One person was killed and four others were injured in Nevada, where police say an unhinged couple went on a random drive-by shooting spree throughout the city early Thanksgiving Day, authorities said.

Henderson police and fire departments began receiving "several" calls shortly after 12:30 a.m. Thursday from different people -- from various parts of the city -- who reported shots being fired at them, according to a press release later that day.

Just minutes before 1 a.m., police received a report of a shooting on East Lake Mead Parkway and arrived to find five people had been wounded or hurt, authorities said.

A 22-year-old man was discovered shot and killed at the scene. Police said four others a 23-year-old woman and three men, ages 18, 41 and 53 were injured. It was not clear if all four had been struck, but they were expected to survive their injuries.

Preliminarily, it is believed that the suspects were driving around the city randomly shooting at citizens with no apparent motive, police said.

Police initially identified the suspects as a man who was believed to be in his 20s or 30s with a beard and a woman believed to be in her 20s, both of whom had tattoos or painted faces.

Investigators later tracked the couple to Arizona, where they were arrested on unrelated charges, police said.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Arizona investigators linked the suspects to multiple shootings in the state.

Arizonas La Paz County Sheriff William Risen told the news site authorities moved in to arrest the pair on Thursday, at which point bullets were fired.

One of the people arrested in Arizona was transported to a local hospital via helicopter following the police-involved shooting, according to the report.

Both investigations remain active and ongoing.

I think the how is more important than the why for mass shooters. The why lies somewhere between "they felt wronged by society" and "they were really, really pissed off."

Jim Jeffries pegged it when he basically said that there's no illusion we can maintain that we're trying to prevent shit after nothing changed when Sandyhook happened.

We all know access to guns are a huge problem. But too many people are way too muh America about it to bother looking at real change. The founding fathers wrote those laws during a time when government was new, guns were new and took an entire minute to load a bullet, and we had just recently broken away from the rule of an empire.

Random killings are unfortunately going to happen, they've happened since the beginning of civilization, making that easier is going to make it happen more.

Ease of access leads to ease of behavior. Alcoholics Anonymous figured this out right away. Not that guns and alcohol are synonymous, I'm just making a point. You can't stop an alcoholic from drinking if they have booze in their fridge. Get rid of that first, then we can get somewhere.

I know it's satirical. I'm pointing out how obvious the prevention we need is, and The Onion points out in a wittier way. Your username is spot on, you're unfairly representing my point. It's clear to me that the point of my post wasn't the link and I don't believe it was unclear to you. So why? Is it to keep the topic alive? Is it because you only checked the link? Is it to protect yourself from needing to respond to something cohesive? Those questions are rhetorical and I don't need an answer; you definitely showed its not worth engaging with you here.

I don't agree with the logic of "theres no value in learning and trying to prevent suffering because the nation didnt go all in on gun control after Sandy Hook

That seems silly

That was really close to me, glad I live in a gated community, fuck.

Inma have to look more into this; they might be someone I've seen around at the grocery

You're arguing with a guy that has been pretending that he's trapped in the UK for several months now and who once told a user that he should be grateful for his abusive parents because they let him watch Dragon Ball Z.
