A CRAZED gunman has killed seven people and wounded another before being shot dead himself during a shootout with police in Ohio.

Cops say the gunman shot his girlfriend in one home before 11am on Sunday, then ran to a next-door neighbor's house, where he shot her brother and gunned down four neighbors in the town of Copley.

He then chased four people - two through neighboring backyards - shooting one of them before bursting into a nearby home, where two others had sought refuge.

Police said he shot his eighth victim in that home then left, only to get into a gunfight outside with a police officer and a citizen who had been a police officer. The gunman, whose name was not released, was killed.

1. SAVES taxpayers a bundle on trial and incarceration!

My condolences to the families of the victims. It just goes to demonstrate once again, that angry people with guns kill people, lots of innocent people.

2. Too bad the coward took others with him.

3. I see no evidence

in the story that the shooter was a "gun nut" (can I use the phrase if the OP found it in a tabloid headline?).

4. So was he a gun nut, or a nut with a gun?

"gun nuts" are generally harmless and pretty helpful when shooting or collecting. A nut with a gun is another failed healthcare story, and a scumbag that victimized innocent people and the firearm of his choice.

5. Fight crime.

Be prepared to shoot back. I don't plan on being a victim or statistic.
