Nice it worked out well for a change!
Yeah, like see? It CAN work like in the movies! It's verified now! One out of every 1200 mass shootings!
Oddly..... not really. I'm sitting in my parked car at the main entrance and people are going by very 'run of the mill'. You'd think they were picking their kids up early because of the weather.
I'm guessing it's because this was no Florida shooting; sounds like it ended just as quickly as it began- hopefully not because people are used to it :/
Definitely a bit of both, I'd guess. Good on you for the assist, @Master_Dahark. Stay safe.
I'm home now- it's the first thing something like this happened in MD (at least as far as I know) but luckily this could have been a LOT worse.
Russia brands Boris Johnson's Putin-Hitler comparison 'disgusting' .
Russia has hit out at Boris Johnson's comparison of Vladimir Putin to Adolf Hitler, calling it "disgusting" and "unacceptable".
The Foreign Secretary suggested the Russian President will "glory" in this summer's World Cup in a similar way to the German dictator during the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.
Mr Johnson told a committee of MPs it was "an emetic prospect" to think of Mr Putin "glorying in this sporting event", as he agreed it would be comparable to the Olympics held in Nazi Germany.
"I think the comparison with 1936 is certainly right," Mr Johnson said.
He was responding to a question from Labour MP Ian Austin, who suggested Russia's President was planning to use the event "in the way Hitler used the 1936 Olympics" as a propaganda exercise to "gloss over" Russia's "gross human rights abuses".
The comments drew an immediate response from Russia after Mr Johnson made them on Wednesday, with its foreign ministry accusing the British Foreign Secretary of being "poisoned with venom of hate, unprofessionalism and boorishness".
Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov kept up the attack on Thursday, saying it was "a completely disgusting statement".
"This is beneath the foreign minister of any country. Of course it is offensive and unacceptable," he said.
The 1936 Olympics provided a propaganda opportunity for Hitler and his Nazi regime in Germany, with the run-up to the Games marked by debate over whether it should be boycotted by other nations - most prominently in the US.
Hitler officiated at both the opening and closing ceremonies, but saw his dream of a triumph for "Aryan" athletes famously undermined by black American athlete Jesse Owens winning four gold medals.
Mr Johnson's remarks represent a dramatic escalation of the war of words between Britain and Russia over the poisoning of Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury earlier this month.
London has blamed the nerve agent attack on Moscow, something Russia has denied.
In an extraordinary rant on Wednesday, the country's foreign ministry accused Britain of "Russophobia" and having an "island mentality".
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Theresa May is set to tell EU leaders they will succeed in the face of Russia's threat if they remain united.
At a European Council summit in Brussels on Thursday, the PM will speak of the "indiscriminate and reckless" attack in Salisbury as part of a pattern of recent behaviour from Moscow.
As well as plunging ties between Britain and Russia to their lowest level since the Cold War, the poisoning has raised a number of questions about this summer's World Cup.
Mr Johnson told the MPs that he was "deeply concerned" at the treatment travelling England fans would likely receive in Russia.
He suggested the Foreign Office - which has until this point stopped short of advising fans not to travel - could reconsider its position given recent events.

Two dead after 'ISIS' gunman shoots at police officers and takes hostages in French supermarket after shouting Allahu Akbar.
Two people are dead and 12 injured after a gunman claiming allegiance to ISIS shot at riot police officers and took hostages at a supermarket in the south of France, according to reports.
Negotiators are in contact with the gunman after a number of hostages were released, but officials are expecting to find more victims, it was reported.
The suspected terrorist, feared to be carrying explosives, was heard shouting "Allahu Akbar" and "Vengeance for Syria" before the rampage at two scenes in the neighbouring towns of Trebes and Carcassonne.
The drama unfolded around 11am when a police officer was shot and wounded in the shoulder while he was out for a job with colleagues in Carcassonne.
A short time later, about eight hostages were taken at a branch of Super U in Trebes - a 15-minute drive away - where a butcher was killed in an attack that may have been in revenge for a bombing campaign against ISIS in Syria.
Trebes' mayor, Eric Menassi, has told French media that there are "two victims" -a worker and a customer - inside the supermarket, which has been surrounded by heavily armed police.
The gunman claimed allegiance to ISIS, according to the local prosecutor's office, which is treating the incident as terrorism.
Terrified shoppers fled the supermarket as the gunman stormed the building shouting "Allah Akbar" and "You are bombing Syria, you will die", local media reported.
Around eight hostages in the supermarket were released shortly after 12.15pm, but a police officer remained inside with the gunman. There were fears the suspect was armed with grenades, a handgun and knives.
A source in the town said: "A butcher in the U-Supermarket has been shot dead.
"The gunman was heard shouting slogans about the war in Syria. He says he is representing Islamic State."
The phrase "Vengeance for Syria" were also heard by riot police officers who were attacked by the suspect earlier while out jogging in civilian running gear.
The police who were shot at were all members of the CRS 57 (Republic Security Companies) unit, based at Carcassonne. All were off duty when they were attacked, around two miles from the supermarket.
It was reported that grenades were spotted on the gunman, said to be in his 30s.
Local media were reporting that the officers jogging in Carcassonne were shot at by two people in a car. Five shots were fired and one of the officers was shot and wounded in the shoulder.
The officers tried to pursue the gunman, but he accelerated away.
The wounded officer was rushed to the nearest hospital.
Trebes is in an area hugely popular with British second home owners, expats, and holidaymakers.
If a link to ISIS is confirmed, Friday morning's attack would be the first major terror incident on French soil since the election of centrist President Emmanuel Macron in May last year.
France has been on high alert following a string of jihadist attacks since 2015.
In January of that year, an attack on the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo left 12 people dead.
Later in 2015, in November, ISIS terrorists killed 130 people when they attacked multiple locations in Paris, including bars, restaurants, the Bataclan concert venue and the national stadium.
In July 2016, in another attack claimed by ISIS, a man drove a truck through revellers celebrating Bastille Day in the southern coastal city of Nice, killing 84 people.
A state of emergency put in place just after the Paris attacks in 2015 was finally lifted in October last year, but soldiers continue to patrol major tourist sites and transport hubs under an anti-terror mission.
And on a side note here's a portrait of the Prophet Mohammad: :-(
Unlike with the Russians of course who definitely did it and you can name as the culprits before the victim is even in the ambulance.
The Mayor is an official source.
As we all know, jihad means peace.
To quote a certain Mr Bond 'I thought one less bomb maker would be a good thing.'
Nothing unfortunate about a dead terrorist as far as I'm concerned.
I would rather they tortured the little bastard and got information,then killed him,but,believe me,dead is good with me too.
