Another day, another mass shooting in America

Land of the free to go on a killing spree.
A child was among four people killed Wednesday in a shooting at a southern California office building that left a fifth victim and the gunman critically wounded, police said.

[...]

When police arrived at the two-story structure around 5.30pm shots were being fired, Orange police lieutenant Jennifer Amat said. Officers opened fire and the suspect was taken to a hospital, Amat said.

It’s unclear if the suspect suffered a self-inflicted wound or was shot by police. Police provided no details on the victims other than to say one was a child and a woman was critically wounded.

In a tweet, California governor Gavin Newsom called the killings “horrifying and heartbreaking”.

“Our hearts are with the families impacted by this terrible tragedy tonight,” he wrote.

Congresswoman Katie Porter, a California Democrat whose district includes the city of Orange, said on Twitter that she was “deeply saddened”.

It's just a shame we can't do a damned thing about it. 

At least they've quit saying "thoughts and prayers".
