At least nine people were critically injured early Sunday when a gunman opened fire in a busy entertainment district in Tucson, Arizona, before police officers shot him and stopped the threat, authorities said.

The shooting occurred around 2 a.m. local time in downtown Tucson, as the streets were teeming with people out for a night on the town, Officer Frank Magos, a spokesperson for the Tucson Police Department, said at a news conference Sunday.

    We had a similar one in here in Minneapolis a few days ago too, I know about it because I still lurk the local subreddits otherwise I wouldn’t know about it.

      I hadn’t heard about that one. It’s depressing to realize how much shootings have become non-news
