As many as six people may have been killed at a manufacturing plant in Kansas on Thursday by a man who drove through at least two towns shooting a gun out his car window, the police said.
T. Walton, the sheriff of Harvey County, told reporters that the shooting occurred at a factory owned by Excel Industries, a company that makes riding mowers and other lawn care equipment, in Hesston.
He said that four to seven people, including the gunman, had been killed and that as many as 30 more were injured. The gunman was killed by law enforcement officers at the scene, he said.
We have numerous people shot inside the building, we have a number of people killed inside the building, the sheriff said at a news conference. I dont have an exact count for you right now.

With live reports, lots of press coverage.
Now, nothing. Same old, same old, biz as usual.
WTF is wrong with our country?
It breaks my heart that mass shootings have become the new norm.
6 more people are dead and many others are injured.
This has got to stop!
