There must have been more than one shooter.

Without question this was a terrorist attack not matter what their religion.

Local NBC 10 is still reporting 22 dead.

Other news are reporting 32 dead.

yes, that may work for the first few victims. but if you are 10th in line to be shot in the head, you don’t just stand there. rush the guy, throw a chair at him, something.

some fellow on MSNBC now - a Columbine father - calling for all the Columbine information to be released, and to not have this event covered up like Columbine was. Bravo.

Yeah, that happened at the Appalachian School of Law in Grundy, Virginia-—my hometown-—about three hours west of Blacksburg on U.S. Route 460. I dunno what it is about Southwest Virginia, but it seems to have the worst luck in the country.

Per FOX. The “asian” guy in the photo who is pinned and cuffed was actually a reporter from the student newspaper.

Prolly a member of the murderous faith we call islam. They said an “asian” on the news. My guess is a dirka dirka muslim if you know what I mean.

"The correct response to the gun grabbers is "I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6." I keep a .38 in my vehicle and occasionally have kept it in my purse. Who would suspect a 63-year-old lady to be hiding a revolver?"

The pic of the Asian guy being arrested on this thread may be some guy that thought exacly the same thing. If so, he'll be in a world of hurt and lose his rights. That's generally the way it goes. It happens all the time and no one knows, or cares about their predicament. I even know of women that would have carried, had the law not forid it, and later were killed, or maimed, because they had followed the law. Stay Safe!

can think of several: Paducah, KY, that law school in NY, outside that courthouse in TX, and that's in about 30 seconds of thinking.

The shooter in Paducah, KY, was arrested after he surrendered to the principal -- who had picked up the shooter's gun after he put it down.

The shooter in Springfield, Oregon was "taken into custody," by police -- he was not subdued by armed civilians or school personnel.

I can't recall enough to find specifics based on "that law school in NY" or "that courthouse in TX," but I don't seem to recall that armed civilians were involved in stopping them.

Not that I'm against law-abiding civilians carrying weapons -- I'm all for it, in fact. But the cases in question don't support the original claim.

he must have some serious weapons training. reports say he was armed with two 9mm handguns, yet he seems to have managed to inflict so many fatal wounds - you would think once the shooting started people would be running like crazy. Headshots.

He reportedly had several of the victims lined up and executed them, similar to the guy who shot the girls in the Amish schoolhouse in Pennsylvania, killing five girls and wounding five more, of ten hostages total.
