Seems legit, its on the bbc news website, and the shooter is allegedly dead. Sorry, to those injured or dead, but im not sure what else to say about the type of event without sounding too callous about gun crime in the USA.

They need more guns on the streets of America so that they can take on these madmen when they appear

It seems it was the result of a botched robbery. Two dead, eight injured.

Scratch that, apparently it was 'work related'.
Either way, it's quite obvious Obama was behind it.

Or maybe just ensure that their armed police officers can shoot straight..sheesh....

It appears the original shooter shot and killed his intended victim, and the police shot him and probably the other 8 bystanders in the process.
