Mass shooting at Missouri nightclub leaves at least 3 dead


Amass shooting at a Missouri nightclub left three people dead and one in critical condition in the early hours of Sunday morning, police said.

Officers found multiple victims of the Klymax Lounge in Kansas City after they arrived at the scene at 1:26 a.m. local time (2:26 a.m. ET), the Kansas City Police Department said in a statement.

“Two victims were pronounced deceased at the scene,” the statement said. “One of those victims was located outside the lounge and the second was located inside the business.”

It added that three of the victims were transported to hospital but a short time later one of them was pronounced dead.

All of the victims are believed to be adults, the statement said.

“Homicide detectives and crime scene personnel have responded to the scene,” it added. “They will be processing the scene to recover any evidence and speaking to any potential witnesses.”

I've noticed a disturbing trend in shootings. Usually the injured outnumber the dead by at least 2:1 and suicides make up 2/3 of deaths. Now the injured and dead are equal numbers and suicides are also down to half of all deaths. It's not because fewer people are being injured or committing suicide it's because guns are so much more lethal than they once were and there is more intentional homicide.

Gunz, the gift that keeps on giving . . .
