Up to 13 people were shot in downtown Austin when a gunman randomly fired into a crowd gathered on East Sixth Street at 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning, authorities say. Police are still searching for the suspected gunman.
Austin police are being aided by the FBI and off-duty detectives from various units as they investigate Saturday morning's shooting event that left 13 injured.

Police are searching for two gunmen in a shooting that left 9 people injured and one woman dead in Chicago early Saturday morning https://t.co/gtPyrVcRmA
One person has been killed and at least nine others have been injured after a shooting in Chicago this morning after two men walked up to a group of people on a sidewalk and started firing. #twillhttps://t.co/SE9eZsyp2c
3 killed and 18 wounded so far in weekend gun violence. Mass shooting of 10 at 2:05 last night. As Mayor Lightfoot said yesterday re: another matter, “This kind of behavior can never be tolerated here in Chicago, not in our Police Department or anywhere else in our city.”
“One person was killed and nine others wounded in a mass shooting early Saturday along the bustling 75th Street business corridor that separates the Park Manor and Chatham neighborhoods” on Chicago’s South Side. @MomsDemandhttps://t.co/b4qRyXefeQ
A week earlier, she heard another gathering along the strip in Chatham had remained peaceful, so Kimfier Miles and her friends felt safe, her cousin said.
“Everyone was confident that it was chill last week, and maybe we can go out and kick it this time. And maybe this is the summer that we can really chill,” Takita Miles said. “But it wasn’t like that.”
Instead, Miles and nine others were wounded when two males opened fire on a group of people about 2 a.m. in the 7500 block of South Prairie, Chicago police have said.
Struck in her leg and abdomen, Miles was rushed to the University of Chicago Medical Center and pronounced dead, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. The others were listed in good to fair condition.
“She was only 29; in the prime of her life,” Takita Miles said. “She hasn’t even experienced life. She just started traveling. It’s unfortunate. It’s really bad.” [....]
Miles’ mother has started an online fundraiser seeking $10,000 to cover her funeral expenses. Meanwhile, her family is still searching for answers about her killing.
Ald. Roderick Sawyer (6th) said he had learned police had obtained video surveillance footage “that seems to have good potential identification of the offenders.”
Takita Miles said she’s concerned her cousin’s killing may result in another “cold case file.”
A spokesman for police declined to provide additional information, but said no arrests had been made as of Sunday evening.
Miles’ cousin said was was also upset that Saturday’s mass shooting hasn’t received the same national attention as attacks elsewhere.
“Our African American community is getting the short end of the stick of everything,” she said. “When it comes to catching serial killers and suspects and mass shooters, we’re definitely treated differently.”
What’s more, she said it feels like the “senseless acts of violence” in Chicago have been “normalized now, like it’s nothing.” [.....]
Just wondering if anyone has anyone told her there is an organization with the name "Black Lives Matter" that protested against police for most of last year with the goal of defunding police especially in heavily Afro-American neighborhoods?

Chief Roy MInter
The shooting may be connected to a series of gunshots in the same area last Tuesday, when residents in the 200 block of Avery Street experienced damage from 10 gunshot rounds, Minter said.
“We could not find any witnesses and no one would provide us with any information regarding that particular incident,” Minter said. “Two days later, we ended up with a mass shooting at the same location.”
A dark sedan was seen leaving the area after the shooting, and Minter said the preliminary investigation showed nobody left the car, suggesting that the incident was a drive-by shooting.
Minter encouraged members of the community to come forward with any information about the shooting directly or through tip lines, Mayor Van Johnson or other community members.
He said it was “disappointing” that police were not able to gain any information about the Tuesday shooting that could have possibly prevented Friday’s shooting [....]

CHICAGO — A man was shot to death while sitting in a parked car in the South Loop Saturday afternoon, according to police.
Police said the man of an unknown age was sitting in a parked car in the 600 block of South Wells Street at approximately 1:18 p.m. when an unknown car pulled up and a perpetrator inside opened fire.
The victim was struck multiple times and was transported to Stroger Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
More than 30 bullet holes could be seen in the Dodge Charger occupied by the victim, frightening onlooking residents nearby.
“They could have kept shooting and it would have went into my apartment you know, so that’s super, super scary,” neighbor Kaci Spallina said.

