A NY Gunman Has Killed At Least 12 People At An Immigration Services Center!


For reasons not yet known,a gunman committed mass murder at an immigration center in New York.It is similar to the nursing home killings in North Carolina that left 8 innocent people dead!No one really knows what the motive was for these killings.

Are multiple murders becoming commonplace in our society? I really do wonder what in the hell could drive someone to go on a murderous rampage!This is just tragic & horrendous.At least 12 people have been killed in this latest round of shootings!Here's more on this frightening story from MSNBC:

"Twelve to 13 people were killed Friday when a gunman walked into an immigrant services center and opened fire, Gov. David Paterson said. A federal law enforcement official said the gunman was found dead in the building.

"I speak for all of New York when I offer my prayers for the victims and families of this tragedy," Paterson said hours after the gunman shot several people and took dozens hostage. The gunman first blocked the back door with his car, authorities said.

Two people were seen in handcuffs as they left the building, but NBC's Pete Williams said they were not suspects and that police were simply taking extra precautions as people left the building.

At least 41 people were in the American Civic Association building at the time of the shooting, The Binghamton Press & Sun Bulletin reported.

The gunman had a high-powered rifle, Mayor Matthew Ryan told the newspaper. Law enforcement sources later told NBC News that several weapons were recovered from the shooting scene."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
