The comments section of this CNN report is sickening.

The liberal code. Never let a good tradegy go to waste. Such hateful people.


Thoughts, prayers and justice for the victims and their families.

Pisses me off

I literally live 4 houses down from where it happened. Woke up to what I thought was just construction, then heard a bullet whiz by my room and realized what was happening. Saw the cops move in on the house and everything. T&P's to all the people shot.

civilian(s) and officers injured. Still will not confirm any possible deaths as they are gathering information.

Confirmed civilian and police officer injuries, but no official count. WTAW 1620 AM.

Do you know the person/persons who live in the house?

CTR...did it indeed sound like assault rifles like some reports are indicating?

Sh**** I am being serious. Honestly I don't know if it was assault rifles. It didn't sound like just regular pistol fire though, so it might have been. I think it started at the projects behind my house, then moved down the street, and ended up in the house down the street from me. Atleast thats what I think happened, because the shots seemed to get closer to my house, then I literally heard 2 bullets whiz right by my window.

glad you are safe then, keep us updated.

Pictures on the KBTX site are confusing me. Early reports were that the shooting was within the neighborhood around the intersection of Highlands and Fidelity which is just east of Welbourne and south of George Bush. From the looks of the pictures though it seems the cops are posted up behind their cars facing further south down Welbourne almost as if the shooting was coming from further south closer to the tracks that run west of Welbourne...

Pulled the picture off because it was gigantic. Just check out the website.

^ The news crew can't get up close and personal while they are dealing with a shooter in the neighborhood. Also, cops have to set up a safe area as a base point. I'm assuming something along those lines are what the pictures showed. All reports were that the shooting was in that neighborhood.

KBTX says "It appears that the shooter is shooting from a house with automatic weapons."

please scale down that picture.

Basically, no new information from press conference. They reiterated what we already know.

Still haven't released a confirmed number of casualties.

Nevermind, hadn't seen that picture yet. It is a bit confusing.

flame me for stereotyping, but there are some section 8 housing apts right off wellborn and luther.

Folks, I live four blocks away and heard the shots, assumed it was a jackhammer, and then when I drove by (down Fairview), all blocks were blocked off with cops, but the concentration of activity was definitely around Fidelity and Highlands. So that picture looks like it's just some cops along the perimeter being cautious prior to the capture of the criminal.

Glad you're ok CT.

Maybe they started in a car standoff on Wellborn (which is where those pictures are from) and it moved into the neighborhood in the process of the standoff and gun fire that was exchanged?

Was this really necessary? What color are the suspects in the last 2 mass shootings in the US?

Forrest there is. Thats why I was saying I think it might have started there and then moved down to the house it ended at. At least thats what it sounded like. I'm probably wrong though. Kinda hard to really know when your hunkered down in your house haha

1 officer killed.

White people live there too. It's not about the color but the environment imo.

from the mybcs thread...

This is not confirmed, but a friend of ours lives next door to this person on Fidelity. From what he understands and saw while he was there, a constable showed up to serve an eviction notice and the resident began shooting. Said he sad the constable being shot, a lady walking down the street, and an officer.

Again, this is just what he claims to have happened.
