Can't even stop with the sarcasm at a time like this? sigh

Now 9 dead, dozens injured

Now 12 dead, 31 wounded. Shooter was killed and was a soldier, and two other soldiers are being held for questions and are suspects at this time.

Nope, I don't.

Soldier Readiness Center is where they bring young recruits to prepare them for induction into service, from what the newsman just said. They probably were not armed at all?
