    sadness-abysmal

    wonder if this worthless piece of shit meant to kill a child or if she was just caught in the crossfire. in either case, may this scumbag rot in hell

    The gunman appears to have been targeting members of his own family

    Police are not sure the relationship between the shooter and the victims yet

    Ah fuck. Twitter is saying the shooter was a trans woman. They say that about every mass shooting, but they might be right this time
