Guns.
Good God.

Guns in hands of good men. Thank God.

WGNTV reporting 12 civilians shot ...

Presser at 5 was changed to 4:30 was delayed back to 5 - in a couple of minutes... ETA ABC13 just said 5:30.

ETA The additional delay is due to waiting for the Governor to arrive.

(I hate to post inaccurate info, but it's only as good as the media tells us. Sorry.)

 

[cybervampira]

Waiting for the mayor and governor. Will be talking about civilian casualties at presser.

AURORA, Ill. (AP) — A gunman opened fire at a suburban Chicago industrial park Friday, killing at least one person and wounding four police officers before he was “neutralized,” officials said.

Chris Nelson, spokesman for the Kane County coroner’s office, confirmed at least one person was killed. Aurora city spokesman Clayton Muhammad said four officers were wounded and in stable condition, but did not say if they were shot.

Muhammad also told ABC7 that the suspect had been “neutralized.” He did not elaborate.

Hospitals reported treating at least seven patients from the shooting, though their conditions weren’t released.
