After all the news on Fort Hood yesterday, news is breaking about another shooting, this time in an Orlando office building. Apparently at least 8 people have been shot and more victims are expected. BNO has the earliest reports I've seen. MSNBC just reported it on their front page, but nothing of substance just yet. What is going on the last couple of days? First Fort Hood, now Orlando, who's next?

Yeah, it's at the Gateway Center, and they've closed off I-4. Good thing I didn't need to go that way today. Eight people dead according to local news, they haven't caught him/her yet, and they're evacuating all surrounding buildings. On an amusing note, every place that's been shot up in the last few months, my mother in law has lived at one point in her life. We think they're looking for her.

quote:WESH 2 reporter Gail Paschall-Brown, who is at the scene on the ground, said that 15 employees came out of the building very distraught. Paschall-Brown spoke with one who said that a former employee came into the office who hadn't worked at the company in over a year.

^^ In her defense she lived in them a million years ago when they weren't lovely. Also I'm talking about Fort Hood and Mt. Erie in Tennessee.

The shooter is apparently still at large. From the live video, looks like they've completely shut down the highways around the building, too

If the shooter is Middle Eastern, it will be a great opportunity for some constructive and well-reasoned dialogue on the future of race in America

It's only obvious that somehow we must outlaw office buildings.

Sounds more interesting than my life is at the moment, I'll take it! The best part is, she's staunchly Catholic, so this'll be fun! Yep, they've closed down I-4, and they just said 2 dead, 6 wounded, and they've released a description, sorta. Blue polo shirt and jeans. That narrows it down. The schools are locked down as well.

Apparently at least 8 people have been shot and more victims are expected. Probably Arizona. The rednecks and the anarchists are demonstrating this week-end in Phoenix. The rednecks usually come heavily armed, as this is an open carry state and they have serious firearms fixations.

Stuff like "IF I HADNT LOST MY JOB, I COULD HAVE BOUGHT BREAD FOR DINNER TONIGHT  " to "I COULD HAVE SAVED MY MOTHER BY PAYING FOR HER OPERATION IF I HADNT LOST MY JOB! "
