Active Shooter in Amarillo??

Perth, Australia
June 14, 2016 12:34pm CST
This just came up as Breaking News on my Facebook saying that there is an active shooter who may have hostages in Walmart. Not much information has been given out but if what I have read is accurate, then....what the hell man! Has anyone else heard anything about this or have any other information to share?

Not heard anything yet! It's in Texas? Edit: Just checked it. You are thinking about Wesley, aren't you? They are saying shooter is taken down. An employee held another employee hostage.

Wow, I have to start paying closer attention to the news! I didn't even know there was a situation in Texas! Living here in Florida, all we've been hearing about on the news 24/7 is the mass shooting in Orlando.

@VivaLaDani13 Thank you Dani for thinking of me! I appreciate that! I actually was down in Orlando the day before, but I was safely back in Gainesville when the shooting happened. Even when I am down there visiting, I tend to avoid the downtown bars and clubs, and spend more time on the outskirts of the city where things are less pompous. Most of my friends down there live in the suburbs anyway, so it's not often I venture into the core of the city. I did have a friend of mine at that club the night of the shooting, but he had left hours earlier and was already home when the shootings started.

@moffittjc I only keep watch because I follow News Groups on Facebook. But yeah it just popped up and I saw it. All over by now thank goodness. Too much going on lately all at once. Man.....not that you were in the area but I was thinking of you when that happened to be honest. I was worried actually. Like I said....I doubt you were in that place but just because of it happening in Florida, I worried.

Here's a link on the story:
Amarillo, Texas, police shot a man Tuesday after he barricaded himself in a local Walmart store with hostages in what authorities believe was a "workplace violence event," according to a spokeswoman for the city of Amarillo. A police SWAT team entered...

@VivaLaDani13 During the in between times, I fill myself up with the beauty of nature and all the wonderful things that happen. I find good news to talk about rather than bad. And there is so much more good in the world than bad. So it's a wonderful way to spend time while bad things aren't happening!

@CRK109 Thankfully the situation was taken care of quite fast. But no doubt there will be another negative thing happening soon.

I hate to hear of things happening so fast and often. How bad is it and how many were shot? The world has gone mad. I pray for our safety. I just looked and it said they have killed the gunman. Where will it all end?

Maybe I'd better watch the news tonight. Then again, maybe I won't.

@JudyEv lol I know. I like to watch sometimes but usually by the end of watching the news, I am drained out from all the negativity.

What's wrong with the world?... Too much drama and too much killing. Is it really that difficult to live in peace?

@rachz_kisses I have a feeling like it's too late to try and make peace. The world is just too screwed and angry.
