A man opened fire at a Halloween party in Chicago, shooting 15 people and critically injuring two, Illinois police told news outlets.

A witness said the man was denied entry to the Halloween party as the DJ announced it was ending, WBBM reported. “They told him he couldn’t come in, and he must have gone to his car and come back and started shooting,” Andre Williams told the TV station.

We're going for a record, guys. I can't help but feel like there is something that can be done about this, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Like there is an obvious solution somewhere, but where oh where could it be? Does anyone know?

Simple. Just arm the pumpkins! 🎃

It's really a mistery to all countries on earth without recurring mass shootings

crowd shows up.

No, the new one is "'No way to stop this happening", says only country where this happens regularly"

Sadly, that's an extremely old Onion headline -- almost a decade old at this point.

As a Chicagoan, this sadly isn’t “news”, because it isn’t new/novel/different/anything other than ordinary dumbass behavior by the local yeetbois

Why is this news? This happens every day, get over it

I wonder if you'd say that if someone you loved was killed in a mass shooting. If there exists anyone you love...

Well that just happens in the US, just like a car crash. It's sad but it is what it is and it's not going to change

I like how you didn't respond to what I said at all and instead responded to something I didn't say.

Glad you liked. If you think I didn't reply you should check your reading comprehension, just saying

Hey, this is my hometown, fuck you man

Move to Europe if you can't adapt

Adapt to getting shot?

If you get shot enough you get immunity obviously. Clearly this guy's head is full of lead already.

You're really working hard to be as dumb and shitty as possible. I feel sad for anyone in your life.

This is the most American thing ever.
