MEDFORD, N.Y. (AP) -- A gunman shot four people inside a pharmacy in a New York suburb Sunday morning, killing everyone inside the store in what police said looked like a robbery gone wrong.
The massacre happened at about 10:20 a.m. inside a family-owned pharmacy in a small cluster of medical offices in Medford, a middle-class hamlet on Long Island about 60 miles east of New York City.

So much for those gun laws in New York.
It’s Long Island, and firearms are less demonized out there compared to NYC. But it doesn’t change the fact that firearms laws caused this shooting, as we know. It’s always the intent in a human heart and mind.
Aw man, I meant NOT firearms laws.
Oxycontin.
Could have been some jerk from the city looking for Oxycontin/codeine stuff.
When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
gun free zone = target rich ennvironment
Does a robbery ever go right?
Perhaps when the intended victim kills the perp...but not in New York...

even his picture!
this guy’s going down verrrrrrrry soon.
Oh, he's white. That's why they printed it.Police said the male suspect, who is still at large, allegedly stole prescription drugs from the store. He is described by authorities as a white man with a thin build, approximatley 5 feet 8 inches tall, and was either unshaven or had a dark beard and mustache and short dark hair. The suspect was wearing a white baseball hat, sunglasses, a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, dark shoes and was carrying a black backpack. The suspect fled on foot eastbound on Southaven Avenue.
We all know what that means !
Oops ...I didn’t read the posts to the end ...He is white .
LOL ...I used to live on LI ...Now in Japan ...First thing I notice when I go home for a visit ( which ain’t often ) is the police state . Cops everywhere you look : state , county , town , sherrifs , etc...Every 10th car is a cop car ! Yet , they can’t get there in time in a case like this ?

I’ve been living on Long Island for most of my 60 years on this planet, and I can assure you that the police here are as useful as nipples on a bull. Forget 911. You can probably get them to respond to a problem quicker if you mail them a letter. What’s worse, is that they are the highest paid cops in the country, making well over six figures on average. For that kind of money, they should assume some risk. They don’t. They hardly ever respond to ANYTHING unless they have two or three sector cars join them. More times than not, they send a female cop, as the entire department seems to have become a social experiment of sorts. I’ve learned not to rely on them.
This is what I figured . I lived out on the east end before coming to Japan in 1985 . Cops were very good at stuff like harrassing kids for setting off fireworks , or giving tickets to people for not making a complete stop at a country stop sign on a lonely midnight road ...Must be a better word than useless ...LOL ...
