    Crazy stuff... too many shootings going on in this country.

    These kinds of shootings happen in bunches here in Chicago during the nighttime daily.

    Just gotten way out of control.

    Even so if it prevents five less shootings per year its worth it regardless.

    Its pathetic that we're so desensitized to mass shootings nowadays.

    Also annoying is the fact that yesterday 19 people were shot in south Chicago and no one gives two ****s about that.

    If by 'mass shooting', you mean 8 people who were caught in a firefight with NYPD at a busy tourist location, it is pretty pathetic indeed...

    The killer only shot his intended victim

    Nope. She is out of the picture with her food while the kid can still be seen on the sidewalk.

    In other news, all 8 victims, other than the shooter and his target, were injured by the cops' guns.

    Were they aiming or spraying and praying?

    If true, its remarkable that they were able to injure 8 other people while the gunman was a couple of feet from them.

    Makes the folks that argue everyone having a concealed weapon being a bad a idea look smarter. These are the supposed "trained law enforcement"...

    It doesn't look like at least two of the cops are even aware of the shooter. They stand next to him firing into an innocent crowd of people. It is all very odd.

    It looked like they were following the suspect which is why he turned around and pulled the gun.

    Once he pulled the gun, it seemed the two cops panicked. The one on the right somewhat gathered himself and I am pretty sure he is the one who shot the suspect.

    The cop on the left has his gun pointed completely away from the suspect and at the crowd while he can clearly see the guy with the fun in front of him. This cop just flat out panicked and lost it.

    At least this is what I can tell from this video.
