I mean really?
Probably would be more shootings, but not to fear, most would be people shooting themselves in the foot.

I actually witnessed a road rage in Florida one time where a guy shot himself in the other hand...

I guess it happens all the time:

I truly hope you are joking.

When I saw the headline on Yahoo!, I couldn't help but think maybe it was because the guy was fired or was going to be layed off.

Americans adore violence! America just wouldn't be America without rampaging people who shoot randomly.
It's just a long list of random shootings in America.
If America were to go for about 18 months without a random shooting, that would be news!

Yeah, that's what I heard too. That he was fired and couldn't collect unemployment and just lost it.

Better "aim" for something lower, like 18 hours...or maybe 18 minutes.

No, the killer would be killed soon after opening fire.

I am getting somewhat concerned about several of the posters. An ability to reason seems to be lacking. I'm a little afraid that they may snap, just to be newsworthy.
