#NBCNews #Shooting #NewMexico
Gun Terrorist Nation! Sanction America for these extreme human rights abuses!
LORD help us
This is why everyone needs an ar 15
I hope this is sarcasm.
@Rexx a citizen with a rifle ready to go could had responded here on site instead of police…. Soooo yeah… I have an AK loaded at all times ready to go… let some psycho come blasting at unarmed people in my neighborhood… I will certainly try to stop him/her.
@Rexx he had a 9mm Glock, why would he be kiding
@Enraged Ghandi yeah because everyone is going to be walking around everywhere with rifles. 🙄
He’s 18 and legally bought a gun a year ago 🤔 what are the laws in NM
Gun laws are irrelevant to criminally minded individuals. What’s your point?
Exactly! It all doesn’t make sense. Funny how we (New Mexico) has never really has a (Mass Sh00t¡Ng) at least not in recent history, until our governor recently tried putting in place Oregon style 🔫 laws.
Yeah, it didn’t pass. All of a sudden this happens. Think people. Think about the ODDS of these coincidences we’ve been having the last past couple of years all I er the nation. All the food processing plants burning. All the Train derailments and truck wrecks with chemicals or animals being studied by CDC. All the mass 🔫 ings right around the time were the govt is trying there VERY BEST to ban most 🔫’s.
No description of shooter? Ya no maga hats involved.
Here we go again white shooter first thing they sat mental health 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
This is sad! But normal!
“What’s the race of the shooter?…oh wait…”
U must be black to make everything about race…look at the inner city oh wait…
Was the name not enough to conclude he was white?
Lots of abusive teachers out there. All over the country, but especially in NM I’ve unfortunately known a few. Reporting it does nothing. It’s very sad it has to come to these extremes when kids aren’t protected and don’t get proper mental health aide.
@The Number 3 there is no solution
@Marisa Martin Exactly! Many in the past growing up had to deal with things on a regular thar today would be considered abuse, yet aren’t shooting up places.
Mental health issues do not cause premeditated mass murder. Sensitivity issues does though. A bunch of sissies who can’t man up nor grow a pair.
An example below.
“My dad won’t buy me a PS5 because my grades are bad?! I hate this world! Burn it all! I hate everyone!!!”
Ariel is a blank bot account
@J. Zeedirty lib, it is our god given right. This is god’s country and if you hate freedom so much, then leave!
Who goes on a shooting rampage right before they’re about to graduate high school? I have a feeling that this loser had to attend summer school.
Man this is sickening poor woman retired nurse spent her life saving only 2 b gunned down in cold blood smfh living in America
18 is adult. and a granny killer at then. boring killer. lol
I’m guessing another progressive wanting to usher in more gun control. Kids these days.
Terrible tragedy, however just the facts,please I’m tired of inserting opinions and pretending its news
When progressives wanted more government control over Twitter, what did they do? They spammed it with racial insults. Hoping to justify censorship. Well progressives are doing it with gun control.
Another entitled failure
It’s that season, I guess.
Let’s be honest here. The 13% of black males contributes to 70% of crime in this country that’s a fact. But all the mass shootings and school shootings are perpetrated by white males about 98% of time. Who is more violent?
Crime can be non violent, for example drug possession.
Mass shootings are about as violent as you can get.
Educate yourself
@You are Incorrect i might’ve worded that the wrong way. I’m talking about gun crimes. I’m pretty sure black people been filling up the archives more then whites. But white crimes are more sinister with multiple casualties in one burst of violence .
Considering the last two shootings before this where Mexicans and not whites I would assume blacks are still more violent
Satan doesn’t have a motive. Why ask that question? It is pointless.
Honoring the Ladies 🌹
This hurts.
Wish more people around him had guns… maybe could have prevented some of those deaths
Maybe just stop selling semi automatic weapons to mentally ill individuals.
It’s not rocket science
What state do you guys think the next mass shooting will be? Im guessing ohio or texas.
Considering the trend in under 24 hours you’ll have your answer
Nah its definitely gonna be Texas
California
He had it for GILF
You guys need to start titling the shooter nationally “American citizen” just as you guys use the illegal immigrant to a Latino.
