“URGENT — It’s unclear if there are any casualties at this time, the college is currently on lockdown and the alleged gunman is in custody.”

Virginia Tech opened the 2nd floor of Norris today for the first time. I saw the TV trucks coming in.

Michigan allows CHLs. However, their colleges and schools are off limits to concealed carry or firearm carry except by those "officially" authorized.

In other words, the shooting galleries are unprotected except for a few rent-a-cops and threatening "No Guns Allowed" signs.

I’m not sure what a “CHL” is, but we do have Concealed Pistol Licenses here in Michigan.

WXYZ-TV reports there are two fatalities in the Dearborn, Michigan campus shooting. A man killed his girlfriend before taking his own life.

Students for Concealed Carry on Campus is working to change defense-free zones. In fact, I was just preparing to do an interview with a station in Michigan when I got this news.

The only states without concealed carry permits are Illinois and Wisconsin (and DC).

Now, some states may be tougher than others to get, but that argument is dangerous (such as - look at Pittsburgh’s cop shooting).

This can not happen if in fact it is a gun free zone. Guns are not allowed. Why did not the gun leave before the perpetrator was able to use the gun. Surely the gun knew better even if the shooter was without his faculties....

Michigan has “Shall Issue” CCW.

Every city/county in the state has to issue CCW licenses to any non felon that wants one, and has taken the required CCW class.

Michigan has very good gun laws.

There is no license required for open carry, except you can’t open carry in an auto without a CCW permit.

Most recent update. A 28 year old guy killed a 20 year old woman. Weapon was a shotgun. There was an argument beforehand.

Excerpt:
A 20-year-old woman and a 28-year-old man were killed during a murder-suicide at Henry Ford Community College Friday, police have confirmed.

The two were in a theater class together today, but police were unable to substantiate any relationship between the two, Dearborn’s deputy police chief, Gregg Brighton, said.

Dearborn police identified the two as 20-year-old Asia McGowan of Ecorse, Mich., and 28-year-old Anthony Powell of Detroit.

And for everyone on the board getting ready to blame our Dearborn Arabs, well, it looks like the shooter is black.

When I heard the news this afternoon, my first guess is that it was someone from Detroit. Wonder if the shooter has a criminal record. There is an Antoine Powell listed in OTIS who is about the right age. The girl was from Ecorse and that’s a pretty dark suburb.

the alleged gunman is in custody... [victim] 20-year-old Asia McGowan of Ecorse, Mich., and 28-year-old Anthony Powell of Detroit
Nothing spells success like a 28 year old theater major in a community college.

The young lady was an actress/singer. I did find a youtube site of hers, if interested.

I read the headline as if this was a thread that had photo shots of the college.

Update: Apparently this wasn't some ex-boyfriend. It was just some guy who saw her youtube website and became infatuated with her.

He somehow found out where she lived them killed her, them himself
