Normally, after a “mass” shooting like what happened at a retirement home today in Long Beach, California, the media goes into meltdown mode for gun confiscation and more gun control. They trot out retreads like David Hogg to try and make legal gun owners feel guilty for the “mass” shooting. Yet, like the New Jersey night club shooting a couple of weeks ago in which 22+ were shot, the national media is completely ignoring this shooting at a retirement home in Long Beach.

There was also an explosion reported at the retirement home before the “suspect” shot three people and killed a 17 year veteran firefighter named Dave Rosa. Even in local L.A. media, hours after the shooting and explosion, there is absolutely no information about the suspect that has been captured. No name, no physical description, nothing. I wonder why..
The fire captain who died after gunfire erupted as officials were responding to a fire at a senior living facility in Long Beach Monday morning had been with the department for 17 years, officials said.
Dave Rosa, 45, had also served as captain of Fire Station 10 for the last six and a half years, said Long Beach Fire Chief Mike Duree.
He leaves behind a wife and two children.
“This is a tough day,” Duree said, pausing tearing up. “It’s a tough day.”
Firefighters could be seen embracing and consoling each other outside St. Mary Medical Center, where Rosa was treated, in aerial video from the scene.
A “last call” issued for Rosa over authorities’ communication system around 8:10 a.m. — after roll call was taken and he had not answered — signed off with words from a traditional Irish blessing: “May the sun shine upon his path, may wind always be at his back and may the Lord hold him in the palm of his hands until we meet again.”
