From your link....

...This is not the first time that Spirit has allegedly harmed his family with firearms.

Media reports indicate that Spirit accidentally shot and killed an 8-year-old son, Kyle, during a hunting trip to Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area near Kenansville, Fla., on Nov. 14, 2001. During a walk through the woods, Spirit pointed out some rust on the muzzle of a gun and it fired, hitting Kyle in the head, officials said. He was sentenced to three years in prison for illegal possession of a firearm. Spirit pleaded guilty in exchange for a minimum sentence just as his trial was about to begin. After that incident, the family moved from Tampa to Bell, according to published reports.


Very sad, indeed.

Nothing but bad news anymore..

Just look who we have leading the country. What do you expect. It will only get worse if things at the top do not change and very fast.

This place is about 20 miles from where I live in Gainesville. I work with a couple of people from that tiny town so I hope its not somebody I might now. That area is very rural and remote.

Bob Beckel said the Dumbos have an October surprise. They’ve unleashed their Zombies to affect the election. The guy couldn’t wait a week?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spree_killer

The definition of Serial Killer and Mass Murderer are in Wikepedia, and about every INTRODUCTION to CRIMINAL JUSTICE TEXTBOOK used in college. My textbooks ares stored now as I haven’t taught in several years, however those terms are what I said they were due to my criminal justice technology teaching experience.

Why didn’t you just look it up on the internet, or are you one of those who have to confront what you do not understand? You can google ‘mass murderer’ or ‘serial killer’...as for ‘spree killer’, that is a more recent term defining their behavior mostly.

A community college library will have used textbooks you can buy to familiarize yourself with those common terms.

That's not what I asked. I asked about Mass Shooting & Serial Killer.

Why didn’t you just look it up on the internet, or are you one of those who have to confront what you do not understand?

Asking for clarification is pretty common on FR, and in life. I suppose the only field it is NOT allowed in is Law Enforcement. You're not used to being questioned, are you Officer?

You can google ‘mass murderer’ or ‘serial killer’.

What I did was Google the terms that you ever-so confidently misdefined. I'll note that your Wikipedia link is for "Spree Killer", while your post 31 addressed "Mass Shooting" & "Serial Killer". I takeoff 10% from my MBA students for citing Wikipedia and another 10 for using an irrelevant search term. You're in C+ territory, and I didn't even deduct for misspelling "Wikipedia" yet.

I went to my university library and the Pearson Higher Ed website (using my professor login). I found no standard definition for "mass shooting" after reviewing three criminal justice texts and several journal articles. The FBI uses the term "mass murder" when 4 or more people are killed in a single episode.

I will ask politely, again. Do you have a source for your definitions?

The term took me by surprise. I am used to seeing “multiple murders” or “multiple shootings” in news accounts. “Mass shootings” not so much.

Why, next thing people will tell me is that the NSA records all of our conversations...

You mention NSA but it sounds more like the CIA's "The Finders" program to take young children, mess with their minds, and turn them into assets who can be triggered later in life as adults.

Why don’t you take your pompous ARSE, who wants to be a critic and shove it....you aren’t fooling anyone clown!

You are a troll who likes to take their leftist position to create chaos. Maybe you should check the FBI website again and learn math...more than three is four.

Wikepedia is your speed and gives what you need, because anything more complicated and you wouldn’t understand it.
Professor of what? Not Criminal Justice for sure.

You Professor?...hahahaha...a 4th grade assistant sounds more like it, because all the Professors I have known already understand the terms, and do not need to ask the question in the first place. Elementary school children know these terms, because the news media uses these terms on a regular basis and they are so common they need no explanation!

Truth comes from many places and you aren’t anyone I would take instruction from, because you are insane...promoting yourself like you are something important with the right to criticize something you know nothing about vs elementary school children who could explain it to you.

If you had Googled, you would have found a correct article explaining both terminologies. I do not owe you an explanation of any kind, however maybe this article may help your lack of knowledge of normal media terms that have been in existence for decades:

All the knowledge you will get from me....
