A major artery in injury would have killed him in minutes. Reports say he's in a critical condition in hospital, if correct his chances will have improved and if he survives the "golden hour" they will improve further.
That is surprising considering what people online are saying. I have no intention of watching the video!
I've watched it, and though I'm no medical expert, I'd be staggered if he survives that.
I've only heard he's a in critical condition in a Utah hospital (Associated Press). Other sources maybe more accurate.
Not really mate. Automatic weapons are pretty rare in the US and there's tonnes of hoops to jump through to purchase them. In most states they're outright banned
While everyone online seems pretty upset by this, there is a lot of reposting Kirk’s comment that kids dying in schools is worth it if it preserves the second amendment.
I went to the supermarket in Florida and was shocked to find myself on the rifle aisle…
Fair enough but from the outside looking in it still seems too easy to get one (legally or not).
Oh yeah. Plenty of handguns and semi-automatic weapons. I wasn't trying to mug off Tom, I just think it's important to draw distinctions when they really matter
I have watched it, i would be amazed if he survives that.
Edit ….just seen someone says he died.
It hurts the whole continent. Almost every gun on the streets of Mexico is brought over from America too.
I mean, I know we’re not doing brilliantly over here, but that country is well and truly broken.
That poor Iryena girl being murdered on the subway too.
I just fear the repercussions now.

And over there it is an exaggerated echo of here.
What happens to a nation that neglects social welfare? That cuts spending on mental health? Where hopes and aspirations are the national mythology but poverty is the national truth?
Drug addiction. Violent crime. Racial unrest. Political turmoil.
It is shocking how a country can go from Obama to Trump. I just feel that Trump will become notorious in history as the equivalent of King John in England. He will be seen as America's most inept president. Both his domestic and foreign policies have been disastrous and even his supporters are disillusioned.
I am convinced he will be removed from office and America will take notice only when Russia has invaded much of Eastern Europe and many countries have flocked towards China. Unless Trump is gone within the next 12 months, the globe will look very different and America's role in it will be diminished

Thought better of you! Im outta here for a while! The left on twitter (fascist right wing twitter?) sharing gifs of concert/football crowds celebrating and you come out with that filth? Get a mirror!
He will not be removed from office. Not a chance. And even if he’s gone, Vance isn’t going to meaningfully change course
