    opened the door to a vehicle she thought was hers,
    only to find a man sitting in the passenger seat.

    Heather Roth said she was trying to apologize to the man
    when he got out of the passenger door...
    “He just threw his hands up, and then
    he pulled out a gun and he just started
    shooting at all of us,” Roth said, fighting tears.

    One of the cheerleaders is in hospital in critical condition
    after having her spleen removed in emergency surgery.

    A 25 year old male suspect is in custody.

    These kids are so backasswards that when a cheerleader tries to get in their car, their first reaction is to shoot her.

    When I was 25, if a random chick would've tried to get in my car, I would have just taken it as confirmation that I was favored by God. I would've at least spit some game, even if I got shot down. I would've at least exchanged Myspaces. These dudes though? Texas, man....

    Geez, these girls were legit kids. All these recent high profile shootings have been innocent kids. And the dude looks like a Tango, at the risk of sounding prejudiced.

    Right!!! Everybody should be packing in Texas including all the high school cheerleaders! 

    Because every rational adult must understand:  more guns = far less gun violence!

     

    It's amazing how the stupid Dems just don't understand this fact.

    I mean what could possibly go wrong?

    History shows that an armed population doesn't prevent tyranny in government.  Instead an armed population is typically a way to tyranny.  How armed a population is has no bearing on how free a country is.

    Agreed thirdperson,

    More guns equals more death. Greater numbers of guns corresponds to higher rates of homicide.*

    Ok

    So let's execute the guy who shot the cheerleaders and move on

    Removing guns is still NOT the answer to all your dilemmas

    There's trash that touches the guns that need to learn fateful lessons

     

    POS bum with many convictions hit a NY police woman in head with bottle

    Should we ban bottles...or lock away and execute pieces of shit? Which works better?

    Too bad the DA won't put the shooter to death like you'd agree with. Guy will probably get let out on his word that he will be a better citizen moving forward. I mean, we can't keep him behind bars, how else is the guy going to contribute positively to society like the scholar he shot was.

    Delusion that armed individuals and not the state, represent the ultimate guarantee of safety and freedom.  Stanford University study found that states that pass right to carry gun laws saw 15% increase in violent crime.  No data shows reduction in overall violent crime. 

    If those cheerleaders were armed, they might shoot back in self defense.  Possibly worsening this tragedy.  A good guy with a gun isn't always a guy good with a gun.  When guns are everywhere, more people are capable of violence.  In a society governed by fear, violence can break out at any time.

    Studies show that the DAs do not prosecute at a high enough rate to deter crime. EVERY US CITIZEN WANTS HARSHER PUNISHMNETS ON CRIMINALS. US CITIZENS WANT ANYONE CAUGHT WITH AN ILLEGAL GUN TO BE PROSECCUATED TO THE FULLEST. ALL US CITIZENS WANTS CRIMINALS PUT BEHIND BARS FOR LONGER THAN THE CURRENT RATES. US CITIZENS ARE TIRED OF WATCHING CRIMINALS BE RELEASED AND PUT BACK INTO SOCIETY.

    I was giving a sarcastic response to the people who's answers to the gun violence problems is always,"we need a good guy with a gun,to stop a bad guy with a gun".Of course I don't think the answer to the gun violence problem we have is to have a couple cheerleaders pulling a loaded firearm out of their spankies to return fire.

    Mass shooting in Texas.

     

    CNN; The sheriff said he "believes" the victims are from Honduras. Capers said authorities have a copy of the suspect’s consulate card and are looking for him. CNN has reached out to authorities for more information.

    THE WHOLE TRUTH; https://www.facebook.com/bluebonnetnews/videos/751970779927259

     

    FOX NEWS; Capers told Bluebonnet News that the victims WERE from Honduras. The suspected shooter is a "Mexican male from Mexico." The sheriff's office has a copy of his consular identification card. 

    THE WHOLE SHERIFF'S STATEMENT IS RIGHT THERE ON VIDEO. FUNNY HOW CNN CHANGED IT TO "SHERIFF BELIEVES VICTIMS ARE FROM HONDURAS. NO, HE SAID THEY WERE. AND THEN CNN OMITS THE MEXICAN MALE FROM MEXICO PART. an_light

    Now that would make Joe look bad with open borders, gotta twist it and soften it best we can. an_wink

    CNN reaches out for more information as they do not post the information they already have. an_light

    How about the Associated Press!!!

    They too say the Sheriff "believes" the victims are from Honduras. BUT THEY GO ONE STEP FURTHER!

    "A Texas man went next door with a rifle and began shooting his neighbors"

    That's right folks, not the MEXICAN MAN FROM MEXICO, IT'S NOW A TEXAS MAN. lieTHE AP LIES.

    ABC and USAToday did report it correct and with the information the sheriff provided.

    NPR DID NOT. https://www.npr.org/2023/04/29/1172894220/cleveland-texas-houston-shooting-deaths

    The above is just a small example of the lack of credible journalism seen today. an_light

     

    And I feel for the dead and survivors who came here to try and find a better place only to be killed by another who came here with the mentality those good folks were trying to escape from. Open borders will do that!

    5 people fatally shot, including 8-year-old, in Texas rampage that started with a noise complain…..He believed it is right to take care of complaints, in Texas mind he was obviously balanced enough to own a gun!
