A suspected gunman is reportedly in custody on Monday after allegedly opening fire at a Department of Veterans Affairs medical complex in Dayton, Ohio.

Local media reported that police were notified of a gunman close to 12:15 p.m. local time Monday afternoon.

Details are still emerging, but WDTN reported soon after that multiple crews were en route to Dayton’s VA Medical Center were several buildings were being evacuated upon news of an active shooter situation, while others were being put in lock down as police searched door-to-door, according to WHIO.

Nicole Grigg, a reporter for ABC 22/Fox 45 in Dayton, tweeted from the scene that police believe the suspect may be carrying a revolver. Another witness told WDTN moments later that no fewer than 30-40 police officers had swarmed one of the VA buildings, and that law enforcement personnel from several other agencies, including the Federal bureau of Investigation and a SWAT team, were on site.

1. Another law abiding citizen I presume...

[CTyankee]

4. where are our friends from the RKBA group? Why are they not here?

What happened?

Come out, come out, wherever you are!

[hack89]

6. What would you like to talk about? Nt

[CTyankee]

10. well, hi there!

I was just wondering if you had any comment on the latest shoot 'em up! Or has there been a few more since this report?

[hack89]

11. Horrible crime, hope the guy spends a long time in jail.

I am sure you feel the same.

[CTyankee]

12. gee whiz, I sure hope they don't let him get his hands on another one when he gets out...

[hack89]

13. Felons cannot legally own guns - but you knew that.

but I would certainly support UBCs and all efforts to crack down on illegal gun sales.

[CTyankee]

14. Sure, I knew that.

I'm sighing with relief. Too bad about the folks getting shot, tho...oh, well...they'll feel better once you remind them that felons can't legally get a gun...

[hack89]

15. So what would you like to do short of banning all guns?

I suspect there is not much difference in what we both support.

[CTyankee]

16. What I want and what you say you want isn't at all possible in this country.

I hope Bloomberg's campaign does some good, but I suspect he'll be hit with every slam the NRA and its minions can muster, if they haven't started already. The fact that he's short, Jewish and a New Yorker will, unfortunately, be in that mix...

[hack89]

17. The fact that Bloomberg is a repuke 1%er

and the head of his "grassroots" movement is a former PR shill for Monsanto should also be of concern to any Democrat.

But I guess when you are anti-gun you can't be choosy about your friends. So tell me, do you support Bloomberg's stated intent to actively oppose the reelection of incumbent Democrats who do not agree with him on guns? Will you donate money knowing it will be used against Dems?

[CTyankee]

18. You know the "broken clock, twice a day" thingie?

However, we'll see how this plays out, won't we?

[hack89]

19. So you will support Bloomberg when he opposes Dems. Ok. nt

[CTyankee]

20. You need to be more careful with those conclusion leaps you make...

you might hurt yourself...

[hack89]

21. So you will drop all support for Bloomberg's organization if they attack Dems?

not a hard question.

[CTyankee]

22. I dunno know why you care what I support and what I don't....after all, I'm a Dem.

[hack89]

23. You are supporting a repuke billionaire that has promised to go after Dem incumbents

if you can't see how fucked up that is, I can't help you. Why would a Dem want to keep Dems from being reelected?

[CTyankee]

24. See, we dems can put pressure on some of our less enlightened dems.

We don't always agree on everything. But I can see why you would want to do everything you could to keep Mike Bloomberg from making any headway for gun safety....yes, that is very clear.

[hack89]

25. Pressure = defeating Dems in elections. And you think that is a good idea?

I don't need to do anything to stop Bloomberg - his movement will succeed or fail on its own merits. History says it will fail - if support for gun control is as strong as you believe it is, there would be no need for a billionaire funded "movement" - it would have spontaneously risen decades ago when gun violence was much worse. You will discover that support for gun control is wide but very shallow - it is not a high priority for voters. Which is why it will not be a major issue in the 2014 and 2016 campaigns.

[CTyankee]

26. for an issue you say will fail, you sure get wrapped around the axle with Bloomberg...

if you think it's gonna fail so much, then why do you even CARE what Mike B. does? If I felt as you say you do, I'd just step aside, step back and watch it fail...

[hack89]

27. You brought Bloomberg into the conversation. I thought you wanted to talk about him

Are you saying that it was not a good faith request to engage in meaningful discussion?

If I was wrapped around the axle about him, don't you think I would be initiating threads about him?

[CTyankee]

28. It is fine to talk about Bloomberg and how he feels about guns and Dems.

I think he disagrees with Obama on the gun issue, but so do I and I voted for him twice. That doesn't mean I don't still disagree on that issue. Why don't we wait and see what Mike actually DOES?

Oh, and here's an interesting piece on how Mr. B's campaign might actually benefit Senate Dems in 2014

[hack89]

30. As long as he doesn't attack pro-gun incumbent Senators

we will see what his true colors are soon enough.

[Hoyt]

31. Too bad you don't attack NRA and other right wing gun groups with same ferver.

[hack89]

32. That's nice Hoyt. Good to hear from you again. nt

[Skittles]

8. oh they'll be here, but they'll wonder what the problem is

fucking stupid assholes

[mikeysnot]

9. They run from every fact

so they will only respond to bad anti-gun posters, etc..

Like this one..

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — A Veterans Affairs hospital employee and a retired worker were struggling over a gun in a break room Monday when the firearm went off, leading to the employee's shooting and the retiree's arrest, police said.

The victim, a 61-year-old man, was shot once in the ankle, said Dayton Police Chief Richard Biehl. The suspect, Neil Moore, 59, was taken into custody after seeking psychiatric treatment at a different hospital a few miles away, Biehl said.

...


Moore worked in housekeeping before retiring, said Glenn Costie, chief executive of the hospital. He did not have any other details about Moore's employment history.

The FBI said a revolver was found inside the suspect's vehicle. A woman who answered the phone at Moore's house in suburban Dayton said the family had no comment and wouldn't give her name.

5. Typical misery in my hometown of Dayton, Ohio.

Sounds like a personal conflict issue between the two men. I'll hear more as things unfold.
