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.

To say nothing of the mindless argument that law-abiding citizens need to be disarmed because the likes of this can’t be trusted not to chimp out at a moments notice.

Large and in charge. Come to think about it, I need to find a mover. Somebody did somebody wrong, for sure.
