by Crime Time Tamil on August 05, 2019

Thankfully the police came in one minute . This guy was set to shoot many
2 big mass killings in one day HORRIBLE.
How can we stop this? Gun control ? Sure but anyone can still get a gun on almost any street corner .
Already we have some blaming Trump and it is not his fault just like they had mass tings under Obama and it wasn't his fault and I am not a democrat but it is the fault of those that want to kill for one ignorant reason or another .
Time for both sides and the President to set down and figure something out !!!!!!!

Was the shooter shooting anyone and everyone or was he angry with his sister so he wanted to kill her and shoot up the place where she was? Or was that accidental? CG

Dayton, Ohio, shooting suspect identified, sister among 9 killed, officials say

The sister of the gunman in the deadly rampage in Dayton, Ohio was among the nine killed during the early-morning shooting in a popular nightlife area that left dozens injured, officials revealed Sunday.

Dayton Deputy Director and Assistant Chief of Police Lt. Col. Matt Carper identified the gunman as 24-year-old Connor Betts. His sister, 22-year-old Megan Betts, was among the nine killed, according to Carper, who added that al of those killed during the rampage were shot in the city's Oregon District around Fifth Street.

Betts was killed by police less than a minute after he opened fire with a .223-caliber rifle in the streets of the Oregon District around 1 a.m. Sunday in the second U.S. mass shooting in less than 24 hours after at least 20 people were slain in El Paso, Texas.

"This is a heartbreaking tragedy," Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine told reporters at a news conference Sunday afternoon. "It is the type of tragedy that you hope never comes to your state."
