https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/13/us/san-antonio-bar-shooting/index.html
(CNN)Police are searching for a shooter who opened fire after he was denied entry into a bar in San Antonio, wounding eight people, authorities said.
The five women and three men injured are ages 23 to 41, and are in stable condition, said San Antonio Police Chief William McManus. There were no fatalities.
The Friday night incident started when a group that included the shooter was denied entry into a bar because they were intoxicated, the police chief said.
The shooter said, "'don't you know who I am? I'm a UFC fighter from California,'" according to McManus. He said the suspect went back to his car, grabbed "a long rifle" then walked back across the street and opened fire outside the bar.
"He hit eight individuals," the police chief said. "All transported themselves to local hospitals."

One of the Karens posted yesterday prefaced her racist rant with that phrase (or it was "Don't you know what family I come from?"
Nothing good ever happens after someone asks that question.

Another example of how guns make us safer!
(Do I need to post the sarcasm thingy?)
Actually, this is another example that reinforces my conviction that guns need to be taken away from people.

"Guns will make us all more polite to one another".
The NRA has been spewing that particular idiocy for decades now.
I'm not really seeing it...
