On CNN they are reporting that 8 people have been shot in a high rise in Orlando.

The article says the gunman is still loose and they have no idea who it is.

I really hope so. It just reminds me of 9/11. I heard a plane hit the WTC. My first thought was some idiot pilot in a small plane wasn't paying attention. Then I heard about a plane hitting the Pentagon. We turned on a TV at work and then saw the 2nd plane hit the WTC live.

I guess that 9/11 conditioned me to worry when I hear simular things happening in different places.

You have to remember that when one hits the news, a couple usually follow. Not usually this close, but it does follow. Even Columbine was followed by another within a month or two if I recall.

Before reasoning it to a kind of Werther effect, it all starts with the OK corral law which makes it easier to own a gun than to get a driver's license.

Seeing that the most rigorously proven way of stopping a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun, I think I'm cool with the driver's license being harder to get. I'm much more likely to be killed by someone in a car than by someone with a gun, after all.
