Multiple people down in shooting at Colorado Walmart: police

Nov 1 (Reuters) - Multiple people were shot on Wednesday at a Walmart in Thornton, Colorado, local police said in a post on Twitter.

Police did not release information about any victims and it was not clear if an assailant had been taken into custody.

"Shooting just occurred at Walmart, 9900 Grant St, multiple parties down. Please stay away from the area," the Thornton Police Department said on Twitter.

Reports of shots fired came out shortly before 6:30 p.m. Mountain Time, a police spokesman told local 9NEWS in Denver.

Regardless of the nationality, country of origin, religion, or ethnicity of the shooter, this is an act of terrorism just as horrendous as the recent NYC incident.

White males shooting many people falls under the "lone wolf" category.

All violence committed by Muslims is terror.

And the good terrorists are, incredibly enough, white males when they are conservatives.

Also remember that it is much too soon to discuss any regulation of any firearms.

to quickly ID the suspect on CCTV

Police say startled shoppers at the Colorado Walmart where a shooter opened fire and killed three stalled the search process after they drew their own handguns in defense.

The shoppers' immediate response to the violent event 'absolutely slowed' investigation as it left authorities scanning through surveillance tapes in pursuit of the single armed attacker.

The innocent yet armed individuals were eventually weeded out as suspects, amid the several hour-long investigation which began Wednesday night and into Thursday morning.

policemen's little helpers drawing their weapons every time a firecracker goes off. Concealed carry is a public health menace, and should be outlawed everywhere for anyone but qualified, vetted, and trained law enforcement officers.
