Rumor involves an “Asian” student, 6 feet tall, multiple weapons. That doesn’t mean much. Entrances covered on campus. No one in or out. Neighboring county’s EMS enroute.

That BK is across campus from WAJ, but there’s also a BK in the student center behind Burruss.

I’m in Richmond. You’re probably closer to news than I am.

FoxNews is getting an update from an off campus student.

You seem to have the most updated scoop. You should call FoxNews and update them.

DU believes that campus shootings are okay, as long as you don't shout "ho" when killing fellow students.

I’ve also heard the Asian student with multiple weapons rumor.

Can you believe the people at DU are worried this is going to overshadow news about Gonzales...

I can believe it. Liberals have an inherent ability to ignore real problems in favor of pretend problems.

Prayers up for you and all there, AppyPappy.

IMHO, the news outlets should be smart enough by now to check FR. We always have the latest news and somebody’s usually giving a first hand account.

No. I’m listening to the scanner and getting updates from people on campus. The info is REALLY sketchy. They should drop a reporter on Main St.

Places off-limits while carrying a defensive firearm in Virginia:

School property/school functions unless gun is unloaded, in an enclosed container (but NOT in the glove box or console) and in the vehicle. A car's trunk is considered an enclosed container.

However, a concealed handgun permit holder can have a loaded, concealed handgun in the vehicle while in the school parking lot, traffic circle, etc. The concealed handgun and the permit holder must stay in the vehicle. Firearms are not banned from property open to the public where a school function is being held unless that property is being used exclusively for the school function.

Violation of this statute is a felony.

Google still only shows the one Burger King at the far end of campus from AJ (used to make that trip several times a week).

You are right, but here few, if any, have had any ‘sehensitivity’ training, and we know that one must have that, plus ‘journaliiism’ schooling to tell people what to think.

I wonder which “definition” of “Asian” is meant. Asia includes the Middle East, so is this Asian, as in Chinese or Asian, as in Middle Eastern?

Makes one wonder.
