Arriving police spotted two injured men on the ground in a parking lot and one of them reached for a gun as the officers moved in to assist them.

Schrock says officers then opened fire. The man was killed but it wasn't immediately clear if it was from police gunfire.

The other man one the ground and another man in the parking lot were found dead.

In a search of the complex, police found yet another man dead in one apartment and a slain woman in another.

A law enforcement source tells Q13 Fox it appears the shooting may have been a result of a fight that broke out in the parking lot of the apartment complex.

Already mentioned this - pure example of a biased terror state.

Only way to rid the problem is to make firearms illegal. Nonsense excuses to keep them.

Automatic weapons are under special licenses. I am a gun owner but do not have automatics.

Thanks for clarifying but remember the shooting incidence in school recently. The lady had automatic weapons and not just one gun. How did she got the license?

If you are referring to the Newtown shooting in Conn., no automatic weapons were involved. Many news organizations jumped the gun, so to speak, an assumed that because of the amount of deaths in such a short time, only an automatic weapon was possible. That was and is not true.

As for a special license to own, not carry, an automatic weapon, a person would have to submit to a more intensive background check and pay more for that license. A convicted felon will NOT be able to get a regular license, let alone for automatic weapons.

Please do some basic research before you post. These information are not secret.
