I don't know what to say anymore everytime we get a thread like this about the US gun problems

God, it’s so fucking common place and you still have these idiots saying guns don’t kill people.

Possible we can update the thread title to specify UNC - Charlotte? People assume Chapel Hill by default, not to mention the different city (and is pretty far from Charlotte).

My first thought seeing this thread was "again?"

These feel like literally everyday things at this point.

This just adds to the growing number of gun deaths in Charlotte this year. It has already topped the total for last year.

We've become so desensitized to this that it makes me so incredibly sad that this happens almost daily.

make sure you spend time with your loved ones. Might be you tomorrow since nothing is being done about anything in this shithole country.

Goddamn these stories have started making me more emotional. My kid just had his preschool graduation the other day. Their teacher was going over some of the things they learned and she mentioned that they’ve gotten better at playing hide and go seek...she clarified that this is actually active shooter training. Goddamit.

Local news is naming suspect. I'd wait until.the upcoming news conference see if they want to officially name him though.

Money corrupts everything. It keeps shitty sites like 8chan alive, "tricks" higher ups into investigating scapegoats rather than actual issues, and feeds the "belief" that people, and not guns, cause violence. The last two happen because of gun lobbyists. Until they lose control over the higher ups, they will continue spinning everyone around in circles.

Just had a local shot of the suspect going into jail. Looked to be smirking at the camera or someone who asked a question. Pretty sick.

we had active shooter training at my work the other week. Run hide fight as others here have said. This has gone too far, but nothing will happen.

Terrible news. My best friend and his girlfriend go to school there, it's about an hour and a half away from where I live. I just spoke to them and luckily they left campus 2 hours before it happened but they aren't sure if they knew anyone involved.

Looks like he was expecting to kill many at that concert if those attending were his intended targets. R.I.P to the two that died.
