  lmao I read two different comments because I got interrupted, and misunderstood the original comment.
  Apologies for my stupid error
context: Man who was fatally shot after firing rifle in Nebraska Target had 13 loaded magazines, police say. No customers or workers were shot in the incident. The gunman, who was shot and killed by police, had an AR-15 style rifle, officials said.
  
  Kind of hard to feel sorry for this guy. >
  
  This seem to be a classic case of suicide by cop if he didn't shoot anyone >
  
  But then why so many magazines? >
  
  I mean, what was he gonna do? Return them to Walmart? Might as well bring it. >
  
  Is this not explicitly suicide by cop? >
  
  Sounds like it.  The man was firing long enough for local police to respond and engage, which had to have been at least a few minutes, and he never hit anyone?  Suicide by cop seems like the most likely explanation. >
  
  3 minutes is what our local news is saying before first cop arrived and engaged. >
  
  Anyone can try to last 3 minutes in a Target without almost physically bumping into someone. He MUST have been avoiding/ not aiming at people. >
  
  Almost all the people I have talked to agree that it's suicide by cop. He should have at least clipped someone. I'm waiting for the info to be released but I have money that all the shots were into the ceiling >
  
  
  Target will provide counseling to workers, it said.
  
  "GET BACK TO WORK." >
  
  He misunderstood the meaning of Target shooting >
  
  Maybe he was just aiming for all the bullseyes? >
  
  Sounds like he intended to go out a mass murder, but when it got right down to it he had enough conscious left not to want to kill anyone and he settled for suicide by cop. >
  
  Interesting take, and out makes sense.  If he wanted to go out suicide by cop one magazine would have been enough. >
  
  Why 13 loaded magazines then?
  Seems incompetent to me. Plan was maybe to be killed by a cop but seems he had plans before that. >
  
  Agreed, loading that many magazines is atleast enough to make you angry at your thumbs. People don't do that to NOT use them at some.point >
  
  Except the latest I heard was that he was inside the store for six minutes before police arrived and killed him. In that time no one was injured, and I've been hearing mixed reports about how many shots he even fired. One comment from a witness said they heard five shots, another said they heard only one and thought it was just someone dropping something until people started running. I haven't seen any police statement yet about how many shots were fired, so take that all with a grain of salt. 
  But it seems almost impossible that someone could walk in the front door of a store and not injure a single person if that was their goal.
  Edit: Pictures were just posted by the Omaha police and I don't see him carrying the 13 magazines that were originally claimed. He's just in a sweatshirt and jeans and carrying the rifle. >
  
  Years ago a guy walked into a VA hospital with a shotgun and walked around with it for hours until he found the Doctor he was looking for and killed him. >
  
  For hours?! And no one called the police or anything or was this a Uvalde situation? >
  
  If it helps the description they gave isn’t what happened. The dude brought a shotgun into the VA ER (idk if concealed by his wheelchair or what), then had a mental break and started firing after suddenly getting agitated. Nobody died. They might be confusing multiple cases here since there was a VA shotgun shooting in ‘97 but they just went straight in and immediately killed the doctor then themselves.
  So nah, nobody just casually walked around the VA armed and dangerous for hours unopposed. >
  
  Some cops just scored free ammo! >
  
  It's like Fallout loot in real life! >
  
  Way to go trooper! Saved lives no doubt. >
  
  This sounds like textbook suicide-by-cop with 3 minutes of firing inside a crowded store and no injuries. Sounds like dude was just creating a reason for deadly force without injuring anyone else.
  Obviously it was still traumatic to the other shoppers there and a bad decision all around, but it doesn't seem like he was there to kill anyone, or he was literally blind and deaf. >
  
  Same thing a couple years back in Nebraska. Guy shot up a sale barn one night. The Sheriff refused to shoot him so he shot himself. >
  
  Nothing to see here. People should be able to own an arsenal of weapons & ammunition... cause, muh rights. /s >
  
  The thing I really appreciate about our gun laws is that there's no wiggle room. You're legally exercising your rights until the moment you deserve to be executed by cops, and there's absolutely nothing we can possibly do about it. >
  
  That's a hell of an admission to make >
  
  lol you think that's a pro-2A take to make fun of how ambiguous but absolute our laws are?
