6 Shot getting off school bus in Las Vegas

Post by BruteForce »

Six young people were shot at about 2 p.m. in a northeast Las Vegas neighborhood Tuesday after they stepped off a bus that had left a high school. Authorities say at least one person was critically injured in the attack, which happened just blocks away from two elementary schools.

It's getting ugly out there. Although I have a CCW, I've yet to seriously start carrying, but with this recent spat of shootings, I'm thinking it's time to start in the event that I have to return fire. :roll:

True it may not have stopped this shooting, but some returning lead towards the shooter would have ruined his day too.

Holy shit. What the FUCK is going on out there????

Targeting kids? Damn.

Ok, as for carrying concealed... if you don't do it, START. Practice, practice and practice some more. Get a good SECURE holster... and practice with it. I wear a Crossbreed IWB called a "Super Tuck Delux".

I was just thinking the same thing, veteran Brute Force. I do not want to be saying to myself, "I wish I had my pistol!" if (when!?!?!) the time comes that it's needed.

I wonder if this is going to turn out to be some copy-cat thing...

Local Las Vegas news is confirming this was not a random act of violence and the shooters knew and were targeting the victims.

The event was supposedly sparked over a 'boyfriend-girlfriend break-up dispute'. :roll:

No woman is worth hurting kids. Other guys maybe but not kids.

You know, I'm not even shocked by this at all...not even a little bit. Scary times.
