Apologies for typo in the header - the shooting occurred after, not at, the carnival.

In retrospect it was probably pointless of me to post this. Not only did the shootings take place at after the carnival ended, but such injuries as were reported seem to have been caused by a pellet gun.

Not a terrorist incident.

Not a gangland-type shooting.

Just meh.

Sorry.
