Couldn't have happened at a worse time nor place. Prayers for the vitims and their families

How very convenient for the anti-gun crowd. Is it still coincidence if it happens on a regular basis? Man, I hope I have enough tin foil in the stockpile. . .

Must be something in the Koolaid.

Update: It seems possible (or likely) that some of the shooting victims we hit by gunfire from the police...

Gunman Jeffrey Johnson, 53, killed one person before he was shot to death outside the busy tourist destination just after 9 a.m., Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said. The victim was Johnson's former coworker at Hazan Imports, where Johnson was a designer of women's accessories.
At least nine others were wounded in the exchange of gunfire outside the Empire State Building, Kelly said.
"Some may have been accidentally shot by police officers," Kelly said.

If the police did most of the injuries with their shooting then they forgot about the safety rules of knowing what is behind your target or they are poor shots. How very sad for the victims and thir families.

How could this happen in Bloomberg's Gun Control paradise?




Politics aside, prayers for the victims and their families.

Just another incident bloomberg will blame on guns yet in his own backyard it proves even his own trespasses on the constitution will not stop those willing to commit crimes no matter what laws are written.

He'll just blame it on other states that don't have laws as bad as his...he will be sending his henchmen out to harass whatever store this gun originally came from and sue them out of business. No matter how many times the gun has changed hands since then. That's how he works. Bloom is a criminal.

They're saying it's the 3rd mass shooting this summer... So now one guy shoots a fmr co-worker and police end up shooting him (and hitting 8 more???) it's a mass shooting? WTF?

"Police returned fire, killing the shooter and wounding several bystanders, all of whom were expected to survive, Mayor Michael Bloomberg told a news conference."


yeah wow..

If banning guns in NY is so successful then NYPD should give up their guns and do as the British do.
