Tucson suspect shoots at EMTs, police and firefighters in spree that leaves one dead, four injured

Source: NBC News

A gunman who shot at paramedics, firefighters and police at three locations in Tucson, Arizona, Sunday afternoon killed a civilian and left four others injured.

In what Tucson Police Chief Chris Magnus called "an extremely complex series of incidents," another person was killed in a house fire and two or three children were missing.

The call about the fire at a home in South Tucson came in first, at 3:46 p.m., Magnus said. Three minutes later, police are told that a man has shot at an ambulance that had responded to an unrelated medical call at Quincie Douglas Park, about a mile away

The driver and passenger EMTs were struck, but one of them was able to make the call to police and describe the suspect and the vehicle he drove away in, Magnus said.

From the link in the OP:

Two or three children associated with the house who were thought to be missing were later found alive, Sgt. Richard Gradillas tweeted Monday. Their relationship to the suspect is also unknown.

I just don't get it. They are built to kill and maim, but some people don't want any restrictions.

to blame an increase in violence on President Biden. The blood and blame lie directly at the feet (and hands) of the NRA and the republican party.