This was sad but should we start holding Mayor's and Govenors responsible 4 pls murdered in Mass shooting too? Secoriea Turner's family sues Atlanta mayor, city leaders over fatal shooting - ABC News via @ABC - https://t.co/mzE1nm9Erf
The parents of an 8-year-old girl who was fatally shot last year near an Atlanta fast-food restaurant -- where, days earlier, a white police officer shot and killed a Black man -- filed a lawsuit on Monday against Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and other city leaders, claiming they allowed armed vigilantes to roam the streets and tying the child's death to their alleged negligence.
The lawsuit was filed in Fulton County State Court by Charmaine Turner and Secoriey Williamson, the parents of Secoriea Turner, who was killed July 4, 2020, while riding in a car with her mother and encountering a group of armed protesters blocking a street near a Wendy's that was torched during demonstrations over the police officer killing of Rayshard Brooks.]
“Secoriea should be here. None of what we're doing will ever bring our baby back. Her life is priceless,” Turner said at a news conference announcing the lawsuit. "We deserve justice. Someone needs to be held accountable."
Also named as defendants in the lawsuit are Atlanta Police Chief Rodney Bryant, Atlanta City Council member Joyce Sheperd and Wendy's International.
"There is no dispute that this little girl was innocent -- that this family was innocent," attorney Shean Williams of The Cochran Firm said during Monday's news conference. "Did nothing wrong. On their way home, and they lost their little one." [.....]

A note that I find this a little too focused on AR-15 mass shootings for my taste, when in reality following the news, I find that a couple guys or even a single guy with a handgun can and often enough do shoot like 4 to a dozen people in a home or in a crowd. Yeah, getting rid of the big weapons would help a little, but not a lot of what's been going on. It's foolhardy to think that will solve most of the gun violence problem.
I read parts. The mental illness angle struck me more than the age angle. We have a ton of mentally ill people in prisons, and we also have them wandering the streets homeless once they are let out if they are. And we have tough laws in most places making it hard to to claim mental illness as a defense. We just shove it all under the rug. When they are as severe as his case, where he is like a different person with medication and therapy, there's got to be better solutions. In many states we spend a lot on imprisoning them, at the very least it would cost the same having them in a different kind of institution. I'm not a criminologist, maybe it helps to have a mixed population, I don't know. Just seems so often that we could have better outcomes for the same cost.
That said, he had the kind of illness where he was able to hide it from help, from earlier intervention; have to admit I am not sure anything could be done. Not even keeping him away from weapons, he'd have gotten them somehow, he was driven...

[....] Third, policing in New York, as in the rest of the country, is in a state of flux to say the least. Even before the pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement had resulted from major pressure on police reform. The murder of George Floyd completely tipped the tables, putting every cop on notice that brutality would no longer be tolerated, and rightly so. This is, needless to say, a good thing. But, having spoken with several police offers in recent weeks, I’m also hearing that it has made cops wary of intervention in a way that might also affect statistics. They literally worry about putting a foot wrong legally. I spoke to one officer outside the 78th precinct in Brooklyn last week who said that evolving rules around when cops can and can’t use force, how to touch a subject (or not), even how to speak to people — and the magnitude of impact for them if they make even the smallest mistake in protocol — has created a sense of uncertainty and wariness as they walk the beat. He and other officers I’ve spoken with believe that this is emboldening criminals to become more aggressive. Given that police reform continues to evolve in real time, and that hot summer months such as July and August have higher rates of violent crime, many people in law enforcement predict that things will get worse before they get better.
Couple this with the fact that the court system is backed up for months, even years in some areas, and you have a city that is at the boiling point. For this reason, I’ve decided that I’ll be voting for Eric Adams in the Democratic mayoral primary elections that started on Saturday [....]

