CNN) Five people have been shot at an office park in the Maryland community of Edgewood, and the shooter is believed to be on the loose, a deputy with the Harford County sheriff's office said Wednesday morning.

The shooter left the scene -- the Emmorton Business Park in Edgewood, roughly 30 miles northeast of Baltimore -- and no one has been arrested, the deputy said.

Five schools in the Edgewood area were placed on lockdown -- meaning students are being kept in the buildings, and visitors are not permitted -- as a precaution at the advice of the sheriff's office, the county school system said on its website

Among the NRA, the media's short attention span, and a fatass wannabe fratbro attention-whore president mooning people and legislating the NFL to distract at every opportunity, what chance to gun violence victims have?

and the obvious answer is more guns. So the rest of us, as responsible law abiding people, should go to the nearest gun store and help stimulate the gun industry before Obama repeals the 2nd amendment. Or something...

And is still on the run.

Police are saying it's a work related shooting.

In much the same way that the police in the UK handle guns.

Police in this country are often violent and abusive, particularly when dealing with POC, LBGTQ, protestors, etc.

12. We should develop a National cemetery for 2nd Amendment victims

Oct 2017

acccording to the GOP, mass shootings are the price of the 2nd amendment.

Aren’t these victims entitled to full burial honors in a national cemetery? Trump should be required to call each victim and offer the Country’s profound gratitude for the sacrifice.
Each coffin should be draped in the American flag as well for these victims served the state by their deaths.

Support these troops!
