Happened almost a week ago and the first I head of it. None were seriously injured so they must have been hit by flying glass or such. Perhaps bird shot from a shotgun at longer range?

Still just due to the number of kids I’m surprised it hasn’t made more news.

LOL. A crap editor that will hopefully get replaced at some point by a machine.

In other news someone shot the rear quarter panel window out of may CX-30 as I was driving on Loop-8 yesterday. The HPD were like, “Oh well, since they missed you nothing we can do.”

Nine *youths*?

Then they include a 5 year old girl as if the whole bunch of them were little kids.

I find it interesting how flexible the definition of *children* is depending on the narrative being pushed at the moment.

All of these mass shootings are being caused by the democrat Dung Beetles’ push to disarm the American people. That’s all they are. It is a little weird that the numbers of mass shootings skyrocketed as soon as the Dung Beetles grabbed control of the U.S. Government and all of the major institutions in the country.

Seriously. It was a 25 or maybe 22 bullet stuck in the glass.

I think it was somebody shoot at targets near the freeway. I don’t think they were actively shooting at me.

Yes, but...did Chief Blackmon catch the young man who was responsible for this yet?

I think we need to have permits and universal background checks for parties.
