Only heat needed will be that to keep you warm in the sub-freezing temperatures and snow.

I have to agree; we never had to deal with this in the past and now all of a sudden we’re getting several shootings a year.

I can only imagine that a part of this is bullying, which is getting vicious, but students these days also lack an outlet for their anger and frustration, so it boils over.

My dad spent a couple summers at Purdue working on his Masters. Hate to hear this.

Police have a suspect in custody. University representatives tweeted authorities had cleared the building and were searching the area.

Its all the ADDHD dope the boys are put on from 2nd grade on. Its nothing but speed. Add in tons of hateful leftist indoctrination to their drug addled minds (they are all hard leftists and outright socialists).

We never had this much mental illness before the boutique mental illnesses requiring medication,,,ADDHD and Autism fakery has unleashed these mass murderers on our society.

“My question is what the hell are these schools doing to the students?”

Using a questionnaire to diagnose ADDHD, and then getting masses of boys put on a drug that has a warning right on the label that it can cause suicidal and homicidal thoughts. Then filling their heads with nearly revolutionary hatred for everything decent.

They just took the campus off lockdown except for the electrical engineering building.

I wonder........since The Left has essentially taken complete control of the higher ed in this country, since about 1970 or so, how much of this shooting garbage can be a result of their incompetence?...............

My son was just escorted out of the engineering building after holing up in the basement scared out of his wits. They’re still searching the building. We were communicating with him by text, but reception in the basement was spotty. Daughter was thankfully in her dorm at the time.

Scary! Listening to scanner traffic online. What a confusing mess!

DOH! Maybe I was thinkin of chickens? In any case, it’s lucky there are strict gun laws in nj. Hopefully no one will sneak in any “ghost guns” from Cali. (Gotta study up on my geography again. LOL!)

I likely missed what you were trying to convey. But Purdue is located in West Lafayette, IN. You knew that, right?

Glad they are okay. My daughter graduated from Purdue in 2009.

As Universities go, Purdue is VERY conservative. This is not to say the employees in general are uniquely and individually conservative. But Purdue is heavy in the sciences and engineering. The administration of the university is comparatively conservative.

For the most part, they still practice real science at Purdue.

LOL! I do, but lacked sufficient coffee to see it. LOL! So much for being a rocket surgeon.

Early reports are that the shooter is a Tea Party member using .30 caliber magazine

Later, but largely ignored reports are that the shooter was a far left political radical obsessed with president obama.

I’m not sure if Purdue is a “gun free” zone officially. It wasn’t when I was there.

And they even hired a Republican to be the honcho.
That’s about as rare in higher education as it is in our government...
