Police catch 'nonchalant' gunman who killed three at Colorado Walmart

Source: Reuters

THORNTON, Colo. (Reuters) - Police in Colorado on Thursday captured a man who they had said calmly walked into a suburban Denver Walmart and fatally shot three people before driving away.

The Thornton Police Department said on Twitter that Scott Ostrem, 47, had been taken into custody. It did not immediately give details.

Authorities had earlier released a surveillance camera photograph of a middle-aged white man wearing a black jacket and blue jeans. They also published a photo of the red four-door hatchback he is believed to have fled in.

Just last night shopping unfortunately at Wally World I noticed a guy, white, earring a 45. Open carry is public safety situation and it needs to be scaled back. Some idiot redneck trying to prove his manhood by wearing a high caliber gun it becomes a safety hazard. He could have pulled that gun out and shot anyone that pissed him off.

The Traitor doesn't give a shit when a white guy runs around murdering people, when a brown person does it, He loses his shit. No prejudice there.

They're even considered white by the Census.

Am I misreading? There were three killed in this - two men and a woman.

Presuming you're talking about the NYC truck down the bike lane incident that killed eight and injured 11.

Are my math skills that bad?

14. Apparently only to tRump, who tweeted or spoke on the issue of Miranda rights & there's Puerto Rico.

The point being tRump is only outraged if a Muslim is involved. Otherwise he'd issue a statement about the Colorado incident where more Americans were killed.

But of course he is inconsistent. He was inconsistent in multiple ways about the American military killed in Niger.

Otherwise the guy would've just kept shooting.
