He may be someone who knows he will be celebrated as a hero on alt right sites. Maybe he wanted to be alive so he could enjoy it.

Are there shotguns that fire more than two at a time without refilling them ??

like can a shotgun be converted to a machine gun like all the rest if these ?

It varies

Normal common shotguns typically hold 5 or 6 shells.

Some single shot shotguns hold one shell.

Double barrel shotguns usually hold 2 shells and some can fire both shells at same time.

Special shotguns can have a magazine with a larger limit like this one that has a 12 shot magazine.

Lots of shotguns have a plug in them that limits to 3 shells because of hunting regulations. The plugs can be manually removed.

Normal shotguns usually are either semi-automatic or a manual pump action to get the next shell into the chamber

Most shotguns would not be fully automatic unless someone modifies one somehow. But another way
that a shotgun can be converted to shoot almost like a fully automatic is with those "bump stocks" that we have heard about before. There are videos of people that have done that on shotguns.

msnbc number deceased is not right

 

[Jax49]

MSNBC reporting five fatalities is not accurate, per LE. Do not know if higher or lower.

At least 5 killed in shooting at Maryland newspaper | CBC News

"In an interview with the Capital Gazettte's online site, Davis said it "was like a war zone" inside the offices — a situation that would be "hard to describe for a while."

"I'm a police reporter. I write about this stuff — not necessarily to this extent, but shootings and death — all the time," he said.

"But as much as I'm going to try to articulate how traumatizing it is to be hiding under your desk, you don't know until you're there and you feel helpless."

Davis told the paper he and others were still hiding under their desks when the shooter stopped firing. "I don't know why. I don't know why he stopped," he said."

Why does this make you think a disgruntled employee or domestic??

I think it will be a case that media was targeted. Nothing personal. Just any media

This is my guess as well. Usually disgruntled employees are quickly named by coworkers. And if a former spouse or girlfriend was the target why were so many others shot?

 

[neesaki]

Just horrible, the world has gone mad.

 

[Jennifer17]

Well, if it was media targeted, would that not be an act of terrorism?

 

[angelainwi]

No matter if the media was targeted or just your normal every day white male shooting, I think they are both terrorism.

A shotgun shoots one shell, filled with BB's, at a time. Most shotguns have a capacity of six, but i am sure they can be rigged to hold more shells.

It is nothing like a machine gun, and can't be made one.

In my experience, a shotgun is a relatively slow gun. Makes me think it was all he had access to.

Press conference starting.

ETA: Still saying five deceased.

Armed guards at Huffington Post, New York Times since there is sense that this is an attack on the media.
