On the tv now. Apparently the shooting was at a Public Storage facility on the south side.
FOX News is reporting that the gunman
has been apprehended now.
The real crux of the issue is that very point. The people pushing for gun control know this too and they realize that for them (the criminals) to be in control, they must therefore disarm us (the citizens).
Mercifully there have been no deaths, and I'll pray there are none. (Unless the homicidal gunman is one of the above five, of course.)
Well, this guy obviously didn't get the memo.
Perhaps they should pass a law making it illegal for someone to take a gun and shoot another person. Oh, wait, they already have that law. Oh well, I guess the only answer is to confiscate all the legally owned guns. I'm sure THAT will stop the criminals.
Man opens fire at South Side business
Suspect holds police at bayAugust 27, 2003 — A disgruntled worker opened fire at a South Side warehouse. Six people--including the gunman-- were shot. One victim has died. Two others are in critical condition, and the conditions of the other victims are unknown at this time.