C. A’s . Hmmm????
This world is sick.
No, just the US.
Let .e guess why this wasn’t on the news. All white .
I thought illegal guns was band from being used in mass shootings?
MK Ultra at its finest
This is so sad
Agree
Ppl are so selfish I bet his white! Because your parents divorced you killing ppl!
Looks like hate crime
Glad he is dead. The only good thing from this
Are you ready for reasonable gun control YET? If not, pick a number of victims that will finally resonate with you. Because we’ll get there.
1 million per year.
That’s my number. 1 million people would have to be murdered by guns annually for guns to be a problem.
Still think we’ll get there?
It’s a societal issue, and an issue of mental health. Ban and/or restrict guns, they will learn how to make improvised explosive devices or drive their cars through crowds of people. They will continue to commit horrific acts by whatever means necessary until mental health is correctly addressed, and societal issues like affordable housing, and things like not being able to live or afford things without a well paying career. People are lost mentally and we don’t care about our own citizens well-being and livelihoods. People treat eachother poorly as well, and that’s just another flame to add to the fire.
Nope
Funny how we (New Mexico) has never really has a (Mass Sh00t¡Ng) at least not in recent history, until our governor recently tried putting in place Oregon style 🔫 laws.

It’s not a coincidence.
yeah, it’s a societal issue, yeah it’s a mental issue, and that mental societal issue is…. GUNS smh .. but okay if you need further clarification… that mental societal issue is … MURICA fix it or leave it
Haven’t enough people in America have been affected by mass shootings. When do the people elect leaders that will help effect change
Keep in mind this is a fake news media outlet
IT WAS THE PERSON THAT DID THIS NOT THE GUNS SO DO NOT BLAME INANIMATE OBJECTS BECAUSE MY SON IN LAW HAS BEEN WATCHING HIS FOR A WEEK AND IT HASN’T MADE NO MENACING MOVES SINCE HE PUT IT BACK IN THE GUN RACK.
I have carried concealed for a while and my Glock has never hopped out and gunned down innocents… weird 😂 crazy my brother how these dems libs and lefts seem to think banning or restricting or whatever term they use will stop anything except law abiding citizens from protecting themselves 😎
Following up a story like that with Lester’s NBC app ad promo is so inappropriate. The news has no conscience. So sorry for the victims and Families.
It’s all about the ratings and money. Much like CNN without the Trumpy town hall. Gone are the days of Walter Cronkite.
@Loves Pancakes heck even the days of Dan Rather and Scott Pelley have long departed
trump’s america
Biden is the president. Biden’s America is death
Blank bot account
I guess anytime the media don’t blast the face of the shooter we know it have to be from the barbarian class
What’s the barbarian class? Like the Conan movie?
Like the Gauls? Or celts? No no wait… the Saxons? No…. The Huns!!! 😒
James is a blank bot ac
@Jayson Oweh think it is an AI or not?
America, love your guns? Enjoy your freedom. You reap what you sow. Truth hurts sometimes.
What are you saying? Be specific.
More disingenuous gaslighting.
I know thinking isn’t the anti gun cults strong suit, but if ya actually want stuff like this to end, ya gotta get to the WHY, then fix it, instead of taking the intellectually dishonest road of blaming the tool used to do evil…
Yes I am still enjoying my freedom despite you boot licking sheep I bet you do whatever your government tells you to do like a good little sheep
Sure do love my guns. What’s it to ya, goat banger?
Neil Feinberg quit with WHITE EXCUSES.
ITS TIME FOR GUN 🔫 CONTROL
So many second amendment slaughters, you can’t even remember the one from two weeks ago.
2A isn’t a right to murder. Nice try at gaslighting though.
Not news 📰
NBC loves ❤️ mass shooters and incites more of them through democrat media propaganda marketing for profits 💵 on social media platforms for clicks, likes, subscribes and click-ads. NBC media marketing propaganders make millions by posting series of stories across all social media platforms and gives the shooters national publicity and encites more MEDIA COPY CAT MASS SHOOTERS.
😢😢😢😢
More white people bite the dust
This is America! Don’t catch you slippin, now
WHY WON’T THEY SHOW HIS FACE WHITE PRIVILEGE
Why won’t they show his photo?
