Multiple victim public shootings in places where guns are banned
The headlines are filled again with news of multiple victim public shootings, and as do 90% of these types of crimes, they occurred in victim zones - places where guns are banned.
Friday morning, Nichols overpowered a deputy on the way to court, then shot Fulton County Superior Court Judge Rowland W. Barnes and court reporter Julie Ann Brandau before killing another deputy while fleeing the building, Atlanta police said.
The shootings occurred about 9 a.m. as Nichols was being led into Barnes' eighth-floor courtroom, Dreher said. Nichols was being retried on rape, false imprisonment and other charges after a first trial last week ended in a hung jury. The second trial began Monday.
A COURTHOUSE WEAPONS BAN DID NOT STOP THIS CRIME, BUT IT DID PREVENT ANYONE FROM BEING ABLE TO STOP THIS CRIMINAL.
A man opened fire with a handgun at a church service in a Wisconsin hotel on Saturday, killing seven people and wounding four before taking his own life, police said.
Four victims and the gunman died at the scene and three others died later at a hospital.
What prompted the violence at the Sheraton Hotel in Brookfield 10 miles west of Milwaukee during a regular service of the Living Church of God in a meeting room was still under investigation, Brookfield's police chief, Dan Tushaus, told reporters.
He said the unidentified 45-year-old shooter "was either a member or somehow affiliated with the church" and that he entered the service while in session and began firing.
A STATE CONCEALED CARRY BAN DID NOT STOP THIS CRIME, BUT IT DID PREVENT ANYONE FROM BEING ABLE TO STOP THIS CRIMINAL.
