Police officers were dispatched to the Kinloch Volunteer Fire Department in Lower Burrell, Pennsylvania, shortly after 6 p.m. for a shooting inside the fire hall.

"This was not an active shooter event, but rather an isolated family incident during a baby shower," he said. A preliminary investigation showed the incident began as a family argument about gifts at the baby shower. It escalated into a physical fight and then gunfire when the "suspect introduced a nine-millimeter semiautomatic handgun" and fired three shots into the crowd of about 25 friends and family, the chief said.

At the time of the press briefing, their specific injuries were unknown.

I'll have to throw in a set of bagpipes as well.

Maybe when the kid gets older.

“Is it a boy or girl?”

Please,your unwokeness is showing, such harsh terms. The proper term is “They”. We don’t even know if mom and dad, forgive me, the parental unit, has chosen a gender at this point.

As an aside, I regularly check the obits, just to see if my name is listed, and a few times now I have seen the term “They” and “Their” used in an obit. My first thought is holy cow one obit for 2 people but I only see one name.

One sportswriter said that “The crowd in Philadelphia would boo a funeral.” But this baby shower crowd was even worse.

Always more onesies, socks and diapers. Maybe a snow suit and boots. (Ask the baby’s grandma what to get, and what size)

I think maybe a lot of Freepers are just tired of being painted as white supremecists in the Democrat media narrative, and are only pointing out the hypocrisy of the Democrats in the way they hide the race of criminals in news stories where the bad guys are not white.

The “Asians are under attack because of Trump” narrative is but one example. The “white hispanic Zimmerman” narrative is another. These dishonest narratives seem to be coming at us on a daily basis.

But you go right on painting Freepers as the KKK. Join right in with the Democrats. That way you can signal your virtue as morally superior to those nasty white supremacists at Free Republic.

Being the media narrative isn't being tired of it. Blacks are a group too full of criminals to be sure but they aren't criminals because they're black. The victims are probably black too. There are a lot of American innocents of every color. Trump knew this and reached out and not with excuses for the criminals. It was one of the best things he did.

I think it's a bit early to assign roles to it, don't you?

So, it is okay to assume they are Steelers fans just because they live close to Pittsburgh, but racist to assume the ethnicity?

I guess some bigotries are okay...

I said nothing about about Steelers fans. I also said you can’t assume identity from where the crime was committed. What I said was these threads are infested with people who only care about the color of the criminals.

Sorry. Maybe they were Steelers fans. People do get upset around here about that team.
