Of course you don't want a panic, agreed. But come on, it's been almost 12 hours, and we have no info?

The other thread is full of Freepers asking questions. Frankly, I don't want to read through 1000 posts of everybody wondering what happened.

No statements from the cops? No witnesses? No name of the fatality? Nothing?

Well seems to me it is far better to say nothing, if one knows nothing, and thus far saying "suicide bombing" says plenty. Today is after all Sunday and the biggest day for football, that is the "panic" I speak to.

Among all the questions, there are some first- and second-hand reports in that thread. Check out PhiKapMom's posts for a lot more info than the MSM is providing.

- Right. How do you keep 84,000 people to keep their mouths shut for over 12 hours? My opinion is that the initial story was deliberately wrong, hysterically wrong or misreported wrong.

We have FBI, Homeland Security, ATF, and drug sniffing dogs on campus and they were there immediately last night from what I heard. There are some stories but very few and with little detail.

Most of what I learned was from people on the scene when I was leaving the game and from what my son learned who is a GA and had to go to his office.

It was NO pipe bomb, they found more bombs, they impounded three buses, etc. Those are just some of the reports I have picked up. One report from a Tulsa couple said a cop told them the buses around that part of campus might have been a target. It happened about 100 yards from the stadium in an area where if you leave the stadium to go east, you will walk right by.

Last night first reports said no injuries other then the person who blew themself up and about four hours later they said five injuries.

We do not have the whole story to put it mildly.

Could it be that the police have nothing more to report at this time?
