MUSKEGON, Mich. (AP) — A man was jailed Sunday after a shootout outside of a western Michigan social club killed two men and a woman and injured five others, authorities say.

Muskegon police got a call about 2 a.m. Sunday saying there was gunfire at the Elks Charity Lodge, according to MLive.com.

Police said they found two men dead outside the club. A 20-year-old woman was shot and run over by a driver trying to flee police, police said. She died at a hospital. Police said they were searching Sunday afternoon for the vehicle that struck the woman.

All the victims were from the Muskegon area, police said. They said the five injured all had gunshot wounds.

4. Nobody saw this coming. Drinking. Shooter loose on a warrant. Lodge was site of previous shooting.

Hmmmm.

Clearly, this is the fault of the Second Amendment right to bear arms.

6. Alchohol and guns = gasoline and fire, but the Republican Legislature in Tennessee can't/couldn't

see it coming for they passed a law allowing guns to be brought in to bars.

9. Those laws require that the carrier not drink. n/t

10. I'm wondering how many people go into a bar not to drink, other than maybe the employees?

I would imagine some might, but it would be a very small percentage.

12. Well, often it's a bar & grill

Lots of people go to them (think Chili's or Buffalo Wild Wings or Olive Garden) for dinner or lunch.

So it's entirely possible to be in a place serving alcohol but not be there to drink or get drunk.

5. Ya know, we probably do need a new group

Mass shooter of the day
and
Accidental shooter of the day, too.

sigh.
Feels like the caged rat syndrome has hit peak tolerance around the globe.

7. Elks Charity Lodge and El-Joy Temple -- doesn't look like a good place to be at 2:00 am

Doesn't look like a good part of town on Google Maps.

8. If only someone had a gun, this could have been prevented.

...or some other happy horseshit statement like that.

11. Alcohol + guns = guess what.

2 AM, last call is over. Some dude brings a gun to the "social club" (read that... Bar).

What could go wrong?
