Rooftop shooter, huh?

Next, they will be after scoped bolt-action rifles.

The odds are that they will. RINO’s to the max.

Didn’t sound like a bolt-action from the video. I’ve seen reports that they recovered “a rifle” but didn’t hear what.

I just saw a vid of the event, it definitely was not a bolt action. I’d guess the good old AR-15.

Boy the powers that be REALLY want our AR’s.

(turning a civic display of patriotism)

Guess we’ll have to wait and see if he has AntiFa links and/or upset about recent SC rulings.

Thanks for putting this shooting back in the "Breaking News" column. We now have THREE threads of the massacre now running at once.

Great Work, Moderator !

Two of three recent “mass shootings” in Democrat strongholds. That’s not a coincidence, that’s a statistic.

Next they will propose an altimeter lock to disable firearms taken higher too rapidly.

Yup. Will be fun to find out which “retired” FBI agent this person was handled by.

These incidents are inversely correlated to society's application of capital punishment in a timely manner.

In a sane world, the killer would be apprehended, tried, sentenced to death, and executed, all before Labor Day.

That's more time than he gave his victims.

Considering it would be one of the most useful for the purpose.

Good thing he didn’t use a suppressor the body count could have been much higher.

I am betting left wing nut job.

I remember all the concern that some supposed right winger would shoot up a pride parade, but that never happened, yet someone shoots up a Fourth of July parade. It doesn’t pass the sniff test

"..and that a rifle was recovered from the scene."

Convenient evidence.

What person would leave rifle behind?

Claiming white shooter.
