Discussion
May as well keep them in one place from now on. 2017 being the deadliest year for mass shootings in modern US history and they couldn’t let the current year end quietly.

How’s about you also set up a thread to keep all the UK terrorist attacks in one place? May as well keep them in one place as well, 2017 being what it’s been.

Thankfully UK terrorist attacks are still a rare occurrence, but thanks for your concern.

You forgot to add 'Part I' in the thread title or maybe the mods do that.
I'm going to start the "OFFICIAL" thread......
It'll be the only one that counts.....
2017 was the deadliest year for gun crime in Baltimore since 1993. The 2017 count stood at 343 on Friday. The city suffered 353 homicides in 1993.
Even in NI in the darkest days that was a bad year. Happy New Year Y'all.
A domestic dispute spurred the shooting deaths of five people at a Pennsylvania car wash, family sources said.
But US state police say they have not yet confirmed that or a motive for the shootings that occurred yesterday in the Melcroft community of Saltlick Township, about 55 miles south east of Pittsburgh. WPXI-TV reports they spoke with family members.
The victims were identified only as three men and two women in their 20s and 30s. Four of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene. Another died at a hospital.
An injured person was taken to hospital. His or her condition and identity is not yet known.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports a man who lives near the scene said he heard about 30 gunshots over a span of several minutes.
Two victims died inside a vehicle and two were found outside in the car wash’s car park.
Authorities were trying to determine if the gunman was among those found at the scene.

What they really need is not teachers with guns, but homeless people with guns. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/mar/15/us...

A far right nutter or an Islamist nutter I wonder?
A nutter is still a nutter no matter what label you put on him. Though it would suit a certain agenda if this particular nutter had has last meal at Alan’s Snack Bar.https://www.abc15.com/homepage-showcase/pittsburgh...

this is one of those thread when I see it pop up on my stuff, I wonder how many have died this time.
Baltimore a city with a population of roughly 600,000 is averaging roughly a murder a day and it’s only the sixth most violent city in the US. We just don’t hear about these things.Thursday was a particularly violent day in Baltimore, with 12 people shot, four fatally, in a series of seven incidents. But the numbers are not unprecedented.
When it comes to tracking record-setting crime incidents, Baltimore police’s public data is recorded in such a way that makes it difficult to pinpoint the city’s most violent days.
But according to police data posted on Open Baltimore, which contains crime statistics dating back to 2012, Thursday tied with at least two other dates believed to be among the highest documented number of shootings in single day.
