Laurinberg NC Gunman: Tragedy & Outrage


Outrage in North Carolina as a man followed up on a petty nightclub fight by actually following a participant in the fight to a hospital and shooting him there after he'd been admitted for emergency treatment.

The man, father to one of the women in the fight, allegedly also tried to shoot the victim's girlfriend, according to police who arrested him on the scene. The girlfriend got away, but the main victim is reportedly still in critical condition. With all the issues already plaguing our health cvare and hospital systems, the last ting we need is the risk of gun violence in the medical facility itself, so hopefully security measures will be tightened up in the wake of this outrageous criminal act.
