Twelve killed after gunman opens fire in California bar

Twelve people including a police officer have been killed after a gunman opened fire inside a country-and-western bar in Thousand Oaks, California.

A sheriff's deputy was killed by the gunman after responding to the shooting at the student-filled Borderline bar and grill.

Authorities said the suspect died inside the bar and was "down with a gunshot wound" when police entered the building.

Ventura County sheriff Geoff Dean said it was "too early to say" if the gunman took his own life.

"We don't know anything about the suspect yet. I have no idea who he is," he said.

It is sad that the kids never had a chance to live because of some deranged person.

"This guy just came out of nowhere and came out with a gun and shot people": (link: https://cnn.it/2Du3xCO) cnn.it/2Du3xCO

What we know about the Thousand Oaks shooting:

- At least 12 dead, including sheriff's deputy

- Suspected gunman also dead

- Multiple injured


[i think cnn may have left out parts where he was middle easterner with beard in trenchcoat.. who may have liked how don lemon demonized white non-people.. given how he decided to target country music bar]

There are 13 dead including the shooter.

The deputy was the deputy was the first cop on the scene arriving in about three minutes. When he entered the bar he was shot numerous times. He was a 29-year veteran and was thinking of retirement within a year. He was a sergeant.

They have identified the shooter but have not released his name yet.

Just after shooting the unarmed security guard the shooter threw a smoke grenade to further confuse his targets.

A girl eyewitness was celebrating her 21st birthday. She is from a military family and her father had taught her what to do in a case like this. She said the shooter knew what he was doing, the proper stance and smooth reload.

Ian David Long - 28 years old.

Glock pistol used.

He was a veteran and may have had PTSD.

So california allowed a mental health patient access to guns. the state cases workers were probably too busy with their transgender sensitivity training.

"if someone had shot him before he shot those other people, this wouldn't have happened"

I am sure some 2nd ammendment folks did their best to shoot him, but in general, nightclubs and synagogues should be secured by IEDs. It is easy to document their effectiveness.

I am sure some 2nd ammendment folks did their best to shoot him in Afghanistan (they are strong on gun rights over there).

An IED app would be perfect. You see a gunman coming so use the app to detonate the IED and save lives.

Nice to see you blaming the 2nd Amendment, even though this particular incident could easily be replicated in a shithole like say Norway.

You can't even blame this on "assault weapons of war" this time. It must be so frustrating for you.

Exploitative news media and heavy population concentrations. A deadly combination.

the IED app has merit... evenly distribute IEDs in all public areas & patriots around the country can monitor all the CCTV footage & set them off as needed

IED sounds like an extremely promising way to keep everyone out of public spaces.

"A troubling incident occurred in April 2018, but the sheriff acknowledged that mental health evaluators did not ask for Ian Long to be taken into custody after it."

Yet again, government and fuzzy studiers fail to notice large red flags.

the midterms are now 3 news cycles ago

midterms -> crazy press conference w/ delusional dictator Trump, where Jim Acosta beat up an intern thus losing his press pass -> Sessions firing/Mueller tampering -> shooting

The only safe space is one completely surrounded and filled with IED's.

"Yet again, government and fuzzy studiers fail to notice large red flags."

There are limitations on what they can do. If he wasn't an immediate threat to himself or others, they can't have him committed.

We distribute assault weapons of war as part of invasion defence.

My actual position would be according to the wording of your constitution. With emphasis on the well-regulated part.
