Yellowstone National Park officials say a gunman killed by park rangers as he fired a semiautomatic rifle at the entrance of a dining facility with 200 people inside had told a woman he planned to carry out a mass shooting
The warning from a woman in Yellowstone National Park came in just after midnight on July Fourth: She'd just been held at gunpoint by a man who said he planned to carry out a mass shooting — a random attack common in the U.S. these days but not in the Yellowstone region, let alone the park itself.
Rangers spent the next several hours trying to find the gunman before he showed up outside a dining area with 200 people inside. He shot a barrage of bullets with a semi-automatic rifle at a service entrance.
The rangers — including one who was wounded — shot back. Their rounds hit the attacker, Samson Lucas Bariah Fussner, 28, of Milton, Florida, who died at the scene in the busy Canyon Village tourist lodge area near the scenic Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.

This man obviously needed a doctor and not a bullet, but here in America we only make one of those available to the public.
Support Universal Health Care
Agreed, but bro was already shooting.
By that point, a bullet seems appropriate. He was no longer fit for society.
Pretty sure they meant he needed a doctor well before it got to that point.
Yes. Yeah, I forgot I was on the internet and a complete and exhaustive post is always called for.
Meh. people who have committed murder can be and are rehabilitated (sometimes) and released back into society as "productive" members (I've known a few). But yeah, lethal force is acceptable to stop an active shooter.
"We are returning fire with guns that shoot pills, but the doc says it could take 2-3 weeks for it to build up in his system"
"If we don't see results by 6 weeks, we're going to try a different class of drugs."
Whose to say he didn't have one already? You're not wrong about healthcare in general, but I'm not sure this is really the right forum for that point to be made.
Every forum is the right forum for this point to be made, especially when it's dealing with an individual that OBVIOUSLY has some unresolved mental health issues .
No doubt about the mental health issues, and I agree it's a huge problem in the US. In terms of how the police responded to this though, it's really tough to judge. It seems they prevented something worse from taking place.
Their comment was not "we need to send doctors to respond to shooters."
Their comment was "we need universal healthcare so that people don't feel the need to do these kinds of things."
Holy shit your post history is a mess. Go earn your money else where, I'm going to go ahead and block you so my life will immediately improve you חרא מטונף.
I'm confused. I'm going to assume this reply was meant for someone else? I only started here like a week ago.
