    Gang stuff at a Pierce County gas station, 18 year old shoots 46 year old:

    "At one point the victim reaches out to shake (the suspect’s) hand, who refuses to reciprocate,” the declaration for determination of probable cause reads. “Seconds later the driver produces a semi-automatic handgun and points it at the face of the victim who turns his back to walk away.”

    That’s when Martinez-Avila fired, hitting the victim in the ankle, buttocks and back."

    "The 18-year-old has prior convictions for second-degree robbery and unlawful gun possession. That makes it illegal for him to have a gun."

    ^^^^. Stupid people, stupid things... .

    Martinez-Avila asked about the man’s gang association and shot him when he learned he was affiliated with a rival group.

    If a concerned neighbor was allowed to "red flag" him, this tragedy could have been averted.

    Police kill gunman in workplace shooting that left five others dead
    Five officers wounded by gunfire


    The shooter at the manufacturing business where five employees were killed and five police officers were wounded was being fired Friday by the company where the shooting occurred, Aurora Chief of Police Kristen Ziman told reporters Friday night.

    The gunman, Gary Martin, used a handgun, the chief said.
    A slew of law enforcement officers raced to the scene and a team of four entered the building, located in a small industrial area.

    There was gunfire immediately, Aurora Chief of Police Kristen Ziman told reporters Friday evening. Two of the four officers were wounded.

    The battle went further into the 29,000-square-foot warehouse. Three more officers were hit. The shooter was killed by officers, the chief said. A sixth officer hurt his knee and needed to go to a hospital.

    The shooter was identified by Ziman as Gary Martin, 45, and authorities believe he was an employee at the company where the shooting occurred. Police said there was no obvious motive.

    My girlfriends uncle and cousin both work there and were present for this, both also hold ccw and leave their guns in their cars due to company policy. The uncle was in a separate building but the cousin saw the laser and wondered what was going on then saw a body fall down the stairs when he looked out the room and hid until him and another had a chance to leave.

    Apparently the gunman passed both an IL FOID and NICS Check to buy the gun used but should not have because he had a felony conviction in Mississippi for which he served prison time.

    Yeah I read that when he applied for concealed license this was discovered and he was ordered by ATF to surrender his firearms and IL revoked his FOID, not sure of timeline or when that happened, but obviously nothing was accomplished. Just another shining example of how successful gun free zones are, her cousin lucked out with his HK45 sitting in his center console outside.


    The shooting occurred when they told him he was being let go
