5 dead, including officer and gunman, in Missouri shooting
March 16, 2020
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Five people including a police officer and a gunman have died in a shooting at a Missouri gas station after the gunman went inside and opened fire, police said Monday.
The dead also include three citizens, Springfield police Chief Paul Williams announced Monday, and an officer was injured along with another citizen.
Williams said police received reports of “multiple shooting calls throughout the city” late Sunday. As officers were responding, witnesses reported a vehicle crashed into a Kum & Go. gas station and convenience store, and the gunman ran inside and began shooting customers and employees, Williams said. The first two officers who arrived were shot.
Other officers pulled the injured officers from the store and then went inside, finding three citizens dead. The gunman also was found dead, apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot, Williams said.

really bad very quickly.
Now that we have all of these Cult45 gun nuts armed to the teeth, if we end up in a depression with super high unemployment and a lack of goods you'll see this type of thing all over the place. I can foresee them forming gangs, (militias 
) to protect their "territories." It could get really ugly really fast.
Stay safe!
