Indeed. It's getting increasingly bad: At least 14 confirmed deaths now, around 50 wounded, at least three of those in critical condition. A

real mass shooting. Now, if we remember Oslo one year ago, early reports said 8-10 shot dead, several wounded. Later revised to 69 dead, 60 more wounded. This Denver-massacre is a developing story, so things could get worse there, too (although not likely as much worse as it did with Oslo - much smaller scene, here).

One suspect apprehended. He wore a riot helmet, bullet proof vest, had gas cannisters and walked up the aisles shooting random people as he walked. It's very much like the terror from Oslo-area (Utoya) almost exactly one year ago.

Not that it's an important detail right here and now, but I have a feeling that many in Norway will be re-traumatized by this, as we are readying for new rose parades now Sunday (on the one year anniversary).

Yep, no reason at all to joke about something like this. {nm} LanceStorm22 Jul 20, 04:23

Norwegian TV reports ten shot dead, and another twenty wounded. This comes two days before Norway's one year anniversary for the July terror Facto Jul 20, 01:34

That's a horrible thing to say. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jul 20, 03:30

Don't really care about your opinion. {nm} Mr. Smitherz Jul 20, 08:51

good to focus on the important things {nm} mickpix Jul 20, 02:31

I don't care. {nm} Mr. Smitherz Jul 20, 08:48

this is such a tragedy...i dont understand why you in America are allowed to use and buy weapons {nm} MatthiasVGer Jul 20, 02:59

Seriously? The d-bags are going to get guns anyway. It is nice to have one to defend yourself and this is coming from a hawkfanatic2 Jul 20, 03:34

A poor argument, predicated on fear as opposed to truth. Just look at the stats for countries with strict gun laws {nm} numbersix_99 Jul 20, 03:36

Look at the cities in America with strict gun control laws, they have the highest crime rates. {nm} Tanker Jul 20, 03:41

How strict? What are the laws? The fact that they are accessible is still the problem {nm} numbersix_99 Jul 20, 04:20

Sadly, criminals do not obey the law. Look at the gun laws in Chicago and the violence, look at D.C. and look at the violence. Tanker Jul 20, 04:33

Agreed, but if you outlaw the ownership of all semi-automatic weapons in the nation, you will see a reduction in gun-related murders {nm} numbersix_99 Jul 20, 04:54
