Nine people were wounded Thursday evening in Rhode Island’s capital in what police there believe to be the largest shooting in city history.
Of the nine, three had serious injuries and were “maybe critical,” Providence Police Chief Col. Hugh T. Clements told reporters at the scene.
He said multiple guns were used and it involved an “ongoing feud” involving two groups known to authorities. He said the shooting began with gunfire emanating from a vehicle, targeting a home. A person or people inside the home then returned fire. He described the participants as “young men.”
The shooting took place just before 7 p.m. in the southeastern neighborhood of Washington Park, which Clements described as a typically quiet neighborhood.
Clements said an estimated several dozen shots were fired. Evidence markers showing where more than a dozen shell casings littered the ground could be seen in the distance. Police sealed off the area.

Takeaways anyone? How about a good quarterbacking perhaps? Anyone? Ok then I'll give it a shot from the mass media missing information foundation then...
#1. Some young dipshits decided to drive by someone else's "HOME" because of some bullsh*t excuse like;
A. hey this guy was screwing my ex girlfriend, or say,
B. Dude that guy is selling me coke at $180 an 8 ball when I coulda got it over at cousin Federico's house for $160... or,
C. That was my "Turf" you walked on last month...
Either way it was a sh*t excuse to make the headlines...
#2. Those same dipsh*ts probably;
A. Stole the guns,
B. Got Dad or Grandpa's Gun, or
C...stupid is as stupid does, bought the gun and its registered in someone's name that can be tracked back to an innocent citizen who wasn't aware they took the gun(s).
#3. Those f*cknuggits then drove to someone else's home where they knew or had reasons to believe that the homeowners had... GUNS.
#4. I say with confidence those dipsticks then had no target acquisition skills and no training whatsoever and spray and prayed the home in question... because...
A. They left witnesses alive.
#5. The other part is this, the people in the home are in a better position (defensively) and (legally) since they did not "Initiate & Engauge" into a firefight at someone else's home. The problem I see is;
A. They left witnesses alive.
Now...the mass media gets to "Sell" the story creating yet another fiasco of gun control spewing of crap, honest law abiding gun owners get the brunt of "Guns Bad, Guns Kill, Gun Owners Bad" bullsh*t... The taxpayers get another two to three million dollar costs of a trial & a lengthy criminal investigation requiring hundreds of hours at a cost of like $128.99 per hour, since these dumb*sses didn't get to keep only one side of the story alive...On top of that, if..."IF" anyone is convicted of ANYTHING... Taxpayers must foot the bill to house these ass*s in a jail cell, treat them for injuries...yada yada yada.
IMHO...

For sure! Not just the price of ammunition but have you bought any building materials lately?

SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth My son in law and I recently built a 24 foot workbench. It's got under and over storage. I can honestly say that I'd think twice before shooting holes through any lumber. Sheesh!
