(CNN)Nine people are dead after shootings in south-central Missouri, the Houston Herald newspaper in Missouri reported Friday morning, citing a sheriff there.

There are multiple crime scenes, including four in the Texas County community of Tyrone, county Sheriff James Sigman told the Herald.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol is expected to hold a news conference about the deaths at about 9 a.m. CT (10 a.m. ET) Friday, CNN affiliate KYTV reported.

Tyrone is about 135 miles (84 kilometers) southwest of St. Louis.

It never ceases to shock me as to what are journalists write:

Nine persons are dead — including one of natural cases

Then later in the article:

Lawmen later went to another residence, where they found an elderly woman who apparently had died of natural cases.

So it wasn't just a case of spellcheck not catching a misspelling, because cases is spelled correctly. Though as I'm sure everyone here knows that is the wrong word to be used. The cause (clue to reporter, it's natural causes) is laid clearly at the feet of our education system. An education system where educators keep demanding more pay and less oversight of the job the perform. Far too many educators are not worth a third of what they are paid. I realize this is off topic, however, it annoys me to see such incompetence within our press.

Heavy drug users don’t hold jobs but still need money for drugs. I’ve seen the same to a lesser extent with things like alcohol or cigarettes.

Homeland Security sees it to be their job to protect Hollywood’s copyright. They raid stores for illicit NFL panties.

Why not call for an end of the WOC?

I share your disgust with the spelling on TV, etc. The ‘ticker’ which runs below the news on all stations is a particular irritant to me.

I chronically call the 3 local affiliate stations in Reno to tell them they have spelling errors or even worse. Last week, the noun was missing from their short blurb. They also seem to think that they need to use as few characters as possible in saying what they want to say.

I often wonder just how much $$$is being paid to those who create the ticker. When I do call, I don’t get much of a response.

These are more of the people who won’t & do not need to survive the coming war here 9in the USA. They are useless.

How about we just allow the citizen to buy and use whatever drug they want and allow anyone to produce/sell whatever drug the buyer wants?

Willing Buyer/Willing Seller = cheaper drugs.

Cheaper drugs & legalization = removal of drug user need to steal to feed habit.

Drug users unable to control their habit will overdose = drug user population will plummet.

Removal of WOD AGencies/”Drug Warriors” = no more civil forfeiture abuses.

“Let’s have a WOC. War on Crime.”

*****

We’ve gotten to a point that no one can live their lives for a single day without violating some law because there are so many on the books. Criminalization of everything is a means by which the government can arbitrarily pick those it wants to prosecute for political or other reasons.

Ever notice how the news readers are speaking in "headlines"? They aren't willing or able to form a complete sentence.

ABC is the worst.

So what is the appropriate action to take? Legalize all drug usage? I'm not saying you are wrong, I am just asking what you believe the correct solution to be.

Freedoms being lost can be attributed to governments at all levels, but blame also lays at the feet of people inhabiting & visiting America. For to have freedoms requires that the citizens place limitations upon themselves. When they don't, a percentage of people will demand something be done, which is where governments come into play.

To just make an activity legal, in no way makes our freedoms greater. Indeed our freedom to move about freely in our own neighborhood may be impacted by increased criminal activity spawned to engage financially in said legal activity. I wonder how many people commit crimes to afford the outrageous prices of cigarettes, for example. It seems I have read of cases where clerks were shot in convenience stores, and items taken were cigarettes, and alcohol.

Hopefully you can offer up the solution that satisfies all, while not infringing upon the freedoms of any. Hint: it's impossible, at least I believe it to be. That is, without people themselves being their own policemen. However, I am always open to hearing from everyone.

I agree 100%.

When prosecution is arbitrary, we no longer have a nation of laws, we have a dictatorship. We are at the mercy of whoever has the authority to make the decision to prosecute or not.

This goes for small, petty issues, as well. Want to build on your property? Do you have a good relationship with the building inspector? With the guy who issues building permits? With everyone else involved in that process? You better, or they will make your life a living hell, and jack up the costs beyond belief.

“To just make an activity legal, in no way makes our freedoms greater.”

Any time you take away government power, you are more free. No exceptions. No you won’t eliminate crime caused by people seeking money to buy drugs, but those crimes are already occurring. Will they occur more often if drugs are legalized? Colorado would suggest not.

To paraphrase Ben Franklin: Those who would trade liberty for security deserve, and will get, neither.

Au contraire.

With an increase in homelessness comes increases in crime, welfare and other social ills.

Why would we need prescriptions then? People could just buy all the antibiotics they want. Prescribe their own meds. It will be perfect.

Years ago I went to Tennessee through the hillbilly country of the Ozarks.
East through Arkansas I found nice homes, retirement areas, nice farms and a decent economy. Very little poverty.
On the way back I came through Southern Missouri. talk about POVERTY ROW! It was interesting to notice how backwoodsy and remote Missouri was.

I remember a LIFE magazine article from the late 1950s on the remoteness of the Missouri Ozarks.

This killing seems similar to the Ronald Gene Simmons murders in Dover Arkansas years ago.

Sounds more like a domestic squabble where the perp (apparently dead by suicide) retaliates against family or family-in-law.

How did he retaliate if he was dead by suicide?
