A gunman has killed at least 12 people after taking dozens hostage in the US state of New York, the governor says.

One suspected gunman was later found dead inside the immigration centre in Binghamton, federal officials told the Associated Press news agency.

The police are reported to have taken two other people from the building in plastic handcuffs.

Many people are reported to have been injured during the shooting, north-west of New York City.

Not again.

How easy is it to get hold of a firearm in the US?

AfterEffect · 3 Apr 2009 at 21:22

It's just like buying a car I think. You get a firearms license, buy your gun, register it, shoot stuff.

Too many guns, too many nutters, I hope that not many people get killed.

I'm going to start a petition to ban this horrifying morbid game. I'll run a campaign in The Daily Mail.

In before "they should have had guns so they could have stopped him"

:rolleyes:

Tragic, though.

If the civilians had guns they could have killed him before he did too much damage.

Edit:

In before "they should have had guns so they could have stopped him"

Too late ;_;

Your assuming that; they would have carried guns if they had been allowed to, they would have been in a position to use the gun, and that they would have been sucessful in killing him if they had. It's a fallacy to say that a building being a no gun zone resulted in those people dying.

also a lot of untrained jumpy people with guns are more than likley to shoot other paniky untrained people with guns thinking they're the gunman.

What difference would that make?

It was an immigration centre. Most of the people there were sitting an English test.
