Should Somalis be allowed to have any weapons, including their hands?

Evans said the shooter had multiple firearms and β€œlarge amounts” of ammunition and shot from multiple positions throughout the home. Numerous responders returned fire, and BCA investigators are still working to piece together all that happened in the fray.

I would venture to say no one cares how the perp died.

We generally care what his or her history is and why the initial silence on the who what and why from the standpoint of the perp.

I’m old enough to remember when Minnesota was just a state that was populated by stoned hippies.

I wonder if the two officers or paramedic could have been hit by friendly fire...

That sure explains why they were so coy about it.

You do realize that's totally fake, right?

That dude was getting arrested for being drunk in public. He had nothing to do with the shooting.

The shooters were two black youths who are being charged as juveniles.

Several sources on Twitter have identified the murderer as Shannon Cortez Gooden, 38. He petitioned to have his gun rights restored in 2020 in relation to a 2008 felony assault conviction.

Dick, my wife said that he was misidentified and is not a illegal, just someone who drank too much and did not “Move along” when asked. He is American from Overland Park. They are trying to get this info out there because he is getting all kinds of hate. A normal partying drunk one of us and not some dangerous abstemious Terrorist.
