Little Rock police say 17 people shot, none fatally, in club on W. 6th Street

Source: Arkansas Times

Little Rock police are reporting 17 people wounded by gunshots, none fatally, in an incident they first reported about 2:30 a.m. this morning at the Power Bar and Ultra Lounge at 220 W. 6th Street.

A police Tweet said:

We do NOT believe this incident was an active shooter or terror related incident. It appears to have been a dispute at a concert
About 6:10 a.m., the police added:

#UPDATE as of now ALL 17 confirmed shooting victims are alive. We will provide additional updates as needed.

When you publicize people who glamorize violence, why be surprised when thats exactly what you get?

'Gunz' was just repeated to make clear how much those people love their gunz.

The other word repeated, and this is whose fault it is, was "USA". Clear? Happy?

4. If there's no dead shooter, how was this not an active shooter incident?

17 people were shot. Guns don't shoot themselves. There was at least one active shooter. The shooter, or shooters, are still alive. They were actively shooting.

Do the Little Rock police think that "a dispute at a concert" with guns doesn't count as shooting? Why is a dispute at a concert different from a dispute at a hospital?

"We do NOT believe this incident was an active shooter ... incident"

Their belief, at the moment they are writing, is that it *was* not an active shooter incident. So to them "active shooter" means ... I'm not sure what.

I thought you were supposed to practice enough to hit and drop what you were shooting, not injure 17 people you weren't.

That ought to be a Federal offense.

90% of gun owners couldn't have guns if they had to be competent.

And off topic, when trumphole bragged about shooting somebody in Time Square or wherever it was, he probably would have no idea how a gun works. And he'd probably manage to shoot himself trying if he did.

are starting to pay dividends. Sooner or later gunz bought by "law abiding" citizens tend to wind up in the hands of lunatics and bad guys. Excess surplus is a bitch huh?

Sounds like gangs doing what gangs do. Given the string of recent drive by shootings looks like turf bullshit.
