Gunman kills six at US care home

[Guest guest]

It probably will. Stories like these have been being hyped by the media lately.

Taking away guns won't solve any of these problems. All that I have been hearing, the draconian gun laws in England haven't done a thing to stop crime. Indeed crime is getting much worse, including gun crimes.

Still, the government would love to take away guns. An armed man is a citizen, and unarmed man is a subject.

Gunman kills six at US care home

A gunman has shot dead six people and wounded three others at a nursing home in

the US state of North Carolina.

A police officer and the gunmen were among those injured in the incident in the

town of Carthage, police said.

Police units are at the scene of the Pinelake Health and Rehab Center, where the

gunman reportedly opened fire at 1000 local time (1500 GMT).

Carthage Police Department Chief McKenzie said that the shooter was an

" adult male " .

Mr McKenzie said: " At the Pinelake Rehabilitation Center this morning we did

have an individual that did injure six that right now we have confirmed as

fatalities.

" We have potentially two others injured at the hospital and a law enforcement

officer injured as well. "

He said the injured police officer was " fine " .

Unconfirmed local reports say the shooting may have been the result of a

domestic dispute.

The suspect was taken to hospital and Mr McKenzie said police hoped to question

him in due course as to his motive for the shooting.

The facility, about 60 miles (100 km) south-west of Raleigh, has 90 beds and

specialises in caring for people with Alzheimer's disease.

The BBC's Jon Donnison in Washington says the shooting will no doubt once again

reignite the debate about gun laws in the United States.
