Three people were rushed to a hospital early Sunday after an attempted robbery ended in gunfire near State Farm Arena, Atlanta police said.
Less than two hours later, Atlanta police were the scene of another triple shooting that sent victims to the hospital.
In the first incident, the victims — two men and a woman — were suffering from gunshot wounds when officers arrived at the 100 block of Centennial Olympic Park Drive about 12:40 a.m., Atlanta police said in a statement. All three were stable when they were taken to the hospital,
Investigators determined the victims were injured when a group of people tried to rob them while they were walking back to their car from State Farm Arena.
“During the robbery, attempt shots were fired and the victims were wounded,” police said. The incident remains under investigation.
In the second triple shooting, about 2 a.m., officers were sent to the Silver Ultra Lounge on Sylvan Road after a disc jockey allegedly opened fire and injured three patrons, police said in a statement.
Byron Xavier Alexander, 25, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, reckless conduct and criminal trespass in connection with the incident.
Investigators said the DJ had been involved in an argument at the nightclub while he was working. When the manager asked him to leave, Alexander fired several shots at the floor, police said.
One woman was hit by a ricocheting bullet and was taken to a hospital. Two other men later arrived at a hospital and said they had been injured in the gunfire at the nightclub [....]

Four people were shot, one fatally during a fight in a parking lot in northeast Rochester early Monday morning.
Rochester Police Capt. Frank Umbrino said that an 18-year-old man died as a result of gunfire outside the Walmart SuperCenter, 1490 Hudson Ave. The man and three others were taken to Rochester General Hospital by private vehicle. Angel Gonzalez-Pagan of Rochester was pronounced dead shortly after he arrived at the hospital.
A 43-year-old man was shot in the upper body, suffered serious injuries and is "fighting for his life," Umbrino said. Two others — a 23-year-old man and a 31-year-old man — were both shot in the lower body and suffered injuries not considered life-threatening, he said.
Initially police reported that a 15-year-old girl was also shot in the parking lot Monday morning, but police later determined that she was not struck by a bullet. She was near the gunfire and was also taken to the hospital by private vehicle as a precautionary measure, Umbrino said.
Umbrino said that police were called to the parking lot around 12:50 a.m. after shots were fired. Several hundred people were gathered in the parking lot when the fight broke out. During the fight, nearly 50 gunshots were fired from multiple weapons.
It was not immediately clear whether those involved in the fight "had anything to do with the shots being fired" or if the shots stemmed from a separate dispute in the parking lot, he said.
"It's terrible," he said. "It's another tragedy we're facing, and unfortunately we've had way too many of them."
[.....]
Umbrino also said that, in the hours before the Hudson Avenue homicide, gunshots were fired at and struck a vehicle at a plaza on Mount Read Boulevard. Police are investigating to see if the two shootings are connected.

Caption Patrina Gipson (L) and Inett Jackson
Lewis (R) were attending a funeral when a vehicle
with four people pulled up and started firing.
Four people were shot, one fatally.
FORT DEPOSIT, Ala. (WSFA) - A family had its grief compounded many times over Saturday while attending a burial service in Fort Deposit, located about 35 miles south of Montgomery.
It started in the Fort Deposit Cemetery in Lowndes County where family and friends were in the process of saying their goodbyes to James Gipson, a man who recently died of cancer.
“It’s very strange. It’s like something that you would see happening in a movie,” said Patrina Gipson, who is still in shock. “They went to shooting. Everybody hit the ground,” she said.
For the Gipson family, it felt like hell had surfaced from below.
“No one intended or expected anything like this to happen,” said Inett Jackson Lewis.
Family members say they were just steps away from lowering their loved one’s body into the ground when a vehicle with four people inside drove into the cemetery and whipped around with loud music blaring.
Patrina Gipson said there were around 60 people in attendance of the funeral when the suspects drove up.
“They were asked to turn the music down. Basically, it instigated from there. A lot of cussing and profanity that went on,” she explained.
She remembers hearing around 8 or 9 shots. Four people were hit including, Patrina’s brother [....]

