Authorities say the gunman entered the store with a handgun and shot 59-year-old Guadalupe F. Rosas, of Apex, then turned the gun on himself. Officials say as police entered the store, they encountered the suspect and challenged him to drop the weapon. That's when the suspect shot himself. The gunman and Rosas were pronounced dead. Authorities are not releasing the name of the suspect pending notification of next of kin.

Why does it seem that people who shouldn't have guns in the first place have such an easy time getting them? Why in the world would anybody want to make it even easier to get guns? Does that make any sense?

ReplyDeleteMikeB,
What part of the story makes you think this was a legal gun owner that did this? The story doesn't even report his name let alone whether he had a carry permit or was a prohibitive person. How can it be "squarely" in your 1% when you do not know any details?