Because he’s white. And white people have to minimize the truth that white people can be monsters too.
🙏😢🙏
I guess we don’t have money to treat Americans with metal issues but we do have money to give free benefits to illegals. We don’t have money to build our border, but we do have money to fund Jordans border wall. Hypocrisy of democrats is mind boggling.
Bullying
New Mexico law has to change in murder cases. In New Mexico you are considered a juvenile until the age of 21, and tried in a juvenile courts.
No specific age limit on shotgun or rifles. For handguns, I believe under 19. Law just passed if your firearms are not locked and somehow stolen and used in a crime, the owner is liable.
@Southwest Sasquatch lol imagine thinking that’s true
Which part? Because he used a legally purchased rifle.
@Jayson Oweh for real. The amount of misinformation is crazy here
That’s horrible why do they keep doing this
Anything on that Nashville manifesto? No? Wrong narrative? Got it.
He’s an adult, why are they disguising his face?!
He is a subhuman pile of garbage… he doesn’t deserve fame.
The part about his parents getting divorced was an interesting thing to add. My parents got divorced and I didn’t get the urge to rampage on random people.
May the souls of the victims rest in peace.
@PutDownThePipe troll, calm down… mass killings are rare bud. Get off mainstream media and follow the independent journalists and you’ll see it is only a political talking point to gain votes… that is all. The scary part is that if the left succeeds and wins the gun control game… we will all lose… all other freedoms
@PutDownThePipeI didn’t see it that way. Maybe it takes one to know one kind of thing I guess
@Cotton Hill you’re one of those people who gives literal responses to things that are CLEARLY sarcasm. Always makes me laugh.
@PutDownThePipe once again. Takes one to know one…. At least we can relate on something now.
@Cotton Hill I feel like you’re lost, mostly talking to yourself and just speaking gibberish.
At least the victims got to live nice long lives.
They got to lose something that was much more precious to them
Little criminal…I’m glad he is gone. Always mental health is to blame…where is the photo of the criminal?
Buried with this pile of excrement…
Was he an “illegal”? Not seeing a flood of comments so maybe he wasn’t.
“Concerns for mental health” yet he was stockpiling guns.
1:05 Which body part is the “Karse”?
What was the motive?
He hates old people?
What do you expect. Nuclear family is broken. Now we have broken young men
So knowone knew this kid need mental health help? Parents anyone the school 😉 sad we can’t stop this
RIP Beau
Here we go with the mental health scenario! Please give folks a chance, one day even to grieve the ones that were killed/injured. Already trying to change the narrative!
Change the narrative?? So there is a narrative, and you want others to wait before they do the thing that you’ve already done…
We’ll never know why because they kiled the suspect
How did he purchase the gun at 17
Exactly! This is all BS.
Funny how we (New Mexico) has never really has a (Mass Sh00t¡Ng) at least not in recent history, until our governor recently tried putting in place Oregon style 🔫 laws.
Yeah, it didn’t pass. All of a sudden this happens. Think people. Think about the ODDS of these coincidences we’ve been having the last past couple of years all I er the nation.

All the mass 🔫 ings right around the time were the govt is trying there VERY BEST to ban most 🔫’s.
It’s not a coincidence.
Americans not going to stop until the government cals Marshall law
They arent sure the motive, the CIA hasnt publishee it yet.
The Republicans have a stranglehold on gun policy. Does anyone think they are doing a good job? Do they have people’s safety as THE top priority?
Ummm but dems are the ones pushing gun control sooo your comment has no merit… makes no sense 😂 only way to protect people better than scribbles on a piece of paper is… firearm training and to carry a gun with plenty of spare ammunition. And be ready willing and able. 😎
@1lorijb A lot harder to go on a killing spree with a shovel, hence why proper gun laws work in every country that has them.
@KelsierTheMule misinformation
@Enraged Ghandi Sure, keep killing yourselves down there so you can pretend guns for everyone isn’t a problem, meanwhile the rest of the first world doesn’t have these problems.
@KelsierTheMule Gun safety advocates aren’t even talking about ban. Just safer and smarter to whom guns are sold to. Gun people have been brainwashed to automatically think of “ban” when someone wants to make it safer.