Policing needed authority. Criminals don't mind social workers or security looking over their shoulder. Even the Capitol thing - police completely overrun, helpless, in disarray - that just encourages all the street idiots. It's not all parking meters and crosswalks after school. Gonna get messier.
A driver fatally ran down one woman and injured another person at a protest in Minneapolis over the police killing of a Black man.
Protesters have gathered in the Uptown neighborhood near the site where sheriff's deputies fatally shot Winston Smith, and a man drove into the crowd late Sunday night, reported KARE-TV.
"People were having a joyous time and then for that to happen, like you know people are still kind of reeling in from that," said one witness. "It's a tragedy for sure."
"You got 15 squad cars showing up, and they're hopping out in riot gear before an ambulance shows up," the witness added. "That adds to the already intense and stressful situation."
NOW: This is the scene near Hennepin and Lake where we’re told just before midnight a vehicle drove into a group of protesters at Lake & Girard. @KARE11pic.twitter.com/i0sJtx37Xc
Two protesters were taken to a nearby hospital, where Deona Marie Knajdek was later pronounced dead, and the second person was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Some of the protesters pulled the man from his car and restrained him before police took him into custody, and the driver was also treated at the hospital for his injuries.
Nicholas David Kraus, 35, is being held on suspicion of vehicular homicide, driving on a canceled license and giving false information to police.
Police said they believe alcohol or drugs may have been involved in the crash [.....]
reporting that people were having "a joyous time" before the car came strikes me as kind of odd if the protest was supposed to be about the fatal police shooting of a black man. I question whether much of the crowd was protesting late on Sunday night, especially if they were being "joyous". It matters as to motive of the homicidal driver, it implies he was intentionally attacking protesters.
NPR report is a litttle clearer, including the picture, it looks like it actually was a protest and it was about the shooting of Smith by U.S. marshals, not police:

Multi-state shooting spree was racially motived, suspect was targeting White men: reporthttps://t.co/mRlW8zwlTq
Pardon me, DOJ? Where’s the prosecution for a “hate” crime? Oh I forgot, he’s only shooting white people. That doesn’t qualify. What a f***** up Country!
He's been on this issue for months. I don't know why more Senators aren't even noticing what's happening to their constituents. https://t.co/R6t2idtQxx
Because the personal risk of being dragged through the mud as racists isn’t worth the potential political gain of addressing an issue they can’t directly affect in most cases. Indeed, the desire of everyone to avoid describing this dynamic is a measure of its power.
the above strikes me as a totally opposing narrative to BLM rhetoric, people in this project, they want police there all the time
[....] “I just got up and went on the stairs because I thought maybe I need to get away from this window because when a bullet goes up it’s gotta come down.”
The shooting at the Wilson Apartments happened just before 10:45 Monday night.
It claimed the lives of 17-year-old Jesse Ransom and 18-year-old Saiveon Pugh - two other victims, one being a juvenile are fighting for their lives in the hospital.
Columbus Police have not reported any possible suspects, but for some residents, the violence hits too close to home.
“I just have flashbacks because I lost my son to gun violence.”
“One of the biggest things that we have is guns in the hands of young people,” Muscogee County Sheriff Greg Countryman said.
But to change that, the Sheriff’s Office says it is going to take a collaborative approach.
“Churches, preachers, lawyers it takes everybody, residents police, and sheriffs department…” Command SGT. Larry Marshall with the Muscogee Sheriff’s Office said.
In the 1970′s Sheriff Countryman said Wilson Apartments was patrolled by it’s own housing authority police department - and he worked on the force.
During his time, most of the crimes were gang and drug-related.
The housing authority police went away in the 1990′s and then... violence began plaguing the streets once more of the government-subsidized (Section 8) housing community.
Decades later, residents say they still want patrols.

