I live in Clintonville (Columbus) OH and we had somebody shot and killed about 3 blocks from ....

... where I live a few months ago. (The shooting was at the corner of Weber and Indianola.)

This statehouse shooting* can be added in with the Linden area shooting of 2 .... one dead and
the other is in critical condition, a 62 year old man was shot killed on the north east side of the city,
and 2 people were shot and killed in Galloway, OH just south and west of Columbus. The Galloway
shooting has now been followed up by another killing a few hours ago and in the suburb of Reynolds-
burg somebody just died from a drive by shooting 3 or so days ago.

This is madness. The senate needs to pass 127 now!

It is the guns. End of story.

Hot temper plus easy access to gun always equals something bad.

It’s the same way here. There’s always a shooting in the local news headlines. Every single day.

I had no idea there was a shooting at Weber and Indianola. Hubster and I have lived in Clintonville close to forty years. It has changed, and not for the better.
