There's probably more to this story.

Absolutely.
Sounds like the Sharks and the Jets went shopping at Toys R Us instead of meeting under the highway for their rumble.

Good shooting on the part of both participants. At least they didn’t take anyone else with them.

I'm sure there is more to this story. I have to ask the obvious question. Who would carry an unloaded gun anywhere and keep it concealed? An unloaded gun is as useless as an empty firetruck.
the question should have been, “why did criminals take guns to a toy store?”

Palm Desert? Palm Desert is a fairly ritzy retirement and winter resort town. The average age must be pushing 70. That’s about the last place I’d ever worry about getting shot.

Two less gang members for the police to worry about.
That’s the only good thing I can find to say about this.

Weird story, but a happy ending. This is exactly why Ca. needs CCW.

Guess they shouldn’t have watched “Jingle All the Way” before they went shopping.

There was probably conflict between these people before they got to the store. My concern is that we are now going to be bombarded with sensational coverage of shootings.
Now that Obama is in charge the media will help create the climate to implement additional restrictions on firearms ownership.
Lord help us if either of the deceased held a carry permit.

Just another ho-hum story in modern America. It’s tragic that no one is outraged by this increasing phenomenon of
radom murder.
Murderer is excused but capitol punishment is evil.

From the SacBee:
City spokeswoman Sheila Gilligan said police told her the shooting broke out between "two groups of individuals that have a dispute with each other."
and
The victims were identified as Alejandro Moreno, 39, of Desert Hot Springs, and Juan Meza, 28, of Cathedral City.

Memo to myself: never ever fight over a toy even if I had my hands on it first.
