This tragedy is beyond words. This is a sad day for this country that will go down in history.
Dont wanna get into a gun debate, but as stated above since the schools are now 100%gun free zones, im sure even the security guards were unable to help in any way whatsoever,which means MANY victims with no way to defend themselves. If even one teacher was carrying, this would have ended with less lives lost, but I guess we trust noone with guns, and this sicko made the most of it.

If he wanted to kill people so badly, I'm sure the Army would have been more than happy to put this maniac to work.....

The only reason I can see for someone like that to take out so many innocent lives is to become a marter.... nothing else makes sense.

truely a sad, sad day....

Question

it's too soon to tell what's motivated this guy, but nobody's ruling out sudden jihad syndrome.

i'd put my money on a stressed out college kid who just snapped. a girlfriend or ex-girlfriend was mentioned.

the word

back scatter comes to mind....

what a sickening event....

So many families with tradgedy...as if the conflict
in Iraq isn't enough ....

how the assailants turn harming oneself into
harming everyone they can to deliver their hatred
or dissatisfaction will be the riddle to solve.

Rest in peace. Best wishes to their families.

It would have been great if someone else had a gun, but unfortunately it didn't work out that way. How could it with the miniscule level of legal concealed carry? Maybe the police made a mistake, maybe not. I'm sure they don't get a lot of practice with that type of thing down there. They'll be loosing a lot of sleep trying to think of what they could have done differently.

At least the shooter is dead. No silly trial & life sentence.

The news is already having a field day with this - "How could this have been prevented?" Unreal. They're just cashing in.
