Unreal. I've got nothing to add that isn't in the article itself, really. It sounds like most of the people who were killed were just collateral damage. One body had 50...FIFTY... entry and exit wounds. Somebody pissed off the wrong people, it seems, and got their family hurt in the process. Sad. The fact that an "AR" was used is probably goign to make bigger news than it should, of course. The saddest part of this story is that one individual was 8 months pregnant and neither the mother or child survived.

Very brutal attack, and very well calculated and planned. Two shooters, one with a handgun, one with a rifle. A few rounds are popped off with the handgun to create panic and funnel them into the backyard, presumably, and then the rifleman starts firing while there is little chance of escape.
The shooters obviously knew the layout of the backyard and obviously knew them well enough to know they were having an impromptu cookout that night.
Based on what the news is saying seems very much like retaliation for a past shooting or maybe even something drug related.
Either way the use of a rifle here is unusual and this was quite vengeful and personal.

Sounds a lot like this one from a few days ago:
5 killed in Pennsylvania by 2 gunmen
