UPDATED: U.S. ROSTER OF GUN & TERRORIST INFLICTED DEATHS



NOTE: November 5, 2017. 
As of this date, PillartoPost.org is discontinuing our logging of selected mass murder incidents.  We haven't given up our zeal to bring the heat toward weapons of mass destruction being sold in the U.S.  We bow to a far more comprehensive gun violence blog that is doing a better job: CLICK HERE. 

Pillartopost.org's FINAL ROSTER
November 5, 2017. Another fucked up loser made earth a living hell for the families and friends of 26 defenseless human beings (ages 1 to 77), who were murdered while sitting in church pews.  Dozen more were wounded. Devin Kelley, 26, has been identified as the ambusher, who fired his AK-16 into the church while services were being conducted.  First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, Texas (near San Antonio) was the site of the bloody mass shooting. The pastor’s young teen daughter was among those shot to death.  A nearby resident is reported to have intercepted the shooter forcing the killer to drop his rifle and flee. Authorities found the slime dead in his vehicle with a bullet to his head.  He had other wounds possibly inflicted by the armed resident who along with another passerby chased the killer.
Weapons: Ruger-AR556 rifle, which was found at the church; 9mm Glock handgun, which was found in the shooter's car and a Ruger 22 handgun, which was also found in the shooter's car.

November 1, 2017.  Fitting the profile of a classic loser/coward, Scott Ostrem, 47, has been arrested by Colorado law enforcement as the main suspect in a random shooting killing three human beings.  Surveillance cameras show Ostrem entering and leaving what became the deadly crime scene, a Wal-Mart in Thornton, a community tangent to Denver. The firearm has not been identified.

Rate for gun deaths continues to increase

The U.S. rate for gun deaths has increased for the second straight year, following 15 years of no real change, a government report shows.

Roughly two-thirds of gun deaths are suicides and those have been increasing for about 10 years. Until recently, that has been offset by a decline in people shot dead by others. But there’s been a recent upswing in those gun-related homicides, too, some experts said.

Overall, the firearm death rate rose to 12 deaths per 100,000 people last year, up from 11 in 2015, according to the report released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Before that, the rate had hovered just above 10 — a level it had fallen to in the late 1990s.

In the early 90s, it was as high as 15 per 100,000 people.

In the past two years, sharp homicide increases in Chicago and other places that have been large enough to elevate the national statistics. According to the FBI’s raw numbers, the tally of U.S. homicides involving guns rose to nearly 11,000 last year, from about 9,600 the year before.

Overall, there were more than 38,000 gun deaths last year, according to the CDC. That’s up from about 36,000 in 2015, and around 33,500 each year between 2011 and 2014. --ASSOCIATED PRESS

October 1, 2017.  How fucked is this day! As if we didn’t have as a nation enough enemies who want to harm us then comes a white loser, an ultimate sad ass coward named Stephen Paddock, who fires into a crowd of concertgoers from his 32nd hotel floor window.  The heartless satan at this time in the investigation has slaughtered in cold blood at least 58 human beings and wounding more than 528+.  Proving is cowardice, authorities in the Mandalay Hotel in Las Vegas found him dead in his room.  The 64-year-old sniper, an embarrassment to mankind, had taken his worthless life.  This assault on humanity is now among the largest mass shootings in U.S. History.  Think about that America as gun shops across our nation continue this very day selling these weapons of mass destruction across counters.  Wow, 59 innocent persons dead, but we as a nation can say we didn’t violate his 2nd amendment right to bear rapid fire arms. Contact your Congress reps and urge them to ban all rapid fire weapons and make possession of such a serious crime. Weapons of Choice: Estimates of 10 firearms at the crime scene many of them rapid fire long rifles.  For New Yorker article "No peace with the 2nd amendment." Click here.

He was one of at least three killed in shootings from Saturday to Sunday. The two others, 20 and 21 years old, were killed in incidents elsewhere in the city.
His death would become another entry in a fast-moving police log of murder investigations, many with no suspects in custody.
Officer Jose Estrada, a spokesman with the Chicago Police Department, said in a telephone interview Sunday that total homicides this year were 745, a 56 percent increase from 476 at the same time last year. This year was the first time in nearly two decades that more than 700 homicides had been recorded in the city, The Chicago Tribune reported this month.
Estrada said the total number of shooting victims stood at 4,252, up 47 percent from 2,884 at the same time in 2015.
Data of the shootings over Christmas weekend logged by The Chicago Tribune reflected a relentless crime blotter: Nearly all the people shot were men, the majority younger than 30.
The brutal cold of a Chicago winter has not been as reliable a deterrent of violence as it has been in the past: 42 homicides have been recorded this month, compared with 33 during the entire month of December last year, according to The Tribune’s data.--The New York Times and Chicago Tribune.
