An adult and a toddler were shot inside a barbershop in the Barracks Row area of Southeast Washington on Friday afternoon.

Assistant Police Chief Peter Newsham described a terrifying scene inside the shop in the 1100 block of Eighth Street SE. Three men wearing masks entered the store about 1:40 p.m. At least one opened fire, hitting the adult man multiple times and also shooting the child, whom police believe is the adult victim’s son.

Newsham said that the masked men were not there to rob the store. They appeared to be targeting someone, though it was not clear that the adult was the intended target.

A woman who said she was unhappy with her haircut returned to a San Diego salon and tried shooting her barber, but the gun jammed and employees tackled the woman, police and the barber told NBC 7.

The incident happened at the 619 Barber Shop on the 3900 block of 30th Street, where 29-year-old Adrian Blanche Swain went to get a trim.

Disgruntled, the woman pulled out a gun and tried firing at Montero, police said. The gun was loaded but malfunctioned, clicking three times as Swain allegedly tried to fire off rounds.

80% of all gun crime in America is committed by gang-bangers in the inner city and most of that is over illegal drug turf created by BIG socialist, progressive authoritarian government's Drug War.

Government is corruption by definition and the BIGGER the government, the BIGGER the corruption. Only authoritarian progressive morons ignore that fact.

Tsk tsk, you've been drinking the Kool-aid, Lobo. That's a false statistic about gun crime.

"In a scathing critique of ABC's recent report "Young Guns," Dana Loesch positing that "a staggering 80 percent of gun homicides are gang-related." As it turns out though, not only is her statement factually incorrect, as the majority of gun deaths are suicides, but there is not a shred of evidence to support her characterization that gangs are the driving force behind firearm violence...

So, do we have a gang problem or a gun problem? Data collected by the National Gang Center, the government agency responsible for cataloging gang violence, makes clear that it's the latter. There were 1,824 gang-related killings in 2011. This total includes deaths by means other than a gun. The Bureau of Justice Statistics finds this number to be even lower, identifying a little more than 1,000 gang-related homicides in 2008. In comparison, there were 11,101 homicides and 19,766 suicides committed with firearms in 2011."

You're initial presentation is false...:

Homicide occurs when one human being causes the death of another human being

...so could you please explain how a suicide is one human causing the death of another human being??

And you then tried to include SUICIDES in the stats for HOMOCIDES, when the discussion was about HOMOCIDES.

Therefore, speaking of dopes; it would appear that you've painted yourself into that picture. :D

A 54-year-old Euclid man was accidentally shot while playing cards at a friend's Cleveland home.

The victim suffered the gunshot wound at his friend's house near the intersection of East 127th Street and Shaw Avenue in Cleveland's Forest Hills neighborhood, the report states.

The man told police that there was a "card game party" at the house. The victim and three other men were playing cards when he heard a "pop," the police report says.

The victim said he was confused but about a minute later, he realized he had been shot, the report states. He knew the man who shot him, but said that the gun went off when it was accidentally dropped.

911 callers reported that a person was lying in the road near the intersection of Northwest Boulevard and Rockford Road after being shot. Scanner traffic reported that the shooter had fled in a black vehicle.

It is not clear whether the shooter and the person killed in the street knew each other, Goldstein said.

Four minutes later, someone called 911 to report that a man had pointed “a long gun” at him at an apartment complex in the 5200 block of Annapolis Lane N., Goldstein said. He declined to confirm that the building was the shooter’s residence, although scanner traffic reported that earlier.

Plymouth police officers went into the building to confront the gunman, and he was killed in the subsequent exchange of gunfire in “tight quarters,” Goldstein said. He said it was not yet known whether the gunman killed himself or was killed by police.

Of course you can argue rationally how a "gun," (an inanimate object), is a "problem," right?

Do we have a gun problem or a "people" problem? I'll argue the latter and look forward for your arguments how a gun goes into the streets, schools, churches and other places and shoots people.

Just days ago a woman had her throat cut in a bar by another woman who broke a beer bottle over the victim's head and used the jagged glass stub of the bottle to cut the victim's throat. Do we have a "beer bottle" problem, or a people problem?

Don't you know jerkoff? The gun walked into the man's house and the gun shot him. Oh! wait maybe he was mugged and shot by an inner city gangbanger over a DRUG WAR deal, huh?

I specifically addressed your comment that "80% of gun homicides are gang-related." Statistics show that's false.
