I think there's something a lot more to this. Even with a second shooter on the loose, the amount of people being brought in to end this tragedy is huge. More are on the way from the scanner. Armored vehicle on campus now but needing a guide according to the scanner.

Hopefully, AppyPappy will get out of this with no problems.

LEO command center (tractor trailer) being set up now.

CNN has a video of a cell phone capture of one of the scenes (at least from outside the building.) You can hear the shots.

I believe FOX said 17 were taken to one particular hospital, but other hospitals may be involved as well, just from reading reports here on FR.

FOX just said “Heavily armed person shot elderly professor”

I’m guessing that’s the first shooting/first gunman.

Keep your head low, until you are absolutely sure.

But wasn't the first shooting in the dorm? What would a professor be doing in a dorm?

And that’s not a small handgun, neither.
