ATLANTA (AP) — Four college students were wounded when a gunman opened fire into a crowd of 200 people outside a library near Clark Atlanta University and then escaped in the chaos, authorities said.

All four injured women were in stable condition after the gunfire, which happened shortly after 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. None of their injuries were life-threatening, Atlanta police said.

The four students were shot outside a library that serves Clark Atlanta and other nearby historically black colleges.

The block party, held the night before the first day of classes, was celebrating the end of orientation for new students.

Don't know how this escaped making headlines. Guess it's below today's radar settings.

1. I think the civil war has begun.

[maxsolomon]

4. based on what, a mass shooting?

then the Civil War never stopped.

[malaise]

2. Saw this on the Local 10 Florida news

It has to be a massive slaughter for national coverage these days

[gratuitous]

3. Yeah, four wounded victims just isn't newsworthy

And since Clark Atlanta is an historic black college, none of the victims are likely to be cute blonde white girls.

5. NO ONE DIED. stop with the kneejerk accusations.

what level of coverage would satisfy you and prove a lack of racial bias?

how many victims in El Paso were "cute blonde white girls"? Dayton? those were both newsworthy.

8. I mean, I'm willing to bet that if 4 Emory students had been shot

the media would be all over it.

[Recursion]

6. HBCU, so the media doesn't care (nt)

[gratuitous]

7. Careful

Someone will probably be along to yell at you for that.

[maxsolomon]

9. Yeah, here I come.

The OP is discussing a story that was posted on APNews. Another poster said they saw it on the news in FL. So it is a national story. Just not as major as you want it to be to not see Structural Racism in the reporting.

NO ONE DIED is why this isn't 24/7 cable coverage.

Do you all know that "you Libtards don't care about Black people getting shot every weekend in Chicago" is a standard Gunner Troll response to any given Rampage Shooting? Every damn massacre, that false equivalence is thrown in the face of anyone who wants less shootings.

I'm really glad no one was killed. Aren't you?

[gratuitous]

10. I never said I wasn't glad that nobody was killed

But thanks for your efforts to try to stuff words into other people's posts. The ALL CAPS is very persuasive.

11. Judicious use of all caps is fine in my book.

I'm glad we agree that no one getting killed is a good thing.
