Gunfire erupted inside a crowded Home Depot in Chelsea on Sunday afternoon, killing one person and sending droves of shoppers — stocking up for the impending snow storm — fleeing for their lives, law-enforcement sources said. Two people were shot, including the gunman, sources said.

Workplace violence.

Serious.

I’m really surprised that there’s a Home Depot in Manhattan!

I thought they only existed out here in the ‘burbs.

[BobL]

I never did hear that term, but yes, there is a twinge of “Interior Decoration” in those stores. So yes, that does make sense.

[RetiredTexasVet]

The two million people that “exist” there, along with Comrade Mayor, have my sincerest sympathy.

[woodbutcher1963]

So, is it between fifth and sixth ave?

>"they seem to charge EXACTLY the same prices as they do here in Texas"

They damn sure don't pay the same! At least Blows doesn't. Had a damn Yankee move down to La. was gettin 20$+ ph, while most management were at 8.5-10.

They’ve hidden his face in the photo, but no mistaking the dreadlocks, or the wrists and hands.
Don't tel me, lemme guess, another one of those Amish terrorists who was...wait for it...just starting to turn his life around.

It’s not that Home Depot is gay, it’s that gay guys love to renovate houses and flip them. Sometimes they even live in the houses they renovate! That’s where the nickname came from.

geeeee

[Roman_War_Criminal]

We’ve seen this played out before...

[Veto!]

Good one. Looks pretty effective.

Haven’t checked the news for a couple of hours, so don’t know w hat really occurred. Besides two deaths.

[TribalPrincess2U]

That’s a Home Depot? Doesn’t look like the ones I’ve seen.

[Fightin Whitey]

couldn’t find anything

If he weren't an employee I'd be willing to believe he had wandered for days before finally killing to eat.

[SgtHooper]

Just another version of the knock-out game.

[Veto!]

Or maybe this was a lovers' quarrel. Here's pix of Calvin 'Kirk' Esdaile, the perp from Daily Mail:

The victim doesn't look that strange. See all at the Daily Mail, which is always 'way ahead of the rest of the press in these types of cases.

STAY SAFE !!

Saw a few answers but nobody mentioned Eataly, at 24th and Fifth, sort of catty corner from the Flatiron Building, which was once the tallest building in NYC. Eataly has all sorts of Italian food specialty shops inside and all different levels of restaurants.

Sorry about the victim. If the shooter had stopped for a nice sandwich and a glass of wine he might have gone home instead of shooting his boss.

[cycjec]

eh, more Big Boxes on IIRC Sixth Avenue.

All together now - “I love New York!!!”

What happeneds when the lights go our for months and there is no food
