At least 9 dead, 26 injured in mass shooting in downtown Dayton, Ohio; suspect identified

In the second mass shooting in less than 15 hours, at least nine people were killed and 27 injured early on Sunday after a gunman in body armor and wielding an AK-47-style assault rifle opened fire in downtown Dayton, Ohio, according to police.

The suspected shooter was shot and killed by responding officers "in less than a minute" after opening fire in the bustling Oregon District of Dayton, Mayor Nan Whaley said Sunday morning on ABC's "This Week." Police said they were only aware of one shooter.

"What's scary about that is that if they were not there, the hundreds of lost lives we would've had in the Oregon District," Whaley said.

The suspected gunman was identified as Connor Stephen Betts, multiple law enforcement sources told ABC News.

As a loyal NRA member and Second Amendment absolutist would put it: It is my Second Amendment right to express my views with a gun and to take innocent lives to reinforce that right. As Republican Joe The Plumber puts it, "Your dead kids don't trump my constitutional rights."

Does anyone else believe that it is way past the time to strictly regulate who can own a lethal weapon and under what circumstances? These white supremacist rampages at the urging of Anus-Mouth are a crime against humanity and are weakening our national security and our collective "pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness."