2)... the issues we face every day. As Mayor, I plan to hire 400 additional police will build up the homicide unit, the scientific investigation unit, and the gang unit. We will employ 100 safety assistants with special skills to deal with nonviolent disturbances...
3)...Not every 9 1 1 call requires an armed response. We will attract quality applicants to law enforcement by providing #collegetuition for those who commit to five years of service in the #ClevelandPoliceDepartment...
4).Most importantly, we will create a cabinet-level #CivicPeaceDepartment. The Civic Peace Department will identify trouble spots in the city, intervene before an outbreak of violence, and create new policies addressing safety, security, crime, and rehabilitation,and establish...
5)..and coordinate new community-based violence prevention programs and conflict resolution strategies. When we ignore our safety, progress in #Education, Health, and #Housing can not happen. Nothing will change until we take strides to make all of our neighborhoods safe again...
6 Final)Our Administration will take an all-encompassing, holistic approach to the economic and social challenges confronting all Clevelanders. It has been said. I was ahead of my time. Well, this is our time; this is the time for bold, visionary ideas to transform our city.

Eight people were injured in a shooting near a car wash in Fort Worth, Texas, early Sunday morning after a group of men got into an argument.
One of the men left the scene during the argument, returned with a gun and began firing "toward groups of people," Fort Worth Police said in a news release. Multiple people returned gunfire, the release said.
An officer heard gunfire around 1:30 a.m., Fort Worth Police said in a news release. When officers arrived at the scene to investigate, they found eight people with gunshot wounds, according to police.
Most of the victims are believed to have been innocent bystanders who weren't involved in the initial argument, according to Fort Worth Police. All were taken to local hospitals and are in stable condition, police added.
A young girl also suffered minor injuries when she was hit by a vehicle while trying to leave the area, according to the release.
No suspects have been arrested, according to Fort Worth Police. Gun violence detectives are continuing the investigation.
BUT this supposed increase in violent crime it's all just right-wing bullshit to distract from all the police abuse going on, I am assured by many lefties!
EXCUSE ME but I think this is more like it: the number of shootings has skyrocketed astronomically, it's just that many more people that are shot don't die because the a majority of the shooters don't have much skill with guns! And medicine has gotten better at keeping people from dying from gunshot wounds. (As far as insuring quality of life after gunshot wounds, though, I'd be willing to bet the improvement rate is: not much.)
So the "homicide" rate is up some but not astronomical and you want to spin that nothing has changed!!! Because you hate police. When an astronomical number of people are being shot by civilians.
I think we should poll the E.R. docs, they would know.
And then interview the victims six months down the road, see what they think about the ramifications of being shot by a gun. How much they are enjoying pain and physical therapy and the psychological implications...
p.s. if there was a public shooting of 8 people at one scene in 2010, there'd be 5 threads on Dagblog on it and a whole bunch of people following the story of the investigation for weeks. This year, CNN does a very short news item on it and then the story disappears, never to be heard of again.
The cops and the medical profession are supposed to deal with the aftermath, though, silently, without any coverage. AFTER working hellish hours a whole year through a pandemic while everyone else stayed home on unemployment.
Because lefties want to spin a new agenda and sweep under the rug that everybody is using handguns.
Just don't say arta didn't warn ya when civilization goes down the tubes and you fell for lefty lies and delusions because the "enemy" right wingers were taking advantage of what was actually happening. Partisanship as delusional suicide, lovely.
Edit to add: wondering now after writing that--how many "stimmies" went to purchase of handguns and ammunitions? Pro Publica or somebody should study that.
Different kind of Black Lives Matter movement, I've been seeing more than a few acolytes speaking up lately:
Regardless of whether it's gangs or drugs, A loss of life is a loss of life. Per capita Blacks kill each other more than any ethnic group in the USA. The idea of white supremacy is they keep the black man from being free to do what he wants by this stat it shows it is not true.
This is so very disturbing. @CNN reports at least 150 people were killed by gun violence in more than 400 shootings across the U.S. during the Fourth of July weekend. Major U.S. cities confront a surge in violent crime, according to data compiled by the Gun Violence Archive.
You’ve no idea how many more reported deaths there would be if not for first responders, EMS, ER medical staff, surgeons, hospitals, etc that save many shooting victims

