This happened Sunday, May 29. I realized I never made a thread about it but in light of recent events I think it's important to show how serious the problem of mass shootings that occur so frequently in the US now is. 

 

HOUSTON - Houston Police released new details about Sunday's mass shooting in west Houston during a press conference Tuesday.

According to investigators, the suspect, Dionisio Garza III, fired 212 rounds during the shooting rampage in a neighborhood off of Memorial Drive.

Police say that Garza came from California and arrived on Saturday to see some friends. They believe that the shooting location was random.

The suspect broke in to a tire shop and stayed there the day before the shooting. Police believe he intentionally turned off his phone and "went off the grid" at 4 p.m. Saturday.

Garza came out of the tire shop and confronted victim Eugene Linsomb and shot him. Linscomb died at the scene. The suspect then retrieved an AR-15 and shot at passing cars and police vehicles. He struck a line to the gas station, which then caught on fire.

"We believe his military training and his location, he felt safe there," said Lt. John McGalin. "Had access to three corners. Didn't have to worry about anyone coming up behind him. There just seems to be no rhyme or reason to why he picked that location."

John Wilson, who was initially believed to be a second shooter, was a resident in the area and came out to offer assistance. He was out-gunned by the suspect and was shot in the leg. He is expected to survive.

A total of eight people were shot, including the gunman. An HPD sniper fired four rounds, including the kill shot.

"At the scene, we found some random writings on the walls he wrote on paper, nothing of consequence, doesn't appear to be terrorism, just appears to be someone who was in mental health crisis at this time," said McGalin.

I don't even know how to react about such news anymore! Should i be outraged that suddenly the human race is going backwards or should i cry for sudden outburst of violence and death of innocent people? i have no hope left for a better world, those few of us who are doing one act of kindness at a time will also be the target soon enough!

Give your love to me
