I've read in the news here that the smoke coming from his guns made the fire alarm go on and thats how the police found him. Otherwise, the police would have need to search every room.
- The broken windows weren't enough?monospaced
- i'm just reporting what the news says. news says a lot of stupid thing thoBennn
- yep I read that also and it makes sense, easy way for them to locate room from reception.fadein11
- don't worry Benn, I'm not challenging you, I'm just sharing a thoughmonospaced
- ok :)Bennn

Meanwhile, in Lawrence, KS, a shooting that didn't even make national news. Because this is becoming all too common... 3 dead, and the shooter is on the loose.

"Patients pay a high price for being shot. On average, those treated in emergency departments incurred $5,254 in charges. If they stayed in hospital overnight, charges were far higher – $95,887 on average."
"Patients who stayed overnight in hospital were more likely to be discharged to expensive rehabilitation facilities. About a third of inpatient gunshot victims were discharged to another medical facility and incurred costs of $179,565 on average."

- I wonder if that crowdfunding campaign, which raised $1M+, will go toward this.monospaced
- Totally bullshit********
- this makes me so mad.Ramanisky2
- sure, if you didnt have medical insurance, which the majority of people have.CygnusZero4
- i stayed in a hospital over night. cost me $50.CygnusZero4
- Well.. insurance aside, how on Earth does a nightly charge ever amount to nearly $100k? I know it's bullshit puffery, but it's.. well, totally bullshit.detritus
- it's a statistic used in healthcare to differentiate a short treatment for longer. it could be months...kingsteven
- also including the cost of treatment for patients (not just the cost of a bed) so you can assume with more severe injuries.kingsteven
- ER services and intensive care, with lots of specialists can rack up to huge costs compared to just staying a night in a hospital.monospaced
- it's better to be killed in the US than surviving and buried in debt.Beeswax
- @Beeswax what the hell are you saying? what a disgusting statement. WTF!chukkaphob
- Can other countries freeze out US somehow? Set up a list of requirements to be counted as part of civilized world, or isolate them like north korea otherwisedrgs
- Beeswax is right, wonder what percentage of those victims will take their own lives after being crippled with debt?PhanLo
- How many of the dead would have preferred to be alive and have to deal with the debt... anyway, the costs are insane. my 2yr old daughter racked up a $1500 billslinky
- for a midnight emergency room visit after reaction to bug bite. doctor did nothing but talk to use to about 20 min and said she would be ok... not meds, testsslinky
- or anything... just discharged after talking for 20 min and costs $1500+. and we waited 1 hr to be seen and 2 hours to be discharged.slinky
- Slinky. That is insane. My son has asthma, so when he was younger, we'd be at the hospital all the time, often staying over 2-3 nights at a time...PhanLo
- ...cost us nothing.PhanLo
- @slinky, it's best to avoid the emergency room and just go to urgent care where you won't get gougedmonospaced
- mono, we had no choice at the moment. in hind-sight we should have waited until next day but we had no idea what bit her and why her foot was swelling so badslinky
- Gun ownership is a right, yet treating bullet wounds is a privilege.Gnash

How can a country be both the most progressive and innovative yet most backward on the planet at the same time?
- size?monospaced
- It isn't. It's just backwards. You'd get the same innovation with a room full of chimps with typewriters.Morning_star
- I'm sure its been said a few times in this thread, but it all comes back to money. Politicians are taking (tens of) millions from the gun lobby.dirtydesign
- Not progressive, nor innovative. Just wealthy and stupid.maquito
- collective egoism.
it's the quick way to prosperity for a price.Beeswax - To say America isn't also progressive or innovative is a pretty stupid thing to say...********
- Ridiculous, even.********
- Is it progressive if you're following decades behind Europe and Canada and actively fighting stuff like universal healthcare?i_monk
- Saudi Arabia just lifted the ban on female drivers. Is that progressive, or just catching up?i_monk
- I'm talking about arts, music, film, technology... America is without a doubt innovative and progressive in those aspects.********
- I'm agreeing with niko. In many ways it's backwards but in many ways leading the way. A strange melting pot...********
- what's scary is how the line is drawn politically between the progressive and backward groups in the USmonospaced

passionate opinions shared as fact? something emotional must have occurred...
take away guns and people stop dying, so what? those same people are still miserable, unhealthy, and uninsured as they drown in debt. they'll find other ways to die.
no guns in china, but people are committing suicide jumping off the building they built your phone in.
no guns in japan so they go in the woods to commit suicide from shame.
no one cares to bemoan guns once a celebrity has committed suicide, but suicide by gun takes far greater lives than these mass shootings.
i personally believe humans should be allowed to commit suicide, personal choice. but emotional vocal humans who believe their opinion matters more than the individual seek to make that a crime as well.
people, nothing more than control issues. it's easier to tell other people what to do than control yourself i guess, right? religion anyone?
- aren't humans allowed to commit suicide already? It is a choice. someone could off themselves today if they wanted.capn_ron
- if you don't succeed, I think there are punishmentsmonospaced
- i think you are right, but less punishments and more mental health reviews/stays, no?capn_ron
- Wasn't it shown that Foxconn's suicide rate was actually lower than the national average?detritus
- It should also be a right to not to be gunned down in cold blood whilst at a concert, school, or place of work by some cunt unable to process disappointment.monoboy
- you're right about suicide ... guns don't increase the rate of it (I don't think), nor would the regulation or ban of assault weapons change it in any waymonospaced
- anyway, gun suicide might be a big number, but it's a personal choice and it doesn't take the lives of dozens innocent bystanders like a mass shooting doesmonospaced
- people commit suicide so we should stop trying to prevent people being murdered by guns?lowimpakt
- we should stop trying to take away guns from responsible gun owners because of a small percentage that are irresponsible.imbecile
- that's a separate point from the one you wrote 7 paragraphs about :)monospaced

kinda cool that people are using it on their own names, though.Gnash - Should surprise no one. In US, 100 people die EVERY DAY in vehicle accidents. Only the related care. Guns & gun deaths are an integral part of American culture.********

I found the same video on YouTube from my previous reply (http://www.qbn.com/reply/386830...
So the first 10 seconds sound like echoes, I think she is right below the shooter's room, but at 47sec mark the sound is far away. 1:08 it is close again.
- http://www.qbn.com/r…BabySnakes
- he shot out 2 windows.teh
- If there were multiple shooters there wouldn't be a any gap between fires I think. but stops between each clip or rifles.Beeswax
- https://www.quora.co…dorf
- yep 2 windows - one nearly above where she was and the other nearly round a corner of the building - so yep that's the difference in sound probablyfadein11

Interior secretary repeals ban on lead bullets
http://thehill.com/policy/energy…
“Non-lead options are available, effective, cost-competitive, and most importantly safer,” said Athan Manuel, public lands director for the group.
“Overturning the lead ammunition ban may win political points with a few special interests, but it could cost the lives of millions of birds and the health of families that rely on game to feed their families.”

I have the picture of the killers head after he killed himself. I heard on the radio the police are very pissed that these leaked out. I mean wth do they expect to happen? We live in the digital age guys. Its GOING to happen. They always act surprised when this stuff leaks like gimme a break.
