The 21-year-old coward who went to a predominately black church in Charleston South Carolina on Wednesday and murdered 9 people as they prayed in what was supposed to be a peaceful sanctuary, was captured toady in North Carolina and has since been extradited back to South Carolina. Below is President Obama’s statement on these senseless killings.

It seems the two men were arguing over a parking spot in the Elementary school parking lot when our trigger happy, NRA approved gun owner, pulled his manhood gun and pointed it at the other man. But of course, the coward drove off before the police arrived on scene.
Police eventually caught up with him and the 31-year-old Parker man, Wyatt Mayers, was arrested.
Parker Police were called to Iron Horse Elementary School in the Hidden River subdivision around 3:25 p.m.
Police say two men got into a verbal dispute over the space when Wyatt Mayes allegedly pointed a handgun at the other man and then drove away before officers arrived.
Mayes was later located and booked into the Douglas County Jail on charges of menacing and unlawful possession of a weapon on school grounds.
Police say Iron Horse Elementary did not go on lockdown status, because Mayes had left the area.
That they cannot see something is terribly wrong and contradictory with bringing their guns to Church, shows just how mentally deranged these gun – fanatics really are.
In the middle of Sunday services, where God is supposed to be praised and where love is celebrated, a gun stored in someone’s pocket went off, grazing another man’s head… in church… during Sunday services!
The firearm’s safety was off and the trigger caught on the man’s pocket, firing off a shot and grazing the man’s hand, according to television station WTAE.
“I immediately took a step back and was about to take cover,” Jason Wagler, who was attending service at Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament, told the station.
“You never know if you’re safe anymore in this world. It’s a shame to know you can’t go into church without having something like this happen,” he said.
Wagler caught video on his phone of one man sat in a pew, flanked by two women appearing to care for him.
He said he also noticed that the man handed the gun off to someone else, who attempted to conceal the weapon in a church booklet amid the chaos.
“He immediately concealed it in a white program, so I took pictures of the gun inside this program,” Wagler said.
Authorities have not released the name of the man they suspect mistakenly fired the gun. WTAE reported that he was driven to to hospital.
But wait… guns dont kill people, right?
The man was drinking with friends in the area of 4600 West and Dunsmore Way and showing them his gun at the time of the fatal accident, said West Valley police spokeswoman Roxanne Vainuku.
The man took the magazine out of the gun and pulled the trigger while pointing it at his own throat, Vainuku said. Emergency workers responded to the scene about 7:45 p.m.
The man’s name wasn’t immediately released Friday night.
Vainuku said all indications are that the shooting was accidental.
He didn’t appear to express any sort of suicidal thoughts. … At this point it looks like a simple accident,” she said.
Nobody else was hurt in the incident.
“Never point a gun at another person – even if you have the magazine out of the gun, as we see with that incident tonight,” Vainuku said. “It turned out to be a deadly decision.”
I have no clue why guns should be allowed in schools. We all know they’re not going to learn anything, but Republicans obviously think guns will benefit somehow if they’re allowed in schools. Or maybe it’s the NRA that benefits.
The bill, supported by leaders of the Republican-led House, would repeal “gun-free zones” carved out around elementary and secondary schools, as well as colleges and universities.
Passed on a 42-17 vote, the measure also would grant concealed-carry permit holders the right to take their guns into meetings of the state Legislature and local government meetings.
The bill must clear the Republican-controlled state Senate before it can be submitted to Governor Matt Mead, also a Republican, for his signature or veto. Mead has in recent years sought to welcome firearms-related companies to Wyoming by promoting it as a gun-friendly state
A Sniper? Or maybe the toddler just figured out how to hit two birds with one stone. In any case, the single bullet fired by the toddler hit his father in the buttocks, then hit his mother in her shoulder.
Albuquerque police say the toddler apparently reached for an iPod but found the loaded weapon.
The bullet first struck his father in the buttock and then hit the shoulder of his mother, who is eight months pregnant. His 2-year-old sister was present but unhurt.
Local media reports say police believe Saturday’s shooting was accidental.
Police said in a statement that the father was treated and released, while the mother was hospitalized in stable condition. They will be investigated for possible negligence charges.
The Albuquerque Journal reports that the family was living in the motel room where the shooting occurred.
Police say child care officials are taking care of the children.
Whatever happened to the days when an unruly student is sent to the principal’s office or held for detention. Those days are dead, buried and forgotten in The Lone state of Texas!
According to a new bill introduced by Rep. Dan Flynn, a Republican in the Texas legislature, teachers would now have the right to shoot and kill students in the classroom, on the school grounds or at any school sponsored event.
Oh the calamity!
The Lone Star State already permits teachers to have firearms in the classroom, but H.B. 868, also known as the Teacher’s Protection Act, would authorize instructors to use “force or deadly force on school property, on a school bus, or at a school-sponsored event in defense of the educator’s person or in defense of students of the school that employs the educator.” Instructors would also have the right to use deadly force “in defense of property of the school that employs the educator.” Moreover, civil immunity would be granted to those who use deadly force, meaning they would not be liable for the injury or death of student.
