http://www.postchronicle.com/news/original/article_212190150.shtml

A 35-year-old man has been transported to a local hospital in Philadelphia after he was shot at a K-Mart department store.

Police are now confirming that a man, age 35, has been shot several times and was taken to an area hospital for treatment of 'multiple gunshot wounds'

1. *sigh*

Someone help us!

2. Plaxico????

6. Do they sell sweatpants at K-Mart?

I hear he has a hole in his old pair...the nice ones that he wears to "the club"

[Junkdrawer]

3. While the economy was OK, people were pumped full of fear and armed to the teeth....

Now people are losing their jobs and desperation is setting in...

:scared:

[Rebubula]

8. Yeah...

Because NOTHING Like this has ever happened before...

:eyes:

[Wednesdays]

20. So, everything's okay, then?

:shrug:

23. Someone needs to compile the data

and see if this is a statistically significant peak in violence from last year, or if we're all overreacting.

Remember that trend a while back where it seemed every other day another pretty blond girl was being kidnapped? Judging by the news we had hit a major spike in child abductions but the numbers didn't back that interpretation.

9. People armed to the teeth

with nothing to lose. What could possibly go wrong? :sarcasm:

4. War on Christmas

which side was he on?

[TreasonousBastard]

5. Quick! Somone blame this on K-Mart...

instead of on a bunch of lowlife scumbags making up far too large a part of the population in this country.

(Wasn't there a mall shooting somewere on Friday, too? Two women got into a fistfight and their gang brothers backed them up?)

15. Not gonna happen. Now if this had happened at a Walmart instead, we would be inundated

with posts as to the legal and moral responsibility that a big box retailer has to provide a safe shopping environment. :)

[JonQ]

22. Is there any word yet on what kind of deals K-Mart was offering?

We don't want to jump to any conclusions and blame the poor shooter. It's likely the store coerced him in to the shooting by offering him unbelievable deals.

[slackmaster]

10. No word on whether the victim and shooter were arguing over a Blue Light Special

Bummer for all involved. I hope the man recovers fully, and the assailant is brought to justice.

[underpants]

11. UPDATE- happened on the loading dock

Man tried to break up an argument shot 3 times-head, arm and chest

in critic condition

MSNBC actually said , ".. in critical condition at a K-Mart in Philly"

[slackmaster]

14. Thanks, that's terrible

Next time I see people arguing I'll do like the cops and let them wear themselves out before trying to intervene.

[dysfunctional press]

12. "shot several times..." that does it- no more blue-light specials on ammo.

the decision just came down from corporate...

[demodonkey]

13. I went into a Target store last night to get a light bulb and a woman began screaming....

...that she didn't have any money. Could hear her 5-6 aisles away. I have no idea who she was screaming at or why.

I left. Quickly.

[slackmaster]

16. An even bigger question

If she didn't have any money, what the fuck was she doing out shopping?

[Alter Ego]

17. I guess they should have stocked more Wiis.

I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

Fucking A do I hate the holiday shopping season.

[bushmeister0]

18. Too bad all the Philly cops are busy protecting Obama and Palin!

[bushmeister0]

19. Untangle your panties, it's a domestic dispute:

FOX 29:

"Police said the shooting occurred after a girlfriend and her ex-boyfriend began arguing in the parking lot.

After continuing the argument into the store, the ex-boyfriend allegedly pulled out a gun and threatened her, police said.

The man then fired several shots, striking a store manager.

The suspect is described as a 35-year-old black male, 5' 10" wearing a black hat, and a black hoodie

Police and SWAT are on location at that location. At least one local schools - St. Dominic's - is in a lockdown."

21. Damn

there goes the Christmas stress theory.

[underpants]

24. I didn't suggest anything else

get your head out of your panties and re-read the original post

[bushmeister0]

26. Easy there, no one is accusing anyone of anything.

I meant everyone's collective panties, based on all the hyperventilating going on the past few days over the Wal-Muck incident.

The fact that your screen name is underpants is purely coincidental (though, kind of funny).

[rucky]

25. Store manager was shot.

Does it really matter why?
