OH, I will pray! This is so tragic that I can't get my mind around it.
So senseless. So horrific.
Thank you for the update. Prayers for all involved.

Of course not. They were only women, after all. :( They were only white, straight women, after all.

Has anyone ever head of a person on a rage entering a gathering of really evil, greedy people and shooting them? Well, maybe a bunch of drug dealers shoot other drug dealers, but other than that it seems to be the innocent who get shot. You never hear of a bunch of wall street types in a big meeting getting shot. Or, a bunch of criminal trial lawyers (ambiguity intended) getting wiped out. Am NOT advocating such...just wondering why it never happens.
Actually, whoever did this is going to turn this loose on all of us. What a selfish, worthless person. Rahm is already thinking, "Don't let a crisis go to waste."

“Good” news; press conference by Allegheny County Police Dept Choef, Charles Mofitt. Three women confirmed dead; plus the perp. Down grading the fatlity count.
Supt. Moffit said they are running every plate in parking lot; to help Identify victims and next of kin.

Well, it's a little better, I guess.
Continued prayers for swiftness in notifying the families, for comfort for the grieving, and healing for the wounded.

"Well, Ill tell you what...THAT NEVER HAPPENED IN MY DAY!" Charles Whitman, Austin Texas 1966. It's a name I'll never forget Chet Huntley, on that night's news cast, proclaiming as the man who killed 14 and wounded over 30 from the clocktower at the University of TX. It's my first memory of a "spree killing".
It happened back in the day, but it just didn't happen as often.

Oh G-d...more horrific news, the Latin Impact class instructor, Mary, was pregnant, and this was to be her last class before delivery. No update or knowledge of her status.

Posted PA Mom.
I think the ‘confirmed’ fatalities are going to turn out to be more than three. Room packed with 70 people?

A guy who doesn’t get the time of day from women, maybe. Man can only take so much rejection before he snaps like a twig... especially in the entitlement culture.
To: ReneeLynn
I’m wondering if this guy had night vision goggles when he was shooting. For “random shots” he sure hit a lot of people.
To: PennsylvaniaMom
oh no - Mary is one of the deceased

Not according to a woman who ran out. She said, short guy, 30-ish, light hair or no hair. Nothing about goggles.
Where are you all hearing that Mary is dead?

Mary confirmed dead. No mention of her baby. Horrific doesn’t cover this. No I.d. Yet on shooter; just that he drove a silver Nissan.
