Not again! We had those strings of shooting sprees earlier this year.

Amen.

But I’m gonna go out on a limb here and guess that at least one of the killers has a form of “Mohammed” in his name.

Nah, it’s probably some Amish or Mennonite crazies... But seriously; no info yet, so I’m not going to jump to any conclusions.

PTSD?

Hope it’s not a soldier.

Three shooters. Planned. This is not a spur of the moment action. I wonder if Mohammed is involved?

Took the words right out of my mouth. I hear now on Fox that there are/were THREE shooters. Your comment begins to ring more and more true.

"one dead one in custody"

Or one dead, one in custody?

Is this the course that gets kids their GEDs and ready to enlist? Soldier Readiness? Oh, God, I hope not. This is so very, very sad — graduation?

Three guesses as to who is responsible.

Give the live one to me. In ten minutes, I’ll have all the info we need from him, plus have him admit he’s Julie Andrews having an affair with Perez Hilton. After that, he can help me fill in a 6 foot deep hole in my back yard.

"That source told KCEN the shooter has a high-powered rifle."

Probably purchased at some gun show, I suppose.

And of course I flashed on the recent murder of a US soldier in Ciudad Juarez.....

Something fishy is happening and it ain’t at all clear what

Prayers indeed for the families and fallen

At least one person is "neutralized" in connection with the incident, and a second is "cornered," retired Army Lt. Gen. Russell Honore told CNN.

I think the "cornered" one will soon go to "neutralized" status.

If this is a terrorist attack, it may just be the beginning.
