Another day, another mass shooting

Wait.  Make that two.
Chicago police officer and two other people were killed in an attack at a South Side hospital Monday afternoon that sent medical personnel and police scrambling through halls, stairwells and even the nursery in search of victims and the shooter before he was found dead.

Yes, there was a domestic abuse aspect.
Police had been called to the hospital after a gunman confronted his girlfriend, emergency room doctor Tamara O’Neal, apparently over a "broken engagement," sources said. By the time Jimenez and his partner arrived on the scene, he had shot O’Neal repeatedly, standing over her as he fired the last shots, according to police sources and witnesses.
Meanwhile...
A shooting in downtown Denver left one person dead and four others injured Monday afternoon with police scrambling to locate a suspect who is still at large.

The shooter fired a handgun about half a dozen times at a group of homeless people before getting into a car and leaving the area, witness Hisam Derani told the Denver Post. A bystander returned fire at the car as the shooter sped away, Derani said.

The shooter is not in police custody and is still at large, Denver Police spokesperson Doug Schepman said. Schepman said police could not confirm the number of gunshots fired or whether there was more than one shooter involved in the incident. No other details, including the shooter’s possible motive, are known at this time.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
