WTF is up with all the shootings at SE Michigan Home Depots?

By Katrease Stafford, Detroit Free Press 5:50 p.m. EDT October 12, 2015

A man was shot and killed in a Home Depot parking lot on Detroit's west side after a fender bender Monday morning.

The shooting happened around 10:04 a.m. at the Home Depot located at 18700 Meyers Rd., according to Detroit Police Officer Nicole Kirkwood. The victim, a 42-year-old man, was not immediately identified by police.

"The victim and the suspect were in the Home Depot Parking lot when an altercation occurred between the two of them," Kirkwood said. "They both pulled out of the parking lot and the suspect drove up to the passenger side of the victim's vehicle and fired some shots into it, striking the victim."

Moar gunz please!

If everyone was armed, then this would not have happened, or the suspect would have been bagged as well.

Seems that "concern" for victims is most concentrated in schoolyard spectaculars. Guns only. Eleanors38 Oct 2015 #8

Then you can bring up all manner of local crime (as long as its with gunz) while failing to acknowledge 20+ year low in homicides, and whether or not crime at Home Depot is any worse now as compared with years preceding. Sorta like the Fear, Fear, Fear! approach of local newz and Fox.

No doubt, a twenty year low in homicides (after the term had been redefined during Bush, what a surprise) is precious salt for the wounds of the victims, regardless of whether they accept your typically unsupported 'fear' allegation