‘You Have to Be F***ing Kidding Me’: After Simone Biles’ Brother Acquitted of Murder, Victim’s Mom Yells ‘I’m Going to Kill You’https://t.co/Hw2RIBx2o0
I note the last paragraph - is this the "no squealing" thing or is it madeup witnesses or prosecution incompetence? I didn't know about this trial, so I have no idea.
Two days prior to being acquitted, three said-to-be-key witnesses could not be located — prompting the prosecution to file a now-moot request for warrants compelling them to appear. The state had never been successful in securing the in-court testimony of the lone person who allegedly claimed to have seen Biles-Thomas fire the weapon.
The Supreme Court on Monday all-but unanimously rolled back the forms of relief available for a narrow class of criminal defendants convicted of federal gun crimes in two consolidated cases.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh delivered the opinion of a unanimous court in regards to the first, and namesake, case in Greer v. United States. Meanwhile Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who clarified her reservations while ultimately agreeing with the majority in Greer, dissented from the ruling in the second case stylized as United States v. Gary.
In each case, the defendants were convicted of violating a federal law prohibiting people from possessing a gun if they have been convicted of a crime that can be punished with more than one year in prison.
Greer was convicted after a jury trial. Gary pleaded guilty.
The appeals process played out in each case due to the recent high court decision in Rehaif v. United States which held the government must prove two things in order to win convictions based on the so-called “felon in-possession offense”: (1) that the defendant knew they possessed a firearm; and (2) that the defendant knew they belonged to the relevant category of persons barred from possessing a firearm.
Each of the defendants were convicted prior to the Rehaif ruling and raised arguments on appeal based on the notion that the knowledge requirements had been changed and would have been instrumental to their cases. Gregory Greer argued he might not have been convicted if the now-necessary jury instructions were used in his case. Michael Andrew Gary similarly argued that he wouldn’t have pleaded guilty.
In real terms, the law changed so neither defendant was: (1) aware of the actual state of the law; or (2) able to preserve the relevant procedural objections at the time.
The legal reality was different.
Here, each of the defendants: (1) technically “forfeited” the claims that made up the basis of their appeals; because (2) they failed “to preserve” the necessary objections based on the changed law at the relevant time under the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure–again, which they couldn’t have possibly known about at the time the law says they had to have made such objections for them to count.
Justice Kavanaugh explains how the justices view the state of the law [....]

SURPRISE, AZ — One person was killed, three others suffered gunshot wounds, and nine more people suffered various different injuries during a 90-minute shooting spree in the West Valley Thursday afternoon.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety, Peoria Police Department, and Surprise Police Department were each investigating reported shootings Thursday afternoon.
Brandon Sheffert, a spokesperson for Peoria Police Department, said authorities are investigating at least eight separate shooting scenes primarily across the West Valley.
Four people had gunshot wounds, one of whom has died, he said. The other victims had a range of injuries, including being hit by shrapnel.
The shooting incidents happened over a 90-minute period, Sheffert said.
A spokesperson for Banner Health confirmed to ABC15 Thursday afternoon that they received a total of nine patients at three of their hospitals related to the shootings, which they referred to as a drive-by shooting incident [.....]

There were many shootings elsewhere on Juneteenth but it is interesting that the one that went really went "viral" on twitter, with lots of participation in commentary by "black twitter" was the shooting at Lake Merritt in Oakland area. I presume that this was both because it happened with a crowd of about 1,000 surrounding and caused a stampede situation, and (I admit I intuit this from a lot of commentary) that it is long a traditional place to celebrate the date that many people know about.
A lot of the reaction is not logical of course but a lot of shootings we are having are not a logical phenomenon. Made me realize that it is common for people of all subcultures to dismiss the incidence of shootings at night clubs and bars and such as expected activity where people are "sinning" already, and that includes "bad" neighborhoods, that they all sort of deserve it in some way, but when it is in a public place in the daytime where "good" people are gathered, it has much more shock effect.
There was a lot of interesting reaction, could result in some change in the types of activism we see. Especially in that the perps were young men. I will just grab a couple tweets off the top to give an idea, go to the link for more.
the police were already stationed at lake merritt and did not prevent this. they're obviously not the solution.

