Flowers appear outside the home of Elizabeth Gannon, 49, of Pittsburgh who was one of three women shot and killed during a woman's aerobics class at the LA Fitness in the Great Southern shopping center in Bridgeville, Pa. I grew up in Pittsburgh, and was a proud resident of one suburb or another of that community up until about 10 years ago. I have shopped at the Great Southern Shopping Center in Bridgeville, Pa., too -- just a few miles south of where I grew up. So you can imagine my horror when I heard of the shootings that lead to the death of three young women taking an aerobics class there just a few days ago. Although I didn't know any of the victims, I want to offer my condolences to their families here on our fitness blog. One especially moving story told about the ordeal is offered by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, in the form of a video titled, "Maybe he won't shoot me again." Mary Primis was teaching her last dance class before maternity leave when the gunman entered and began shooting. Her husband Alex talks about the incident, and how the baby and Primis survived.

Thank you Mr Whitehouse and AG Lynch.
If one of these women had a concealed carry permit the outcome would have been much different, wouldn't it have been gentlemen?
As I said before, our Governmaent can't protect us and won't let us protect ourselves. What is wrong with this picture?
