At least nine people are dead and more than a dozen wounded after someone opened fire in downtown Dayton, Ohio, according to police.

In addition, the suspected shooter was shot and killed by responding officers. Police said they are only aware of one shooter.

Authorities responded quickly to the shooting, first reported at 1 a.m., and said police are regularly present in the crowded district popular with tourists and locals.

Miami Valley Hospital spokesperson Terrea Little told ABC News that they have received 16 victims from the shooting in the Oregon District. She did not provide further information on their injuries. Dayton police confirmed that "at least" 16 people were injured in area hospitals.

"This is a large scene and investigation. Thank you for your patience," Dayton police added in a subsequent tweet.

Two bars in the Oregon District -- Hole in the Wall and Ned Peppers -- wrote on Instagram that their staff was safe.

Kettering Health Network, which operates eight hospitals in the Dayton and Cincinnati areas, said it was treating patients, but offered no specifics.

There is a fourth. On Tuesday, there was a shooting at a Walmart in Southaven, Mississippi. Two people killed. Could that be connected to the three you mentioned, who knows.

#BREAKING: Just talked with a man who says he knew Connor Betts for 20 years. Says they talked about music often, he liked Red Hot Chili Peppers. When asked about Betts behavior, he told me he wouldn’t slander Betts. I need to relisten to interview for more insight. #wlwt @wlwt

You know what’s weird to me this sentence from the article:

“The killer was wearing body armor.
He was shot dead by police in under a minute.”

The Garlic the same thing was said and they kept saying the time was under a minute. and The spokesman said it a few times. At the time I thought it was odd but now I think it is even odder.

One thing that amazes me is that he drove from Allen to El Paso, 600+ miles according to the accounts I’ve heard. That’s at least an 8 hour drive. That leaves a LOT of time to think. How far gone was this shooter to drive that far and committ his crime? None of us here could do that. It is unbelievable that he did that. No rational person would.

“Many moons ago I lived in Bellbrook when it had only 1 traffic light. My home was a custom ranch adjacent to Sugarcreek Reserve - very quiet & peaceful.
It’s a massive traffic jam now, relatively speaking.”

That is bizarre. Many years ago, I also lived next to the Reserve in Bellbrook in a ranch home. I only went to Bellbrook my Junior and Senior year of high school. However, I loved to run through the reserve and check out the two 500 year old trees that were growing in the reserve. Unfortunately, the town has grown like crazy since then.

My house was at the end of Tennyson - just south of Linda. The swim club was one block over from me.

I loved that house - double front doors, large slate foyer, sunken living room. We had a HUGE calico cat that would go hunting at night in the reserve - I named him Zonker. I hate cats but the Z-man was cool. Anyway, if my wife and I were sitting on our back patio, Zonker would inevitably bring back the birds he killed and deposited them at our feet...like his trophies.

Sadly, my wife lost a battle with breast cancer at 28 and, because we chose experimental drugs due to the initial dire prognosis, I was forced to sell the house to pay the uninsured medical costs.

Still, some good memories from that house and time...

From the civilian side it is going on now. DOD declared them more than a year ago.

This seems coordinated. Very tragic.

They define mass shootings differently than it has been in the past, to jack up the numbers. They define it as three or more people shot, regardless of extent of injury or any other qualifiers.

The overwhelming majority are of precisely three people, none of whom die. Drive-bys and family squabbles are equated with the incidences you are thinking of.

From MSNBC:

US gun sales down 6.1 percent in 2018, extending ‘Trump slump’

Jan 30, 2019 - U.S. firearms sales fell 6.1 percent in 2018, according to industry data reported on Tuesday, marking the second straight year of declines and extending the “Trump slump” following the November 2016 election of pro-gun rights President Donald Trump...

Why don’t you people do a little searching before spouting off uninformed opinions.

Dealers explain that people who buy guns out of alarm are not alarmed with Trump as president, so gun purchases have taken a hit.

Now, with today’s news, it will probably pick up again, over alarm at insane terrorist groups like antifa.

I said “different”.

What we see now is what Leftists think a stereotyped Right winger would do. It’s all wrong: targets (random populace), location (generic gun free zone), motive (manifestos listing progressive goals), equipment (AK yet complains about barrel heat).

Actual Right winger, sociopolitically motivated, would attack very differently. Not in a “you ain’t seen nothing yet” way, but very different than “loner shoots up random crowd”. No, I’m not going to make suggestions.

This isn’t about my sanity. This is about predicting what’s next, and refuting those who currently are trying to blame recent mass murders on us.

Not everyone buys out of alarm, not every purchase goes through an FFL, and not everyone buys new guns. All I cited was NICS, with the disclaimer that it included CCW checks. If that’s spouting off, fine. But, it’s not uninformed.

These incidents are making me wonder:

There may be a deep break within the Left: progressives sympathetic to economic & environmental goals, but profoundly concerned about ethnic cleansing. The relentless “white man bad” rhetoric crushes any hope for young socialists who realize their own race and culture is targeted for violent termination by the very sociopolitical dogma they otherwise support.

No, most complaints don’t claim that. Most complaints target the child trafficking, drug smuggling, overall gang infiltration and the drain on our economy through collapsing social safety nets... shit schools, welfare, subsidized housing, healthcare and food stamps. And... when done with all that, the complaint is that they are allowed to vote in local elections in 5 states (given they don’t separate ballots they are also voting in federal elections). I don’t think stealing jobs hits the top 10 with most folks at all.

These are some of the white males that were put on ritalin growing up and after they get to 18 and 21 they buy guns and go to town, unsupervised.

Parents didn’t care to discipline them as teenagers, didn’t show them God, or His way. satan is controlling these minds unfortunately.
