Who would shoot a mall?

That place can not exist.

Was it a Glock or an AK-47?

cameroncrazy1984: That place can not exist.

It does. And it's rather close to my house. About 20 miles or so.

Is it too early to talk about responsible gun legislation?

gopher321: Who would shoot a mall?

Maybe it was a gun mall

What a horrible thing to happen when people were just trying to celebrate the birth of Clacka.

God, guns and guts.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this will be evidence that everyone on the internet has always been correct about whatever their opinion on guns is.

Just last night...

/oblig

was it an ironic gun??

aimtastic: What a horrible thing to happen when people were just trying to celebrate the birth of Clacka.

I was just about to make an inappropriate and ill-timed joke about the War on Clackamas, but I see it would be redundant.

Heh. Merry Clackamas!

Clackamas, more like Clackamassacre.


amirite?

Ah, Clackamas Town Center. The "Town Center" is a mall. There's an Olive Garden and everything.

As someone who works in retail and wants Christmas shoppers dead, I will point out that this is not the way to go about things.

/Snark aside, stay safe Portland people

for the love of god, please take the guns away from Americans, they are far too irresponsible.

clancifer: Is it too early to talk about responsible gun legislation?

Gun legislation only affects people who procure the weapons through legal channels--most criminals don't buy their weapon at the local gun shop.

clancifer: Is it too early to talk about responsible gun legislation?

Not if you're Bob Costas.

Malls in the month of December are rage inducing...

I keep hearing assault rifle, nothing more specific yet. Reporter just said AR15.

Is it too early for Portlandia jokes?

I have been informed that Bi-Mart is the place for Christmas savings.

Who cares? Two people just died in a car accident two cities away from me. Should I submit that with a BREAKING NEWS!!!!!ONE111!!! tag?

Some tweets.

Live coverage brought to you by Bi-Mart, where everyone is a switch-hitter.

/Pray this doesn't get any worse than it's already been reported.

Somebody really wanted that Wii U.

Considering the accuracy rate of the local media, that means it was likely an Airsoft pistol.

clancifer: Is it too early to talk about responsible gun legislation?

It's never too early for gun control advocates to spout smug, sanctimonious, and vague suggestions that amount to 90s-era Brady Campaign pipe dreams.

Clackamas is a county, not a suburb. Once it gets annexed, it will be part of Milwaukie.

Xtreme food fight. Pity the link isn't to a local website, katu needs the exposure.

//Yes, I do shop there occasionally.

Silly Jesus: Who cares? Two people just died in a car accident two cities away from me. Should I submit that with a BREAKING NEWS!!!!!ONE111!!! tag?

Two dead, for to seven more confirmed shot.

msnbc says shooter "neutralized."

He snapped when someone wished him Merry Clackamas for the 10,000th time.

Clacka died for your sins.

The shooter is "neutralized" according the local police. That's an awesome phrase.

Reminder: Pray for Omarion.

They're right, you know. Now is not the time to talk about gun control. The time to talk about gun control was Yesterday. #Portland

That depends. Did someone SHOOT THEM to cause the accident?

No?

Then, no.

Accidents happen. Shootings in a mall are news.

I have friends and even some family members who will say this could have been avoided or ended quickly if there were more people carrying weapons in the mall.

Save us, Bob Costas! Save us...

For gods sakes people, if your going to go on a killing spree, use a farking sword, or a flamethrower at least! Every farking time you shoot a gun the rest of us have to hear the farking whining for weeks and frankly thats worse than any family deaths.

Nina_Hartley's_Ass: Some tweets.


I don't care how I die, so long as "I'm stuck in the back room of build a bear!" are not my last words to the world.

clancifer: Is it too early to talk about responsible gun legislation?

Exactly how would you enforce this? House to house searches?

moops: Ah, Clackamas Town Center. The "Town Center" is a mall. There's an Olive Garden and everything.

Olive Garden? It was a mercy killing.

I was mostly impressed he knew what an ar15 is.

Funny

Use of unnecessary violence in the apprehension of the Blues Brothers HAS been approved.

/This mall has EVERYTHING

One person is confirmed dead. 

clancifer: Is it too early to talk about responsible gun legislation?

America has some of the most sensible gun laws in the world. We target behavior for prohibition and not wholesale elimination. Should we really try and mimic nations with more violent crime like Mexico and the United Kingdom by enacting harsher laws?

America has a crime problem because we have a crime culture.

Fun mall fact: Clackamas is/was known to host the ice skating rink in which Tanya Harding was a regular.
