Official says 8 wounded in Tennessee church shooting | NBC4i.com

On Twitter, Nashville fire officials described it as a “mass casualty situation.” They said eight people, nearly all of them adults over age 60, were being treated for gunshot wounds and the area around the church remained shut down.

My heart aches for this country. Even old, church going people aren't safe in their house of worship from nuts.

1 dead, 8 injured in ‘mass casualty’ shooting at Antioch church | WKRN News 2
In all fairness, many Americans are kinda accustomed to this.

That's the sad part.

Most Americans seem to be comfortable with the level of gun violence in this country. At the very least, they accept it. If they didn't, there would be more efforts to control access to guns.

Fortunately, some states do take it seriously enough to do something about it. I seriously doubt Tennessee will change any of its laws due to this incident.

Crickets. Curious why this incident is being ignored? Is it because the victims were in church? Because the shooter is a 26 year old AA man?

I didn't know nor do I care the race of the shooter. Seems like you do.

As I stated before, Americans are desensitized with this level of violence, and being that one person was killed doesn't really surprise me that it's not gaining that much attention.

If it were a Muslim this thread would be ten pages already. This tragedy just didn't fit their political narrative because of the races and religions involved. You know as well as I do if some Muslim was responsible the thread would be very different.

Until then the outage of the week is someone kneeling

Police are now aware of a motive but are not yet releasing the motive.
