Neither am I.
The Sandy Hook 1st graders were sliced to ribbons by gunfire and this country didn't do shit about it.
Accordingly, since then, I've factored into my routine, daily existence that at any moment I could be killed, or worse - permanently maimed- by gunfire, at any second of my day.
And child sacrifices to the Gods of Gun Manufacturers Profits carry on.
We live in an obscene society, and, apparently, that's just the way we want it.
Fuck "concern".

Hey y’all. I’m in my office in lockdown directly across the street from this. One dead three injured they’re saying, so not such a big deal in the scheme of things at this point. Rumor is he shoot his mother. This is the third shooting lockdown in about 5 years in the building.

FYI" The shooting did not happen in Northside Hospital which is located miles away to the north in the Buckhead section of the city of Atlanta. Rather it happened at the Northside Family Medicine and Urgent Care location in Midtown. They are 2 separate facilities and only one of them is a hospital and as I wrote above & that hospital is in Buckhead.

Thank you R31. The CNN reporter on the scene described it as a building with multiple practices with the hospital at the top. The Hospital is on the top floors? Never heard of that. I assume the Urgent Care is on the main floor?

The mother of the Atlanta gunman who opened fire at a hospital, killing one woman and injuring four others, blamed a medication mix-up for the shooting.
His mother, Minyone Patterson, told The Daily Beast: 'The damn VA gave him some messed up medication. And all he wanted was an Ativan (pill for anxiety).'
The Coast Guard has confirmed that Patterson was enlisted with them in 2018, before being discharged from active duty in January 2023. 'Mr. Patterson entered the Coast Guard in July 2018 and last served as an Electrician’s Mate Second Class.'

The U.S. has an unique pro-gun position, probably because it's in the Constitution. Other countries are able to respond more appropriately such as New Zealand relatively recently when some guy shot up mosques - their PM Ardern was able to get a ban on on the sale of all types of semi-automatic weapons and assault rifles as well as a buy-back scheme through within days (and this despite the fact she was only PM because of the support of a far right party).
