Gunman kills 12 in California bar packed with students
Continued from page 01
The venue in the quiet,
upscale Thousand Oaks
suburb had been hosting
an event for college students,
with possibly several
hundred young people
in attendance, Captain
Garo Kuredjian of the Ventura
County Sheriff's office
said earlier.
Matt Wennerstron, a
20-year-old college student
and regular at the bar, said
the shooter fired a shortbarreled
pistol that apparently
had a 10-15 round
magazine.
"It was just semi-automatic,
as many shots as he
could pull, and then when
it started to reload that's
when we got people out
of there and I didn't look
back."
He said he and others
smashed their way out
of the bar onto a balcony
and then jumped down to
safety. "One bar stool and
straight through a window,"
he told reporters.
TV footage showed
SWAT teams surrounding
the bar, with distraught
revelers milling around
and using their cell phones
as lights from police cars
flashed.
Holden Harrah, a
young man who saw the
incident, cried as he told
CNN that a place where he
goes every week to have
fun with friends had been
a scene of carnage.
"A gentleman walked
in the front door and shot
the girl that was behind
the counter. I don't know if
she is alive," he said.
The Los Angeles Times
quoted a law enforcement
official as saying at least 30
shots had been fired.
An unnamed witness
told the newspaper that
someone ran into the bar
around 11.30 pm and started
shooting what looked to
be a black pistol.
"He shot a lot, at least

we will not be accepting applications
from those under 18.”
Special rules already allow citizens
of Ireland and Gurkhas from
Nepal to join the British armed
forces. The five-year UK residency
requirement for Commonwealth recruits
was first waived in 1998, before
being reintroduced in 2013.
A limited waiver to the residency
requirement was introduced in
May 2016 to recruit up to 200 Commonwealth
personnel per year to fill
skilled shortage posts. This limited
waiver has now been widened, with
the RAF and Navy beginning recruitment
of Commonwealth applicants
right away and the Army to accept
such applications from early 2019.
Applications from citizens of
countries outside the Commonwealth
will not be accepted.
A National Audit Office (NAO)
report had revealed in April this
year that the UK’s armed forces are
short of around 8,200 soldiers, sailors
and air personnel. Among measures
to meet this shortage, women are
now allowed to apply for all roles in
the British military for the first time
in history.
Britain currently employs 4,500
Commonwealth citizens in the
armed forces, with 3,940 in the Army,
480 in the Royal Navy and 80 serving
in the RAF.
30 times. I could still hear
gunshots after everyone
left," the Times quoted the
man as saying. It was the
latest chapter in America's
epidemic of gun violence.
Only 10 days ago a gunman
killed 11 worshipers
at a synagogue in Pittsburgh.
That shooting was
politically sensitive: the
suspect, Robert Bowers,
who said he wanted to kill
Jews, argued that a Jewish
advocacy group had been
aiding a Central American
migrant caravan denounced
repeatedly by
President Donald Trump
in the run-up to Tuesday's
midterm election.
Last year, a country

music festival called Route
91 in Las Vegas was the
scene of the worst mass
shooting in modern US
history. A gunman shooting
from the 32 floor of a
hotel and casino with high
power weapons killed 58
people.
Carl Edgar, a 24-yearold
regular at the Thousand
Oaks club, said he
was in the bar with about
20 friends and had not been
able to reach some of them
since the shooting. They
may have turned their
phones off, he said.
"A lot of my friends
survived Route 91," he told
the Times. "If they survived
that, they will survive
this."

SGPC objects to kirpan
portrayal as regular
dagger in SRK’s ‘Zero’
Continued from page 01
In the movie, Khan plays the role of a vertically
challenged man. Bedi said the SGPC has demanded
that the scene be deleted from the movie and its posters
showing the kirpan be withdrawn. Delhi Sikh
Gurdwara Management Committee general secretary
Manjinder Singh Sirsa has also lodged a police complaint
against Khan and movie director Aanand L Rai.
Makers: It’s a katar
The makers of 'Zero' have issued a statement that
reads: “The image shows a dagger popularly known as
'katar'... and is nowhere close to a 'kirpan' that carries
the distinguished blessing of being Khalsa."
