Quote(CNN)A gunman burst into a packed bar in Southern California and opened fire on people line dancing, killing at least 12 before he was found dead at the scene, authorities said.

Ventura County Sheriff's Sgt. Ron Helus was among those killed Wednesday night at the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, authorities said.
Helus had been at the department for nearly three decades, and was planning to retire within the next year, Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean said, choking back tears.
"Ron ... gave his all and tonight, he died a hero because he went in to save lives," Dean said.
The suspect, who has not been identified, was found dead inside the bar, Dean said. He said it's not known whether there's a terrorism link.

Pray for the victims and their families. No doubt many of the dead will be college freshmen just about to start their adult lives.

There seems to be an issue with the forum.

Date showing as 8th November 2018 for me.

Looks like it may have unscrewed itself, but time is still way off. Very strange.

Noticed also a couple of time that I'm on-line but not showing as being on line in the 'Who's active' list.

Bless you!

Now wipe it up.

Once again so many and mostly young lives lost for no reason.

Very strange - showing the correct date still for me.

JH, I now keep getting 'timeout' messages when posting.

Yes. Something is definitely going on. Unfortunately, we won't be able to resolve it until tomorrow evening. Everyone sit tight and don't press any red buttons.

OK

Maybe the issue is with Bob.

Bob, did you fall into any strange time anomaly "lately"?
Are you driving a Delorean and accidentally hit 88 MP/H?

As for the actual topic, this is really sad. :(
Lately these things seem to be getting more and more common.

I think I may have torn a hole in the space-time continuumumumumumum.
