They will try I reckon. But I don’t think they should go there...

This is so sad. I haven’t seen much on TV about this. Shep Smith (Blech) had a snippet about it but not many details.
I hope this isn’t going to lead to copycats...praying for those affected.

Samson and Geneva, where this took place, is down by the Alabama/Florida (panhandle) border, South of Fort Rucker and West of Dothan.
To: chasio649
We have lots of family in the general area, but on the other side of Dothan. About 75 miles northeast and I would be making a lot of phone calls to check on folks.
Prayers for the families.

1) Anti-2nd Amendment camp pray it was a semi-auto, high-capacity anything...will be orgasmic if it was 'black semi-auto assault rifle' AKA a machine-gun.
2)Race-baiters will hope it was a 'hate-Obama' white-on-black massacre.

I am less than 15 miles from Samson or Geneva. Just not something we expect to happen here.

Yes, and the gunman always dies, too.

Geneva barely has a Wal-Mart. Samson is a spot in the road. How sad. Very quiet, sedentary communities.

I would guess the most likely scenario is family trouble. Next would be laid off.

Our spoiled society will increasingly lash out via crime/violence as the economy worsens.
I recommend redneck car armor (e.g. phone books in your door interior panels and .5” Lexan for your car windows).
Being armed yourself isn’t a bad idea, either.

Shot a woman at a gas station, five people in a house, then drove 12 miles to Reliable Metal and shot the rest of his victims there.
It sounds as if he was shooting people that he knew. Why else would he drive 12 miles between shootings? Maybe his family and his business? Maybe he was laid off?

I'm glad you're o.k. and hope nobody you know is involved.
It does sound like family/job trouble. Maybe a layoff, maybe a divorce. I guess more facts will come out.

It’s here.
All I can say.
To: chasio649
With the wretched economic conditions and almost no moral foundation, we'll probably see many more stories like this. How completely useless and sad.
Shooting in Gonzales, TX also....