Last night there was an execution in Humboldt Park (Chicago) of a couple in their car in traffic, flying the Puerto Rican flag, and there is a video tape of the execution. In Chicago, it was the Puerto Rican Day Parade as well as Juneteenth. It is making big news on social media, no surprise there. I will be surprised if Twitter does not censor the video soon but so far it is still available
That Humboldt Park shooting in Chicago hit me hard. He tried to protect her and was executed in the street.
Twitter has turned into a snuff film distribution platform. That being said, when the motherfucker who pulled the trigger is found I want to see it. I need closure.

yesterday I also noticed several reports of vicious robberies in Chicago which I had not seen before. Whether this is an actual case of uptick in incidents or just an uptick in reporting, either way is not good for tourism or giving it consideration as place to live. Four examples -
Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms blames the city's spike in murders partly on reopening too early. As I recently argued the lockdowns did suppress crime. So this is technically true but also sad? https://t.co/7OKfqL30Wp
Eight people — including two children — were shot at a strip mall in Dallas this morning after a fight escalated into gunfire. The victims included a 10-year-old and a 15-year-old, both of whom were shot in the leg. #txlegehttps://t.co/zDLAKOLMWD
Oakland has seen a dramatic rise in gun crimes, from homicides to armed robberies to carjackings. But there’s another troubling trend: mass shootings are up, too. The city has had six mass shootings in less than six months, the most of any California city. https://t.co/cFaj31E2aY
Detroit police say the shooting happened just before 8 a.m. in the area of Plymouth Road and St. Marys Street, near the Southfield freeway. A black Chrysler 300 pulled past a pick-up truck with four people inside including the victims. https://t.co/tLL4Jxag87

Eight years ago, “only one Republican was willing talk about expanding background checks.” Now there are multiple potential Republican partners and “we're closer, not farther away, from 60 [votes] in the Senate,” @ChrisMurphyCT
unfortunately a lot of "progressive" gun control activists think this kind of dramatic thing is the main problem:
Excellent collaboration by SDSC & tactical officers in @ChicagoCAPS07 that led to the arrest of three convicted felons in possession of this firearm.Two offenders are facing felony Armed Habitual Criminal.

but it's clearly not, won't help that much at all, as majority of the current epidemic of mayhem and homicide is due to handguns, it's just that simple, anyone paying attention to crime news can see it. You can shoot a lot of people with a handgun, it's happening every day (and a lot of injuries are also clearly due to the perps being bad shots with their handguns!)
Who on here grew up in an environment with a lot of violence? Even if you didn't, you must at least be able to imagine what it must be like to live among this.
"How can I wear a Black Lives Matter shirt and then turn around two minutes later after you stomp on my foot, and gun you down," said Herb Nutter of Southwest Philadelphia. https://t.co/IAvAzIiKoi
This is a convenient belief for American politicians who aren't doing much of anything about poverty anyway, they can say we'll always have a lot of violence as long as there's a lot of poverty, might as well say they'll do nothing
This whole UN report is pretty good on this topic if you're interested in reading further. The long and short of it is that America has a unique amount of gun violence compared to other rich countries, and it's much more violent than many poorer countries https://t.co/gEqa1V2NMt
I haven't, I suppose people would want to look at that for cases like Venezuela, but generally speaking Americas are more violent than rest of the world because of combination of organized crime, easy access to guns and inadequate policing
We logged 98 homicides last June which is a record going back to at least 1950s. Anything less than a record will be considered a “downtrend”. Same deal for July w/ 108 homicides in 2020. Anything less than a record is a “downtrend”. https://t.co/kctLnqoara

A note that I find this a little too focused on AR-15 mass shootings for my taste, when in reality following the news, I find that a couple guys or even a single guy with a handgun can and often enough do shoot like 4 to a dozen people in a home or in a crowd. Yeah, getting rid of the big weapons would help a little, but not a lot of what's been going on. It's foolhardy to think that will solve most of the gun violence problem.

I read parts. The mental illness angle struck me more than the age angle. We have a ton of mentally ill people in prisons, and we also have them wandering the streets homeless once they are let out if they are. And we have tough laws in most places making it hard to to claim mental illness as a defense. We just shove it all under the rug. When they are as severe as his case, where he is like a different person with medication and therapy, there's got to be better solutions. In many states we spend a lot on imprisoning them, at the very least it would cost the same having them in a different kind of institution. I'm not a criminologist, maybe it helps to have a mixed population, I don't know. Just seems so often that we could have better outcomes for the same cost.
That said, he had the kind of illness where he was able to hide it from help, from earlier intervention; have to admit I am not sure anything could be done. Not even keeping him away from weapons, he'd have gotten them somehow, he was driven...

