New York: Empire State Building Shooting.
Happened this morning (24/08/2012) at around 9am local time. Apparently he was a fired employee who came back to kill his boss. So far 2 confirmed dead and up to 8 injured. News is still developing so its subject to change.

Re: New York: Empire State Building Shooting.
Yeah I also heard he followed his boss for a while before shooting him, then running away a few streets before randomly opening fire. Also guys, some of the pics can be enlarged by clicking on them  |

Re: New York: Empire State Building Shooting.
May times more people are killed by cars, why are cars legal. Drunk drivers kill many times more people why is drinking legal. Maybe it's because we have discovered that you can't change human behavior by passing laws against inanimate objects. When all the news comes out you will probably find that he was an alcoholic or drug addict, which was probably what got him fired, so it was already illegal for him to have a gun anyway. So lets pass another law that they will never enforce and will only hurt law abiding people, smart!!!  |

Re: New York: Empire State Building Shooting.
They should have been restricted to begin with if you want to shrink the number of firearm related crimes. But since a lot of people have them already, making them illegal will only give more power to the people that will use them for crimes. Let's say this guy didn't have a gun, could he have used a bat? A knife? The problem is the guy, not the gun. It was simply the tool he chose to get the job done. I'm for having guns but if I could somehow make ALL of them disappear I would. |
