Illinois has pretty tough gun laws, shootings can’t happen there.
small town about 90 miles from St.L
Bump.
Not a good start to work week’s Hump Day... waiting for details.
Can this possibly be true?
I thought they had guns under control there?
“Demographics
As of the census[3] of 2000, there were 354 people, 136 households, and 99 families residing in the village. The population density was 341.8 people per square mile (131.4/km²). There were 147 housing units at an average density of 141.9 per square mile (54.6/km²). The racial makeup of the village was 100.00% White.”
Sad story. More than 1% of their population killed.
TEA Party I’m sure.
there are not enough details provided to know if it was all locals or not. The report is suspiciously short of details.
I will bet $50 that the shooter did not use an “assault rifle.”
Five dead? Where are the photos of the town on lockdown, and the house to house searches by tactical teams?

>The pastor of Manchester Baptist Church told NewsChannel 5 that the murders happened inside a public housing complex on East Street Wednesday morning.
Sounds like the Amish to me. Section 8 no doubt.
How can that be? I thought they had already gone door-to-door and confiscated guns in the housing projects?
that sounds like drugs to me.
According to Wikipedia: "The racial makeup of the village was 100.00% White."
So this is apparently a dustup in a racist enclave.
The suspect was on the run for about 2 hours this morning. He was caught after a high-speed pursuit. Shots were fired while the suspect was taken into custody. The suspect is being taken to a hospital.
Probably wiki wrong as usual
What makes you think that? There are plenty of white folks living in public housing/section 8.
Illinois needs tougher gun laws! Wait...
