[ChrisNoF4i]

Maybe it was Marcus Vick.

[Karaya One]

You guys are TOUGH!

[KillBill]

That is horrible. Why do people keep killing eachother????!!!

[dhuze]

This morning they said 8 people shot 1 killed and the shooter was in custody. How the fuck do they get that from 22 killed, 21 injured ,shooter killed?

[bigred875]

22 killed 28 inj. is what msnbc said

[l3uddha]

WHAT!!! that's one of the most fucked up things...

[l3uddha]

live coverage: MSNBC Video

[virtualbong]

I have been watching the news all day (I'm working from home) and they say 30 are dead now...

Crazy stuff man.

/\/\/\

l3uddha - love your signature, hahaha

[TheIglu]

Sometimes people just go nuts.

It will ALWAYS happen, one way or the other.

With so many billion people in the world, there is bound to be some with a few wires crossed. Just gotta do what you can do minimize it.

[l3uddha]

whoa I just listened to the story from one kid who was shot in the arm. unbelievable...

[KillBill]

Yeah, it seems SO random. DId it say that the kids were in class at 7am? I don't ever remember having classes that early.

SO sad.

[Karaya One]

Isn't it an big engineering school? Probably why the early start. Lots of stuff to learn.

[636]

so sad.....now it will be the guns fault and there will be consequentses (sp?)

[rebelpacket]

I'm not sure what to say on this. Its terribly depressing that we can't even go learn without fear of getting executed by our own people.

But its equally depressing that with the news and media coverage today, whomever did this will be just as "famous" as the Klebold in Columbine. And I'm going to bet thats exactly what they we're hoping for.

Honor is rapidly becoming a word only faintly whispered on movie screens and the anulls of history.

31 dead now

i wouldn't say that it's gotten to that point, yet.

[Degsy]

Deliberately haven't been reading the news on this, but I'm guessing the gunman shot himself?

At first it was two 9mm's. I wonder where all this information comes from.
I have read the stories since this morning and every time I read a new one it is different.

[MissTwisties]

Damn....why did he have to shoot himself? That's too bad. Coward can't even bare the thought of doing prison for the rest of his life.

This is so so sad for the victims and their families...

I think if someone is so unstable that they would kill over 30 people it is almost always the case that they are suicidal.

He would have been killed in prison anyways. You know someone would get to him.

That's the point. In prison he could have suffered a painful, maybe long death. Instead of a quick, painless one. But even a painful death wouldn't be enough punishment for what he did...think about all those families who won't be able to hug their child or sibling one more time. SOrry if I seem cold hearted but I don't feel any pity for people like that.

[l3uddha]

I just watched on the news that in one of the classrooms he lined the students up against the wall & shot them execution style.

I'm sorry I just keep throwing this stuff in here, but this whole thing is beyond fucked up....

[Adrenalinechic]

the first shooting, in the dorm, was at 7 am. the others were around 9-9:30 in a different building, in which he lined the students up.

God Bless the families, praying for them. Rest peacefully.
