1 dead, 6 injured in shooting next to Cristo Rey High School in Minneapolis

A man is dead and six others are wounded after a shooter sprayed dozens of rounds Tuesday afternoon in what Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara described as a “deeply troubling act of violence.”

Police say the shooting happened just before 1:30 p.m. near the intersection of 29th Street East and Clinton Avenue, directly behind Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in the city’s Phillips neighborhood.

O’Hara said initial reports described 30 rounds of gunfire aimed at a group of people gathered on the sidewalk, all of whom are believed to be adults. One man was pronounced dead at the scene; three of the remaining six victims were taken to the hospital with critical injuries.

It appears no students or staff were injured

1. I suppose Trump will send us some federal troops now...

[sarisataka]

3. I will not be surprised

If he mentions it soon

24. The Kakistocracy has no idea how to stop drive-by gang shootings

Which this almost assuredly was. A "group of adults" gathered at a desolate intersection behind a school at 1:30 in the afternoon? They weren't buying Lattes.

Go to Google Maps at look at the street view of 29th & Clinton if you think I'm talking out my ass.

What would the National Guard do to stop drug & gang drive-bys? Drive through the dangerous neighborhoods in APCs looking for "groups of adults"?

29. I wouldn't be surprised if he sent the shooter

as an excuse to deploy armed federal troops.

2. I really wish we could outlaw these killing machines

[Walleye]

5. Well, other countries do it

[Walleye]

8. OK, well I guess we just have to tolerate all these mass shootings

How many mass shootings have they had in Scotland?

[Walleye]

11. Totalitarian anti-freedom? Have you looked around lately here

Oh yeah, we were going to use all these guns to throw off our tyrannical government. When does that happen?

[oberle]

12. Scotland is most definately

NOT totalitarian or anti-freedom. Have you lived there or do you just watch Fox Snooze?

22. Byeeeeeeeeee

28. trolling since 2003

wow

[Aristus]

14. Hmm. Someone who knows nothing about Scotland.

[Skittles]

26. probably knows nothing about common decency, either

[Ocelot II]

18. Totalitarian, anti-freedom Scotland? That's news to me, and probably even more so

to the citizens of Scotland. I've been there. Didn't see soldiers in the streets or gigantic posters of their Dear Leader on public buildings. Or daily mass shootings. If you think a country that has gun control is necessarily totalitarian and anti-freedom, you might be posting on the wrong forum.

7. Welcome to DU

Interesting. I will continue to call for common sense gun control and most Americans support that too.

[Greg_In_SF]

10. What would

that include?

[Greg_In_SF]

16. It is tough

to get a straight answer.

AR15 rifles are used in about 1% of gun crime. All classifications of long guns - shotguns, hunting rifles, AR15’s etc. account for about 3% of gun crime.

[Oeditpus Rex]

30. And what percentage

of mass shootings?

[Aristus]

17. Every gun owner is a law-abiding gun owner.

Until he suddenly isn't anymore. How many murdered people never got the chance to see their killer's Law-Abiding Gun-Owner Good Guy card?

32. Handguns? Not likely

Virtually all polling shows a majority of Americans, even Democrats, against outlawing handguns. The only guns that get much support for bans are assault rifles.

You'd think we could at least make them less lethal, but guess again! Minnesota's courts recently overturned our ban on binary triggers, devices that let guns fire TWO shots per trigger pull. Literally no purpose other than to send wildly inaccurate fire into a large target (like a crowd), but nope.

23. It's not tough to figure out if a nation values violence at the expense of peace.

The tough bit is convicning those citizens with closed eyes they're not in fact, blind, and need only open up and take an honest look around.

25. Yikes.....6 "name removed"......gotta be some record eh??

[Skittles]

27. I HATE it when I miss the trolls

ESPECIALLY the gun humping ones

[Oeditpus Rex]

31. Yeah, it's like

when you're gonna hit with the winning run on second in the bottom of the ninth, but they get the third out while you're in the on-deck circle.
