I see conflicting stories: either he is dead, or his condition has been stabilized.

Yes, and I've heard the shooter is in custody, or the shooter is still at large.

No one could survive that neck wound. It was instantly fatal. There were pictures of the elderly shooter in custody.

Turns out they nabbed the wrong guy. They let him go. Perhaps he was giving off Gentile vibes. My daughter thought he looked like Larry David.

Turns out there was no security, and since it was a free-for-all, there were no tickets.

I am still reeling from this. I am so sad for our nation and especially the Kirk family.

I’m reading that they caught the shooter thanks to a Church minister reporting a confession about the shooting to the police. I guess that Randy Austin, an attorney for Kirton McConkie, would argue that this breach of clergy penitent privilege damages the situation and hinders the work to reduce gun deaths.
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

I'm seeing this post everywhere on social media. I don't know if it's accurate, but remember, according to Patheos, Charlie might very well still be alive and that the people behind this are a group of high ranking elite government officials (Mitt Romney included).
