Military police are investigating a double-shooting today at the Fort Lewis after a man fatally shot a woman inside the base's main post exchange and then shot himself.
The shooting happened at about 11:20 a.m.
Preliminary indications are that there are two victims, and they have been evacuated to Madigan Army Medical Center, according to the press release. http://www.kirotv.com/news/20144615/detail.html

Guess we’ll have to wait. Bad game of “I love you ‘cause your husband is TDY”?
WA ping?
Pingaroonie...
Amish running amok again?
PX—that’s the on-base QuickieMart...?
Well...the person they get rid of in these shootings is often replaced by someone just as bad or worse. It solves absolutely nothing. You shoot Kennedy, you get Johnson. You shoot Martin Luther King and you get Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, etc., etc. ad nauseum.
Forgot to shoot himself first. BTW, in other shootings, quite often the targeted individual is replaced by someone just as bad or worse (employee shoots boss type of incidents). It solves nothing.
Let me be the first to conjecture -
Muslim, probably an “American”, probably a prison convert,
shoots US military members in the name of Allah.
How long do you give Schumer to use this politically, given his statements today on national reciprocity?
Post Exchange... and the one at Fort Lewis is freakin' enormous. Like a Walmart Supercenter.
As they say, what goes TDY, stays TDY.
Not so likely in this case. It was a murder-suicide. Man shot a woman in the store, killing her, turned the gun on himself. They're still working on him at Madigan Army Hospital.
Looks like a somewhat more ordinary marriage-gone-very-wrong sort of story.
But with higher quality goods...
Evidently, not always. Just like Vegas...
In my day, a tour in the ROK was considered a TDY assignment...Temporarily Divorced (for a) Year.
I believe the D.C. Sniper Mohammed was stationed there.
I just barely dodged a remote to Mount Virgin Italy. That was back in the late 80s. My first wife threatened a divorce over that. Wish I’d gone now. It would have saved me a lot of grief.
