Law enforcement officers responded to a shooting incident Sunday in Phoenix, Arizona, where two people were killed and five others injured.
CNN
A gunman who killed two people and injured five others including two police officers in Phoenix Sunday was armed with a semi-automatic rifle and wearing tactical gear, according to police.
The shooter, who police said appears to have died by suicide, was also found with several magazines, incendiary devices, a gas mask and helmet, the Phoenix Police Department said in a news release, adding surveillance footage shows the gunman throwing a Molotov cocktail at a restaurant window, though it failed to ignite.
The suspect has yet to be positively identified, police said, and authorities have not named the victims. Of the two killed, one was an adult man and the other an adult woman, the release said. Both police officers suffered non-life-threatening injuries, as did three other bystanders, all of whom are adult men.

Obviously those weapons are weak sauce. Only killed two people! A nut with a knife could do that.

keep them straight. I was gone for the weekend with no internet connection and am just seeing this. I assumed this was one that had occurred a while back, but oh no, our fucked up, gun-crazy country just can't get enough of shooting folks for fun with military-grade hardware. Call me unsurprised and not shocked but still very, very angry. . . .