🇺🇲,..allowing weapons of war on your streets- puts civilians and kids on the frontlines..sitting ducks🥀Stop the Insanity💔
“Weapons of War” delusional buzzword
Thoughts of prayers and prayers of thoughts
LaWzZ and gUnZz and GuNzZ and lAwZz.
These days motive isn’t needed. The motive is how easy it is to access weapons. Legal or stolen.
The motive is it’s fun to pull triggers. Loud noises are fun. Breaking glass and shooting cars is fun. Thanks for making it so easy to get guns. But it’s still too hard and still not enough guns in the streets. Can you give us some more please? Before the Democrats take them away?………….. Good ad campaign for gun stock market and republican election huh. Double triple the sales
What has any cop ever done to be proactive. The self serving, all entitled mercenaries show up late and useless to present as heros. Defund the police, give back our guns, we don’t need 911.
Does it not seem odd how these shootings ramp up leading up to a presidential election and shootings like this happen almost daily in places like Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, and many others why am I not seeing those stories
Welcome to Biden’s America, a “mostly peaceful” place ❤️🇺🇸
Really, think about how our country is going into shambles; A leader, a president protects his country – it’s the President’s number 1# job. Do you/we feel protected? I don’t feel safe!
Biden, got into office and stopped all things that were working, making America prosperous and independent to NO law and order; blowing up our food plants, killing cows and chickens; forcing us to buy electric cars, forcing people to buy electric stoves and forcing digital banking. Why? Read about China and how they control their people.
NO President, leader in the USA has ever until now has done that. The President is NOT ALLOWED to victimize and control the peoples personal lives…Only Communist countries do this.
Oddly similar to Charles Bronson movie “Telefon”
Could this be an MK Ultra operation?
Get real, no such thing as mental health. It’s all about how you were raised. You treat others like you had expected to treat yourself. He did not have a mental health problem. He was really a child with a tantrum
Let’s allow more losers to own guns.
Wow news media goes out of the way to avoid calling white male gun illness for what it is. Blame divorce but just don’t blame the entitled white punks or thier failed parents who have been killing us all one by one. Parents should now be put in jail regardless of the age of thier killer child or if the child died in the act of killing. They are the ones who had the responsibility to protect us from their offspring and they failed. More parents that see parents in jail will think twice before ignoring a red flag. Just one white woman’s thoughts on the topic.
Again and again the same tragedy with weapon’s…!!!!!
My condolences.
If your world falls apart because of your parent’s divorce, then it wasn’t that secure to begin with.
Kids are so mentally unwell nowadays. It’s literally a threat to the stability of our society.
Exactly. I’ve been pushing for legislation that allows my children to carry protection to school. They’re very well trained and would be able to protect themselves and other kids. If more kids were trained and allowed to carry protection, we could all feel safer.
No they’re not mentally ill they just never got that butt whooping they should have gotten when they were growing up. It’s always white kids whose parents didn’t raise them right. You don’t see black kids going around shooting up people in malls and schools. MENTAL ILLNESS MY A–
Funny how we (New Mexico) has never really has a (Mass Sh00t¡Ng) at least not in recent history, until our governor recently tried putting in place Oregon style 🔫 laws.
Yeah, it didn’t pass. All of a sudden this happens. Think people. Think about the ODDS of these coincidences we’ve been having the last past couple of years all I er the nation.

All the mass 🔫 ings right around the time were the govt is trying there VERY BEST to ban most 🔫’s.
It’s not a coincidence. All these innocent lives taken, because of foolish young misguided adults, and officials who will stop at nothing to get what they want.
Guns. This is all because America loves guns. Take away the guns and this kind of thing ends. so so so simple. Lives would have been saved today if there were no Guns.
All due to a defective individual. Divorce? Ha.
Another citizen exercising his 2nd amendment right is just a normal day in America.
No person younger than 21 years old shall own a gun
Thoughts and prayers. Make sure to vest up and carry protection for every family member when you go out or you’re asking for this to happen.
Rip Gwendolyn Schofield, Melody Ivie, and Shirley Voita, you will be missed
The new detail is the shooter was a transgender terrorist drag queen.