And this nutjob, Flynn, is a real nutjob. Thinkprogress reports that he is one of the state’s staunchest gun-rights advocates who previously co-authored legislation to allow firearms on college campuses. In 2013, he successfully co-authored a law that reduced the minimum number of training hours needed for a concealed handgun license.
Police said she entered the police station “brandishing a weapon,” so that apparently meant the three grown men with guns felt threatened enough to gun down the 17 year old mentally challenged girl in the lobby of the police station.
Police said that Kristiana Coignard entered Longview’s police station at 6.30pm on Thursday and asked to speak with an officer through the lobby courtesy phone. The teenager was still in the lobby of the police station when, according to police, she threatened the officers while wielding a weapon — reportedly a knife — and was shot “multiple times,” according to a local official.
Exactly what led three male officers to shoot Coignard dead is still unclear. The Longview police department has not released any further statements on the events.
Kristie Brian, spokeswoman for Longview Police, said that footage of the incident does exist, but is not available to the public, nor are records of the brief call Coignard made from the police department’s lobby. Brian did not confirm what type of weapon Coignard was allegedly threatening the officers with.
Heather Robertson, Coignard’s aunt, told ThinkProgress that her niece, who was living with her in Longview, had mental illness issues since her mother died when she was four. Robertson added that Coignard attempted suicide various times, but was taking medications, and that she did not have a criminal record or a history of violent behavior toward others.
“I think it was a cry for help,” Robertson said. “I think they could have done something. They are grown men. I think there is something they are not telling us.”
Another victory for the NRA. Kansas lawmakers have introduced a bill that will make it legal for anyone to carry a concealed gun even if that person has no permit.
Just another way to get a gun into the hands of anyone who wants one. Criminals are all welcome.
Twenty-six of the Kansas Senate’s 40 members introduced a bill Wednesday to end the permitting requirement. The lead sponsor is Majority Leader and Nickerson Republican Terry Bruce.
Bruce said it makes sense to allow people to carry concealed guns without a permit because they already can carry firearms openly. He said the measure advances gun rights.
Lawmakers last year prohibited cities and counties from restricting the open carrying of firearms, though state law didn’t ban the practice. The state has issued concealed carry permits since 2007
And once again, another killing, sanctioned and approved by the no-regulations-more-guns NRA and the foot soldiers of the NRA, Republican party.
The mother called 911 to say her 5-year-old boy shot his baby brother with a paintball gun.
But it wasn’t a paintball gun. It was a .22-caliber Magnum revolver. And the 9-month-old boy didn’t survive.
Authorities are trying to figure out what led to Monday’s shooting in Elmo, in the northwest corner of Missouri.
“At this point foul play is not suspected, and it appears at this time that the shooting was accidental,” the Nodaway County Sheriff’s Office said.
Sheriff Darren White told CNN affiliate KCTV that the baby was in a playpen when his brother found the gun lying around a bed.
When emergency crews arrived, they found the infant had been shot in the head. The child was flown to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, where he was pronounced dead, the station reported.
Where are their morals, where are their decency? This low down re-enactment of a terrorist attack in France that left 17 people dead just shows us these people have no clue, no morals and definitely no decency.
A Texas pro-gun group organized a re-enactment of the Charlie Hebdo massacre in a bizarre bid to test what would have happened if one of the murdered scribes was armed.
But the experiment set up by the group The Truth About Guns backfired — in no scenario was the “armed civilian” able to take out both “terrorists.”
Perhaps even more disappointing for the pro-gun activists, only one of the volunteers playing the role of the armed civilian even managed to survive — by fleeing the scene.
Pro-gun activist Nick Leghorn, who helped organize the experiment, not surprisingly downplayed the results.
“It’s interesting to see how people react under stress,” Leghorn told a local CBS affiliate.
“It’s not what you’d expect people do.”
The set, created in the town of Plano, mirrored the Paris office where the bloody terror attack was carried out last week.
Armed with paintball guns, two volunteers played the roles of Cherif and Said Kouachi, the sibling extremists who carried out the Jan. 7 slaughter.
“She was doing what she felt was right and to defend herself at that time,” said Detective Antoine Kincade, a spokesman with the Fayetteville Police Department. The husband thought he was doing something good by returning home early to surprise his wife with breakfast in bed.
But there was another surprise waiting for him.
The shooting happened around 10:15 a.m. in the 1100 block of Christina Street.
Fayetteville Police say Zia Segule, 28, left for work. His wife, 27-year-old Tiffany Segule, set the home alarm system. Zia Segule returned to the home unannounced to surprise his wife with breakfast. The alarm sounded and Tiffany Segule, who had gotten back in the bed, shot her husband in the chest through their closed bedroom door. Police said her husband had entered through the front door, but it’s unclear whether he ever announced himself or tried to turn off the alarm.
Zia Segule was able to walk and talk following the shooting, said police. He has been released from Cape Fear Valley Medical Center. He declined to speak in detail with media when he returned home early Friday afternoon, but said “I’m good.”
Tiffany Segule was taken to the Fayetteville Police Department for questioning. Police said she may have been on edge due to recent break-ins in the area. Four home break-ins and four vehicle break-ins have been reported in the neighborhood since January 1, 2014. However, neighbors said Friday that there have been far more attempts.
