Four Dead in Altoona, PA Shooting
Pundit Press ^ | 12/21/12 | Aurelius

Posted on 12/21/2012 10:26:17 AM PST by therightliveswithus

Four people, including the gunman, are dead today after a shooting that took place in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Three state troopers are also wounded.

The suspect, who has yet to be identified, shot at people "randomly." He had killed three people before being confronted by troopers.

During the confrontation, one officer was shot and two others were injured. The police were then able to shoot and kill the suspect.

The trooper who was shot is expected to survive; the ammunition used by the gunman did not breach the officer's bulletproof vest.

Other than the suspect, two men were killed and one woman. Their identities have not been released.

“...During the confrontation, one officer was shot and two others were injured”

I guess being shot is not injurious......

Modern mainstream media journalists are collectivist morons, by and large.

Maybe they didn’t want it reported they were injured by tripped on their shoelaces or some such?

I’m going to turn into a conspiracy nut if this continues.

Obama/Holder has activated these assholes to further their gun grabbing agenda.

Cause a crisis, then don’t let it go to waste.

So it is apparent that the state-run media is targeting the 2nd Amendment for His Majesty’s second four-year reign.

Just as they shoved the daily body count of the Iraq war in our faces every night on the evening news during Bush’s presidency (and went oddly silent on the body count even though 2/3s of all deaths and casualties occurred under Obammie the Commie’s first four year reign) so we are going to have every single shooting in the country reported as breaking news and shoved in our faces every day until we all say, ENOUGH, TAKE OUR DAMN GUNS JUST LEAVE US ALONE.

EFF EVERY EFFING ONE OF THEM.

300,000,000 firearms in the US today hurt no one.
They only glorify the bad news to push their statist, communist agenda.

In case anyone missed it, eff these tyrants.

Then, make sure the perp either offs himself or gets offed. Can't have any post-attack talking going on...

Ok, the other injuries were caused by flying glass when the shooter fired at the cop car and from a crash.

According to the FBI, mass murder is defined as four or more murders occurring during a particular event with no cooling-off period between the murders.
