Nice that a guy with a mental health history is able to own enough

firepower that police had to warn helicopters to maintain a 3 mile

distance from the shooter.



Ain't Merika beautiful?





"A gunman walked through a neighborhood in Tacoma, Washington and

fired at houses indiscriminately, according to multiple media reports.



No injuries have been reported.



Police contained the gunman within his home. He has refused to

surrender and is believed to have multiple firearms.



Sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer said the man has mental health issues.

He may have been drinking before the incident.



Media helicopters have been ordered to stay 3 miles away.



“His firepower is strong enough to reach the helicopters,” Troyer

said.


To hold helicopters at bay at three miles, the gunman may have been carrying a modified CZ Semi-auto in 9mm. I wonder if his marksmanship had been sharpened by shooting stumps?
