Broome County Director of Emergency Services Brett Chellis said there is an "active" shooting situation at the American Civic Association, and that several law enforcement agencies are at the scene.

According to the United Way of Broome County Web site, the civic association assists immigrants and refugees with immigration and personal counseling, resettlement, citizenship, family reunification.

Prayers for the police officers.

“What the hell is going on with people.”

The media is chanting to us.

Every single shooting event will be covered so that every day we will be reminded of the need for commonsense, logical, and reasonable firearms safety legislation from Washington.

Rest assured, though, that a hunter’s second amendment right to own a gun for hunting will not now be infringed.

Any politician who uses this incident to push for a suppression our freedoms deserves the same fate as the victims.

You are way too kind. I say bury their head up to their necks in sand and pour honey on it for the local fire ant mound to find.

That would be 15 dead and other injured. The gunman supposedly blocked the rear entrance with his car and entered the front entrance and started shooting. Shutting off gas to the building now.

They will use this to seize all rifles in the hands of law-abiding people, and deliberately leave them in the hands of criminals and murderers.
