Shocking, but notable only because there were five deaths at the same time. This was only about one quarter (in fact slightly less) of the firearm homicides on an average day.

My first assumption is a Drugs deal gone bad.
Anybody else care to pontificate.
No mention of Assault Weapons or large capacity magazines I see.

There was mention of a (potential innocent?) casualty in a separate unit.
I wonder if that gives pause for thought for all those holding handguns, AR-15's etc for "home self defence" that they'd better be darn sure before they pull the trigger that their kids aren't sleeping in bed on the other side of that matchstick and newspaper "wall" behind the intruder..........

He has passed a check for his concealed carry permit.
So how would the proposed legislation impact this?

I hate it when the police just brush it off as an accident, unfortunate or one of those things.
