US President Donald Trump had been briefed on Sunday on the deadly mass shooting which occurred at a festival marketplace in Floridas Jacksonville, the White House said.
The President has been briefed and we are monitoring the situation in Jacksonville, FL, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement.
Earlier in the day, the city's police said that a mass shooting occurred at the Jacksonville Landing. The local News4Jax media outlet reported, citing sources, that at least four people have died in the incident, while 11 were injured.
The police later confirmed that the incident resulted in many fatalities and said that the suspected shooter had died at the scene.
The common denominator is not the gun but the people.
Sorry, I don’t believe this happened.
Rick Scott enacted common sense gun control after the last Florida mass shooting, so we are all safe and full of common sense.
maybe the Trump needs to make executive order that the fed govt will not help or reimburse any costs of incidents that happen in gun free areas? states and or federal places that want toallow gun free zones are just inviting more sorts of crimes.
Really interested to find out who got the shooter. Florida is a big CCW state.
The shooter killed himself. The Landing is a gun-free zone.
Of course it is. Back during the 1950s gun laws were lax but you didn’t have gun massacres
GUN FREE ZONE
“Possession of a weapon, even if legally carried (except by law enforcement officers) is absolutely prohibited on Landing property.”
So I guess the shooter was a cop?
What’s the federal aspect to this? Why does the president need to get a briefing on some local asshattery?
Yep.
After Parkland, they passed waiting periods, banned bump stocks, increased the rifle purchase age to 21....
Wasn’t all that supposed to prevent any more shootings?!
If that is the case, do you think that the enemedia would actually report it?
Yep.
We’re good.
This story is a literal impossibility.
Must have occurred in some other dimension that lacks common sense gun control.

Primary in Florida is Tuesday. Was this a “political shooting?”
Dateline: tomorrow?
We live on a spinning globe with time zones. Some people are already experiencing the 27th.
O...K...
It’s the old Goldilocks/Three Bears strategy of criticism avoidance:
1) “Trump encourages murderers by giving them 15 minutes of fame.” Too hot.
2) “Trump doesn’t care about the children.” Too cold.
3) “Trump briefed on shooting.” Ahhh. Just right.