^ REAL SHOOTINGS NOT INVENTED BY RIGHT-WING MEDIA, all mostly on Sunday!
Lefties trying to say this is invented! My lying eyes reading local news say: it's not a conspiracy, it's a real epidemic in which a single incident used to be big national news, now MANY happen every day and it's not covered nationally for that very same reason. Look at the length of my threads, and I am posting far from every incident!
You are not going to get very far lying about this! People figure it out sooner or later!
NOTE: counts like this, terrible in themselves, are only the homicides (by all means), NOT all shootings:
The city of Columbus now sits at 105 homicides for the 2021 year. The city did not reach the 105 mark last year until the middle of September. https://t.co/WPVgTh7BAm
and lately most shootings seem to be where they are aiming at one or two people but shoot 5, 6, 7, 8 or more because they are so inexperienced at using a gun to kill. The results are usually some with critical or very critical injuries and others with graze wounds. Often no deaths at all, just misery, maybe for decades or lifelong, not to mention taxing our health care system. If victims can't afford psychological care, scarred for life that way too.
start of a new trend, marauding gangs on scooters and dirt bikes?
A 24-year-old man in North Corona, Queens was critically wounded outside a store at 2:50 a.m., when several scooters pulled up and someone opened fire. https://t.co/DzZMCMDKqV
WTF IS THIS ABOUT NOW? You need buses and drivers in a city, it's not wise to make their job so dangerous that they quit and no one else wants to work the job! It doesn't look like a crazy homeless person doing this, it's intentional assault!
WOW!!! This is leadership directed at the epidemic of gun violence. More people are now dying from guns than COVID. Thank you @NYGovCuomo for doing this.
“Gun violence is a public health crisis, and we must treat it like one." https://t.co/h6BNWw2W2u
And mho, we don't have the epidemic half as bad as some other states. We have a lot of very good police forces still trying their darnest to reverse the trajectory and enforce the local laws we already have, despite all the abuse they had to stomach last year, during a devastating viral epidemic, from mostly educated elite brats being supported by their parents and bored with social isolation.
Just like clockwork, the NYPD & the white media has been promoting (& in many cases STAGING) crime propaganda, & now as a “solution” to all the crime, they have declared a "Disaster Emergency", so that militarized federal strike force teams can come in and start targeting Blk ppl

Chicago's Police Superintendent blames the local judicial system for the second time in a week
After more than 100 people were shot — 17 fatally — during the extended holiday weekend, Chicago police Superintendent David Brown insisted his department did its part in fighting the violence while casting blame once again on Cook County’s judicial system https://t.co/4NpDXsvvMO
First time was at request of city council that he come testify about his plans for protecting the city over the weekend...didn't get around to posting on it, you can easily find articles on that meeting
Bias verification for me > I have a family member who is involved in real estate around the country, and has abodes in both Santa Monica and FL (not Miami!) and he has been saying exactly the same thing as below for about three years now, that his area in CA which was once "a paradise" has become "hopelessly, utterly ruined", gone to hell, and that he very much prefers FL (and it's governor, BTW): that it's laid back and lacking stress like southern CA used to be
I didn’t realize how dysfunctional California and DC were until I moved to Florida. For all the hate Florida gets from the media, it’s a very nice place to live, and feels much safer than DC, SF or LA.

What's sad about having lived in SF off and on for the past 20+ years is watching it go from a mostly normal city with some weirdness here and there, to one where rampant crime, open-air drug use and mental illness, and a total lack of order reigns. It's just the new normal now.

Look at the length of my threads, and I am posting far from every incident!
You are not going to get very far lying about this! People figure it out sooner or later!

NOTE: counts like this, terrible in themselves, are only the homicides (by all means), NOT all shootings:
and lately most shootings seem to be where they are aiming at one or two people but shoot 5, 6, 7, 8 or more because they are so inexperienced at using a gun to kill. The results are usually some with critical or very critical injuries and others with graze wounds. Often no deaths at all, just misery, maybe for decades or lifelong, not to mention taxing our health care system. If victims can't afford psychological care, scarred for life that way too.

WTF IS THIS ABOUT NOW? You need buses and drivers in a city, it's not wise to make their job so dangerous that they quit and no one else wants to work the job! It doesn't look like a crazy homeless person doing this, it's intentional assault!

And mho, we don't have the epidemic half as bad as some other states. We have a lot of very good police forces still trying their darnest to reverse the trajectory and enforce the local laws we already have, despite all the abuse they had to stomach last year, during a devastating viral epidemic, from mostly educated elite brats being supported by their parents and bored with social isolation.

Bias verification for me > I have a family member who is involved in real estate around the country, and has abodes in both Santa Monica and FL (not Miami!) and he has been saying exactly the same thing as below for about three years now, that his area in CA which was once "a paradise" has become "hopelessly, utterly ruined", gone to hell, and that he very much prefers FL (and it's governor, BTW): that it's laid back and lacking stress like southern CA used to be
that was in reply to:
