Don't know if this counts as a mass shooting but 3 dead...

A 59 year old bloke decides to go on a rampage. Goes to town centre then approaches cop from behind. Shoots him with shotgun then shoots up police car then fires shots into the air.

Goes back to his truck to get AR15 presumably to have fire fight with arriving cops but a citizen with a gun shoots him. Hero bloke then picks up bad guys gun but then gets shot dead by new cop.

Three dead, three shooters, three minutes.

I think a mass shooting is defined as 4 or more dead. So this is just another normal incident in the good Ole US of A.

It's what happens when you've got a population of coffee drinkers. Makes them all a bit simple in the head.

Let's face it, if we had the same gun laws over here, we'd very likely be seeing similar events.

Has to be New Year's? Heard recordings of people letting off automatic weapons on New Year in LA some time ago (on a Zappa album funnily enough)

Supposedly a gang clash. Police have a gun shot microphone system in Oakland and from time to time they release clips of what an evening in west Oakland sounds like. Sounds like this video.

It's exactly how my neighbourhood sounds on NYE.

I was live streaming it this year when my little old neighbour popped out of his house with an AR15, fired a quick burst into the sky then went back in again 😆

Every NYE in Oakland, someone ends up taking a round to the top of their head when the bullets return to earth.
