I was told he got grazed in the hand and not one of the ones who's dead so he must have put his hands up before the shot went off
I saw the video, that image with the laser pointing at the player is beyond disturbing.
well, right now i know one of the motives people are gonna run with until we get more info since apparently...

The shooter was a gamer who was competing in the tournament and lost, according to Steven Steveyj Javaruski, one of the competitors.
...he was in the tournament too.
unknown whether him losing is a factor or not.
It's great that in the US you can be at any public event and it's a reasonable worry to think "i hope no one suddenly comes in here and shoots the place up"
Entirely preventable, as are all future mass shootings, but nothing will be done because America.

No. Not until something actually gets done to prevent this. Silence is just letting it continue to happen.

You can't go anywhere without somebody trying to score political points off of this. "Melt the guns!" "If they're white they'll make excuses, if they're not then there'll be a racist bent!" "The mall should allow concealed carry!"
Let the bodies get cold before you start this crap.
How long are people supposed to wait before talking about wanting change, exactly?
Just curious.
The "now is not the time to debate this" argument is long gone.
This garbage happens so often that it is always the time to debate it and push the issue until something is done.
where was the "wait til the body is cold" crap when mollie tibbets died?
unless you're against all guns
Also, I know shooting are happening a lot, but the United States is huge and there are so many "public events" that go on, that it's still lightning in a bottle, powerball lottery winning bad luck to be present at a mass shooting event.
I think what some people are saying is, let's wait until we actually get some facts. What kind of guns were used. How did they get them. etc. I feel like being able to talk about something specific, like the stock bump debate for example, is far more effective than just talking about gun control abstractly.

With that being said, I have noticed that over the past year or so, anytime I attend a large event with lots of people, especially when the people are all bunched together, I do have a momentary thought of "gee, I hope a mass shooting doesn't happen here". And I honestly never had those thoughts before.
I think there's room for making significant gun control changes in this country, while still keeping the right to bear arms. Unfortunately, due the politicized environment of politics these days, I don't see any real change happening soon.
that has been solved elsewhere.

I realize this is a bit hyperbolic, but you do realize there were 2,572 victims of mass shootings just last year alone, right. And that's only wounded/killed, that doesn't include just being present at a mass shooting event.
That's a liiiiittle bit worse than "powerball lottery winning bad luck"
