THORNTON, Colo. — A gunman opened fire at a Walmart here on Wednesday evening, striking multiple people, the police said. Two men were confirmed dead, and a woman was taken to the hospital.

It was unclear whether the gunman was among those shot.

The Thornton Police Department confirmed the shooting on Twitter at 6:27 p.m. local time and urged people to stay away from the area. Shortly after 9 p.m., the department tweeted that it was reviewing security footage and interviewing witnesses to get a description of the suspect. No one was in custody, a police spokesman, Matt Barnes, told 9News Denver.

No description usually is a description.

I wonder if the person had been smoking pot and then decided to start shooting people... Just for the fun of it...

That may qualify as the stupidest comment I've ever read on FR.

It’s legal to smoke pot in CO now, which may explain why CO’s crime rate, including murders and rapes, has spiked:

It doesn’t seem “stupid” to me that a drug that lowers inhibitions might have played a part in this cold-blooded murder.

The main reason is probably that legal pot attracts potheads and freaks with disorderly lives.

I’ve lived in CO since 1955. I can guarantee you we had pot here before it was legal. And the Denver Post has credibility several notches below the New York Slimes.

To the extent it’s true, it has more to do with the morons who run Denver and Aurora. It’s why Denver PD rank-and-file cops just voted no confidence in their corrupt chief.
