13 Shot at Kroger, Collierville, TN

https://www.localmemphis.com/mobile/article/news/local/kroger-active-shooter-collierville-tennessee-news-conference/522-8cb77488-3446-4458-affb-6d0ca642f216

Describing the scene as "the most horrific event that's occurred in Collierville history," Collierville Police Chief Dale Lane outlined what authorities knew about the shooting at a Kroger that left more than a dozen people injured and the shooter dead.

Thirteen people were shot -- one fatally -- the police chief said. The gunman died from a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to Dale.

Snip

"I watched guys that ran into the front of that building knowing that -- historically, not in this case, many of these shooters have high-powered rifles -- and not one of them hesitated going in that front door," Dale said."

More at link. Collierville is a very affluent suburb in the Memphis region.

Injuries all said to be very serious.

The results of TN no requirement for training to open carry deadly weapons!

This is why covid isolation is no different for me.

This is precisely why Memphis literally cannot hire enough police. Different department, but right next door.

Healing vibes to the victims & 1st responders as well as employees & witnesses. 💓💓💓

Should experience being shot with it first.
And everyone who uses it inappropriately should personally have to deal with the same injuries as their victims.

That is not at all at odds with my anti-violence signature. Choose to play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
