He must have been planning for a massacre with that many wounded and dead.

“It sounds like a Columbine type of situation. Calling for all neighboring rescue squads”

God Bless those people. I am so tired of these insane, murdering a**holes killing people because of their personal problems.

I can hear the wheels of legislation starting to grind in the halls of power. Bloomberg and the Brady will be warming up their blood dance shortly.

Self-inflicted I presume, a disgrace to mankind and a coward with a capital C.

That's what I'm thinking. Too many casualties for one shooter and opposite ends of the campus.

I just wonder if the truth will come out?

Glad the thugs have left you alone so far.

We're getting 25 mph sustained winds here in RTP with 50 mph gusts.....Is the wind strong up there?

Drudge missed this one big time. No sirens. Still just showing 1 dead, as of this moment.

December 1964, he was honorably discharged from the Marines.

Never served outside Continental US.

“Police are on the scene and are investigating along with the FBI.”

I wonder why the FBI is involved?

Wasn’t it a little early for that? Maybe Korean War?

IIRC, the autopsy showed that Whitman had a brain tumor which probably pushed him over the edge.
