And another thing - the GOP candidates can tweet their thoughts and prayers now but when planned parenthood was getting smoked those corksuckers were silent.

Mass Shootings Have Become More Common In The U.S.

Mother Jones magazine gathered data on mass shootings for a 2012 investigation and has continued to update its list, counting 72 incidents from 1982 through Tuesday. The magazine uses relatively strict criteria — the incidents must occur in public places and can't involve gangs or robbery. The primary motive must be mass murder. Also, Mother Jones excludes incidents in which the shooter killed three people or fewer — meaning that its count doesn't include the shooting at a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood clinic last week that killed three people. Events that fit the criteria are rare — the high in a single year was seven, in 2012. That means single large events have a big impact on the data, making it noisy. But the long-term trend is clear: There have been more total mass shooting incidents and deaths in the 11 years starting with 2005 than there were in the previous 23 years combined.

One of the seriously injured in the Kalamazoo attack, a 14-year-old girl, was believed to have been dead for more than hour when she squeezed her mother's hand as doctors were preparing to harvest her organs, police officer Dale Hinz told Michigan Live.

Pretty chilling. A girl the Uber driver shot.

How in the actual farg could they mistake her for dead, and only realize the mistake like that?  Jesus Christ.

no chance that story is true....its a great story but simply isn't real....good click bait tho

[Eagaholic]

numerous outlets are reporting it including the wash post, nbc news and such. She had already been pronounced dead. Maybe they are all wrong though.

As far as your click bait theory, the bbc article I quoted was entitled Kalamazoo killings: US Uber driver charged over shooting spree

lol at thinking a neat story is true because a major news outlet runs it

[Susquehanna Birder]

numerous outlets are reporting it including the wash post, nbc news and such.

The problem is that one outlet publishes a story - correct or not - and then the rest of the copy-and-paste journalists jump on it. There is no accountability any more.

2 people shot at high school graduation ceremony in Kansas

Augusta Police Chief Tyler Brewer said Sunday afternoon that the shooting was accidental and described it as a "knucklehead situation." The bullet went through the man's foot and traveled about another 50 feet before striking a woman in her calf. The woman has been released from a Wichita hospital, while the man has been admitted with an injury that's not life-threatening.
