You could be right, CNN’s student said Swat teams arriving at 10 min to Twelve.

[Perseverando]

Those 17 students being reported by WSLS are just at Montgomery Regional Hospital. Doesn’t include Roanoke hosital.

The tax theory doesn’t explain the many nasty incidents before 1913 or unrelated to US. ;-)

I’m wondering if it’s more God-related. Passover and Resurrection, etc, generally being around then. Devil coming out to fight it?

” I don't’ recall Charles Whitman being a “Vietnam vet”.”
“ There was a rumor of a tumor”

[nicko]

I don’t think Charles Whitman was a Vietnam Vet...

FOXNEWS is covering it non-stop here at 11:55AM.

However, this is another example of the merits of FreeRepublic.

Thank you Appy Pappy for your contribution on this event.

FOXNEWS reports 17 people being treated for wounds, etc..

Are guns illegal on campus?
If so, that should have prevented this from happening! </sarcasm>

[TomGuy]

Wasn't there a bomb threat at this school last week?

Apparently, 2 recent bomb threats called in to Engineering building last week, and 2nd (time wise) shooting(s) took place in that same Engineering building. [1st shooting was early this morning in a dorm.]

I am listening to the scanner,they still have patient’s en route to the hospital.I heard one say St Joesph’s.

[Eva]

Remember Webb has a concealed carry license? I don’t know if politicians are a special case, but at least we know that one Virginia citizen has concealed carry privileges.

[Crawdad]

Got a scanner link?

[dragnet2]

Fox said 17 shooting victims.

[gracesdad]

There’s also a traffic accident being transported. Hard to tell the diff between the two.

[spunkets]

"The Waco situation developed unexpectedly, so its date is a coincidence. However, several incidents since then have been “scheduled” for that date."

No. Waco was a planned attack and the date chosen after over a month of nothing.

[Muzzle_em]

It is ok to shout “ho” if you are shooting white students.

[babble-on]

Whitman was an ex-Marine

[dragnet2]

Thank you.

[AppyPappy]

St Joseph’s???

[null and void]

Liberals love to give human traits to inanimate objects.

And remove free will from humans.

[fatima]

What is a green patient?Can’t believe they are still taking people to the hospital.
