8 dead in Ohio after family argument erupts in shooting
 

(NewsCore) - COPLEY TOWNSHIP, Ohio -- A gunman fatally shot seven people Sunday in northeastern Ohio before he was killed by police, WKYC-TV reported.

Police in Copley Township, Ohio -- about eight miles (13 kilometers) west of Akron -- said the incident began with a family argument. Neighbors said they heard multiple gunshots at around 11:00am local time.

The gunman shot and killed five people, then went to another location and fatally shot two more people before he was killed by police, Copley Township Police Chief Michael Mier said. One of the victims was an 11-year-old child.

Another person was injured and taken to a local hospital. The victims' identities have not yet been released.

A SWAT team and police from nearby Akron, Bath and Fairlawn assisted Copley Township police in the incident.

Snap that's like a mile from where I grew up in Fairlawn.

Just playing Devil's advocate here, but I wonder how many people he could have killed if he only had access to a baseball bat? My guess would be less than 7.

Guns, someone has to pull the trigger, they don't get up and walk around shooting people. Same principle with any weapon.

So you advocate everyone walking around with nuclear bombs?

Yep, that's exactly what I said. Obviously. :helpme

Let's say hypothetically that guns were illegal. You don't think this man could have somehow procured a gun regardless of that fact?

guns are a second amendment right! do you stop fucking because of std's? Give me a fucking break.

why not keep guns and get rid of stupid people??? just sayin' you know....

Stay classy, Ohio

what kind of family arguments needs a gun in the mix? and to kill someones child. seems like more and more of these mass shootings. keep your gun close at all times. boomer is always with me.

Another mad man on the rage.

wow...and I went to Copley Middle School.

He could use the bat to hit a cop in the back of the head and then take the cop's
gun and kill 8 people total since the cop is now dead too.

So I "guess" you are wrong.

:2 cents:

It happens. Hopefully their argument has been resolved. That's what counts.
