Masshole Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 I have a cousin there and she said text, email, and Facebook alerts were sent out to students about shots being fired on campus. It started outside of one of the dining halls and a police officer was shot dead. One suspect has been apprehended but another is at large. More gunshots are being reported near a drillfield near the center of the campus as another person has been pronounced dead. Supposedly it was just a routine traffic stop that started this.
Silentcom Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 I am at VT and currently there is one officer dead and another individual dead as well. The shooter is still at large and we are still in lockdown. Pray for the Hokies.
TheGuardGuy Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 CCW Permit holders in Utah are allowed to defend themselves, even on campus... Food for thought. https://articles.cnn.com/2008-02-20/us/cnnu.guns_1_current-gun-laws-utah-legislature-campus?_s=PM:US 1
spaceman Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 But I though VT was a "Gun Free Zone?" Most schools/colleges are.
Beaver Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Most schools/colleges are. Then explain to me how there was a shooting there. It shouldn't be possible if it's a gun free zone, right?
Ramathorn Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Then explain to me how there was a shooting there. It shouldn't be possible if it's a gun free zone, right? Dangerous and disturbing this puzzle is.
ThreeHoler Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Then explain to me how there was a shooting there. It shouldn't be possible if it's a gun free zone, right? Mind. Blown.
spaceman Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 I see where you're going with this now Beaver... And I agree.
Guest Hueypilot812 Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Then explain to me how there was a shooting there. It shouldn't be possible if it's a gun free zone, right? That only applies to law-abiding gun users...duh
Joey Freshwater Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) It appears the shooter died of a self inflicted gun wound...boo ######ing hoo. I wish these sick ######s would just cut the middle man and kill themselves first. Burn in hell bitch. Edited December 10, 2011 by Gyreaux
JeepGuyC17 Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Most high profile shootings occur in "gun free zones", from Columbine to Fort Hood, to VTx2. At least they let the anti-gun crowd "feel safer" at these places... 1
BitteEinBit Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) Dangerous and disturbing this puzzle is. Ah, you speak Yoda...nice Most high profile shootings occur in "gun free zones", from Columbine to Fort Hood, to VTx2. At least they let the anti-gun crowd "feel safer" at these places... It is all about "feeling" safer these days... There will always be those jackpipes who feel like they have to kill someone because their own life isn't going well...they are like little kids with a temper tantrum, and they only way to get their way is to shoot someone else. Like Gyreaux said above, just shoot yourself and leave the middlemen out of it. Your life sucks because you let it suck. Edited December 11, 2011 by BitteEinBit
Insubordinate & Churlish Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Most high profile shootings occur in "gun free zones", from Columbine to Fort Hood, to VTx2. At least they let the anti-gun crowd "feel safer" at these places... I go to school in Illinois aka the only state without concealed carry. I hear students mention not feeling safe if there were people with concealed guns around. It's amazingly simple to shut them up: "Did you feel unsafe when you vacationed in Florida? How about when visiting friends in Michigan, Iowa, Indiana, [insert every other state in the Union here] because there were people carrying there." Might not be flawless logic, but it's worked so far.
Fudge Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Anytime someone is killed for no reason it sucks. But would this story have made the news if it happened in Detroit, MI?

What they're really saying is that they "feel safer" knowing that the only people around them likely to be carrying a gun are the insane nut-jobs that intend to kill someone.
