Two men and a woman were killed in a shooting inside a suburban Denver Walmart on Wednesday night that forced customers to either hide or flee.
Thornton police reported "multiple parties down" and advised people to stay away from the area as dozens of police cruisers and emergency vehicles raced to the scene.
The men died at the store, and the woman died at a hospital.
Police spokesman Victor Avila said a man nonchalantly entered the store and fired a handgun into a group of people before fleeing in a car. No one has been arrested.
Once we identify which ethnic or religious group he's from, we should argue for restrictions against those people.Time to ban Muslims and hand out free bump stocks to everyone.
The man wanted for what appears to be a random killing spree at a Colorado Walmart was arrested Thursday after an hourslong manhunt.
The suspect, identified as 47-year-old Scott Ostrem, was taken into custody this morning, according to the Thornton Police Department.

Scott Ostrem, 47, appeared in Adams County District Court wearing a yellow-and-white-striped jail uniform. He is accused of randomly firing a gun into the store, striking the victims and causing chaos as frightened shoppers and store employees fled. He then drove away.

He urged people who were inside the Walmart at the time of the shooting but fled before officers arrived to call police or prosecutors.
I'm pretty sure that's sarcasm... the joke being that when it's a Muslim perpetrator, people call for ending immigration and hunting down Muslims, but when the perpetrator is white, it's usually ignore the problem or offer thoughts and prayers.Why are you assuming that he's a Muslim?

If anything, the comment is directed at the people who respond to such tragedies with demands retaliation against entire racial, ethnic or religious group based on the action of one person. Your dismay should be directed at those folks.Kind of a cynical way to respond to people being gunned down in public, though.

Well, it would have been nice to see this same sadness when people were talking about banning Muslim immigrants and complaining about refugee resettlement after the attack in New York.Instead, my sadness is directed at an individual who uses a massacre to make off-the-cuff comments on Islam, instead of making comments on the shooting itself. Human lives.
So maybe we should ban all white republican gun owners from being in this country.At least he was white and a registered Republican and a gun owner.
This thread exists because mass shootings are becoming a daily occurrence.At least he was white and a registered Republican and a gun owner. Otherwise, this thread wouldn't exist.
What other reaction should one have at this point?Kind of a cynical way to respond to people being gunned down in public, though.
You mean last week??I lost hope this will ever be properly addressed about 5 or 6 mass shootings ago.
Yeah, just about.You mean last week??
