Before weighing in on all or parts of what transpired, and why, this editorial board will let a few days go by. There is certain to be more information, and more complete information, by the end of the week. Then some editorial comment is more likely to be on-topic.

In the meantime, our condolences to those who lost family members and friends, and our thanks to the law enforcement officers who brought the shooting to an end and to the medical personnel who aided the many wounded.

Mass shootings are occurring too frequently in this country.
