There was a mass shooting in Seattle today also, just read an article. Don't know WTF is going on with people.

SEATTLE (AP) - People screamed and ran as ten people were injured in a shooting Saturday at a crowded suburban Seattle parking lot, authorities and witnesses said.
The gunfire broke out at a low-rider car show at La Plaza shopping center on Pacific Highway in Kent, and victims were taken to the hospital, said Kent Fire Department Lt. Pat Pawlak.
Harborview Medical Center spokeswoman Susan Gregg said ten people were admitted to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
"They're all in satisfactory condition," she said. "All conscious and talking."
She said ages of the wounded ranged from 14 to 32. The victims, she said, were hit on a foot, leg and chest, among other places.
There were no reported fatalities and no one has been arrested.
Kent police Sgt. Jarod Kasner said the shootings may have been gang-related, and that the gang unit has been called on the scene.
Adriana Velazco, a manager at a Los Cabos Mexican Restaurant in the shopping center, said she saw two people on the ground after the shooting. She said that she didn't hear the gunshots but was told by an off-duty police officer dining at the restaurant to hide in the back of the restaurant along with patrons.
"We saw people running all over the place," Velazco said. "People were knocking on the door of restaurant but we weren't allowed to open the door."
The car show, listed as La Raza low-rider car show on a Latino events website, was in the parking lot of the shopping center, which is located along the busy Pacific Highway. Kent is about 20 miles south of Seattle. The city is a mix of suburban developments and older industrial centers.

through eyes of love I see I'm really lookin' at a friend
We've all had our problems that's the way life is,
my heart goes out to others who are there to make amends".

According to the reports there was a fight before the shooting started. It may have only been a short fight or a short while between shouting and shoving before pulling iron but you see a sign and you have to act. Get out of the area, identify your exits, collect your people and account for them, put on your serious and concerned face and used your "don't ask me why" voice.
My wife knows just by looking at me when my hairs start to go up. If you feel like you are in the wrong place you are. It is called refusing to be a victim.
My wife and I were in Barcelona walking down La Ramblas when we heard a comotion like a fight was breaking out. We are not lookyloos, I grabbed my wife and we went the other direction. Sure as shit a brawl broke out and as the masses were heading towards it, we were heading away.Fuck you. We're going to Costco.