Woman killed after car plunges into Minneapolis protest over fatal police shooting of Black man
by Travis Gettys @ RawStory.com, June 14, 2021
reporting that people were having "a joyous time" before the car came strikes me as kind of odd if the protest was supposed to be about the fatal police shooting of a black man. I question whether much of the crowd was protesting late on Sunday night, especially if they were being "joyous". It matters as to motive of the homicidal driver, it implies he was intentionally attacking protesters.

So much for security guards in SF being tough on black shoplifters. Actually, the guy is very smart, not risking his life over this shit, just filming him doing it so it can go viral and he can later be crowd sourced ID'd when it goes viral, which it is doing. And he made a half-hearted grab for the bag on the guy's way out as well!

"Police say the victim has been uncooperative"
two separate incidents southern Maryland, victims 21 and 19 year old males, the 19 year old was shot in the head and died, the 21 year old is in a trauma center
Interesting that things have gotten to the stage there that they have a "Youth Gun Violence Task Force"! : Members of the Youth Gun Violence Task Force and detectives from the Criminal Investigations Division along with crime lab personnel responded to both locations and continued the investigations.

There were many shootings elsewhere on Juneteenth but it is interesting that the one that went really went "viral" on twitter, with lots of participation in commentary by "black twitter" was the shooting at Lake Merritt in Oakland area. I presume that this was both because it happened with a crowd of about 1,000 surrounding and caused a stampede situation, and (I admit I intuit this from a lot of commentary) that it is long a traditional place to celebrate the date that many people know about.
A lot of the reaction is not logical of course but a lot of shootings we are having are not a logical phenomenon. Made me realize that it is common for people of all subcultures to dismiss the incidence of shootings at night clubs and bars and such as expected activity where people are "sinning" already, and that includes "bad" neighborhoods, that they all sort of deserve it in some way, but when it is in a public place in the daytime where "good" people are gathered, it has much more shock effect.
There was a lot of interesting reaction, could result in some change in the types of activism we see. Especially in that the perps were young men. I will just grab a couple tweets off the top to give an idea, go to the link for more.
the San Francisco Chronicle tweet has a good picture of the aftermath:
by artappraiser on Sun, 06/20/2021 - 3:12pm
these stories are part of one major related phenomenon that has to be dealt with, mho:
whether one blames "rap culture" or not. Yes, young black men are profiled by police. It's easy to label that racism-as all profiling by physical characteristics is unfair. But It's not totally irrational to do this on their part, it doesn't come out of thin air.

Last night there was an execution in Humboldt Park (Chicago) of a couple in their car in traffic, flying the Puerto Rican flag, and there is a video tape of the execution. In Chicago, it was the Puerto Rican Day Parade as well as Juneteenth. It is making big news on social media, no surprise there. I will be surprised if Twitter does not censor the video soon but so far it is still available
a reminder, though, that they were not the only people shot in Chicago last night; you just don't get videos so no one cares so much; as of 9 am CT
by artappraiser on Sun, 06/20/2021 - 5:02pm
yesterday I also noticed several reports of vicious robberies in Chicago which I had not seen before. Whether this is an actual case of uptick in incidents or just an uptick in reporting, either way is not good for tourism or giving it consideration as place to live. Four examples -

also nothing unusual went on in Oakland:
and
working on it all:
unfortunately a lot of "progressive" gun control activists think this kind of dramatic thing is the main problem:
but it's clearly not, won't help that much at all, as majority of the current epidemic of mayhem and homicide is due to handguns, it's just that simple, anyone paying attention to crime news can see it. You can shoot a lot of people with a handgun, it's happening every day (and a lot of injuries are also clearly due to the perps being bad shots with their handguns!)

All black males in these most recent NYPD Crimestoppers videos. REALITY, like it or not, that no one will dare say but I will: NYPD Crimestoppers is basically asking the public to help them profile for black males that look like this:
Smile, you are on Candid Camera and one of your features is that you have black skin, another is you are male. There's a $3,500 bounty on your head. It's not racism! It's trying to catch criminals that hurt others! It's called policing. It's just reality!
