Quote:One killed, 12 wounded in shooting in Brownsville, Brooklyn

One person died and 11 others were wounded in a shooting near a Brooklyn playground on Saturday night, police said.

New York police said Sunday that there were two shooters and two guns but no arrests have been made.

"We had a terrible shooting in Brownsville tonight that shattered a peaceful neighborhood event," New York Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted soon after the incident.

"Our hearts go out to the victims," he added. "We will do everything in our power to keep this community safe and get guns off our streets."

NBC New York reported that it appeared the attack took place during an annual community event called Oldtimers Day. Though the festival was nearing its end, about 100 officers were still in the area when the shooting occurred, police said.

n unidentified 38-year-old man had died at an area hospital after being shot in the head. Another man is in critical condition, police said.

NBC New York reported that as many as 12 people were hit in the 11 p.m. shooting. Six of those injured were men and five were women, all ranging between 21 and 55 years old.

Quote:8 killed, 40 wounded in Chicago weekend shootings

At least 48 people were shot — eight fatally — in incidents of gun violence within city limits over the weekend.

Shootings escalated as the weekend went on: Nine people were wounded Friday after 5 p.m., 15 were shot Saturday and Sunday saw 24 people shot.

On Sunday, a 3-year-old boy died from what Chicago police said may be an accidental gunshot wound in South Deering.

Family members told police they were in another room in the 9600 block of South Escanaba when they heard a gunshot at about 4:15 p.m., CPD spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. They rushed to see what happened and found the boy with the gun. He suffered a gunshot wound to the face, police said.

Family members took the boy to Trinity Hospital where he was pronounced dead, Guglielmi said.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office hasn’t provided details about his death.

The Department of Children and Family Services has been called in to assist police investigations, Guglielmi said.

Quote:Two children killed in shooting that left gunman dead at Gilroy Garlic Festival in San Francisco Bay Area

A young boy, a teenage girl and a young man were killed in a mass shooting at a Northern California garlic festival that left a dozen other people wounded, police said Monday. The 19-year-old gunman, who also died in the Sunday evening shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival, bought his "AK-47-type" weapon legally in Nevada, Gilroy's police chief said.

The deceased victims were identified by officials as 6-year-old Stephen Luciano Romero of San Jose, 13-year-old Keyla Salazar and Trevor Irby, who the police said was in his 20s. The medical examiner's office identified Romero overnight, and Irby was identified Monday by the president of his alma mater, Keuka College in upstate New York.

During a Monday morning press conference, Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee confirmed the gunman has been identified as Santino William Legan, 19. The police chief said investigators haven't found a motive for the shooting.

"Anytime a life is lost it's a tragedy, and when it's young people it's even worse, and it's very difficult," Smithee told reporters. "... It seems that this was a random act, but, again, we've got a long way to go before we can come to a determination what his motivation was."

Smithee told reporters in a late-night briefing that Gilroy officers engaged the gunman within a minute of shots ringing out and killed him.

For some of the far left kooks, the narrative already has changed. Full on confiscation is the end game. Look at how they wet themselves over England, Australia, and New Zealand's ridiculous anti-gun laws. It must suck for them knowing that old amendment # 2 is written into the Bill of Rights.

I don’t watch CNN and I’m not about to start but solid deflection. I guess it is ok to politicize tragedies when it’s convenient. Thanks for that info!

Not a solid deflection. It's a rebuttal to your quip. If you don't want to have debate or talk, please review the AUP and you may want to crawl back under the rock you were under Jon.

I’m not quite sure what rock you are referring to but I did use the walkway under Ayala ave today so maybe that’s it?

Bringing up CNNs coverage of different topics does absolutely nothing to address my point about the fact that if someone had blamed the Cali shooting referenced above on Nevada’s gun laws, that person would have been jumped on (for good reason) for politicizing a tragedy. It’s not a rebuttal it’s a blatant deflection. Sad you tried to argue that.

So I take it you are in favor of politicizing tragedies when it’s convenient as well? That’s cute!

Except this isn't politicizing tragedy. It's using tragedy as a gauge for the ridiculous depths you loons are willing to sink to in impinging my rights while ignoring the dynamics of such tragedies as exist in your own back yards.
