Two People Dead In Toys "R" Us Shooting...WTF

[mrreindeer]

What on Earth is the, uh, world, coming to???

"Sarah Pacia of Cathedral City told The Desert Sun newspaper she was in the store with her two boys, ages 4 and 6, looking at coloring books when she heard a commotion in the next aisle. She thought it was people rushing to get a sale item. Then she heard three or four shots."

Well at least the two bone heads killed each other and no one else.

Rumor has it they were fighting over who was actually THE Toys R Us kid.

Exactly what I was thinking.

oddly enough the toys r us in my area has a sign at the front door saying no guns or weapons allowed on premises. I haven't seen anyplace else around here with such a sign as this is a fairly gunfriendly state.

Wow; you know, I think if the Palm Desert Toys R Us had that sign, this wouldn't have happened.

Nobody else injured, idiots kill themselves.

Seems like a good deal to me.

Hopefully, they didn't produce offspring.

Honestly - I read this story and it just depressed me. I mean - a Dunkin donuts just got held up here with a worker being shot in the back. The guy got away with like 50 dollars and some donuts. Just unreal..

Not even any coffee? Man, I hear their coffee is to die for.

Sorry.

Yeah, the world's a very scary place.

Authorities are still investigating but indicate the shooting may have been gang related.

Gangs having some sort of new competition? Who can steal the toy fastest?

Seriously, that was the oddest comment.

Read headline on CNN that a Walmart door greeter was also stomped to death.

One door greeter and a pregnant lady(different stores) were trampled. The lady was in critical condition last I heard. There was also a shooting at one of the WalMarts. My wife works at the home office and called me 8am central and told me about them. Apparently WM sent out a company wide email.

That's right, I forgot I read your post about the pregnant lady. Hopefully she'll pull through. Didn't hear about the shooting though.

When I was a kid, I went to a Cardinal/Cubs baseball game at Busch stadium in St. Louis.

During the game, two guys got into an argument over Lou Brock (St. Louis player that was traded from the Cubs).

One got up to take a whiz & the other one followed him into the john & busted a cap in his head.

Go figure.
