At least nine people were critically injured early Sunday when a gunman opened fire in a busy entertainment district in Tucson, Arizona, before police officers shot him and stopped the threat, authorities said.

The shooting occurred around 2 a.m. local time in downtown Tucson, as the streets were teeming with people out for a night on the town, Officer Frank Magos, a spokesperson for the Tucson Police Department, said at a news conference Sunday.

    depends on the demographics of the victims and the shooter too. White on white or white on black is hidden. black on white is considered newsworthy. Political left against anyone is always news. muslim on anyone is always news. Victim is children is always news unless its rape. Victim is jewish is always news. Victim is rich is news. Victim is poor is not news. Victim is christian /mormon/catholic/buddhist/hindu is not news. Shooter is law enforcement is not news.
