Machette? Sounds likes Muslim attack
My son heard that the shooter pulled fire alarm and then ran to his car and started running people down, then started shooting. Not sure if this is accurate, though. My son walks right by that building for a 10:30 class two buildings away from there, so I am thankful that he wasn’t walking at that time.
Yeah...How well did your “gun ban” work with this MF’er, liberals????
The blood is on your hands alone....
Local news reporting a car hit people.
Prayers up!

The way the cops and/or spectators are casually standing around suggests that the perps are dead or in custody. Is that the case?
CBS News: Eight people have been taken to the hospital. One person in critical condition.
One suspect has been shot by police and is dead.
There could still be an active shooter.
today just goes to show you that you can go on living your daily life with not a care in the world except getting good grades on your exams... and then BAM some lunatic takes you out.
You have a lot to be thankful for right about now.
Sounds as though some thought went into this- not a spur of the moment thing.
Prayers
They do have a lot of Somalis there, and had jihadi attack in last year or two at a restaurant.
Without the “gun ban” maybe a “concerned citizen” who was carrying could’ve killed the driver....
Again...How’s your “gun ban” working, liberals???
That’s what I first thought, too. Two of them sounds like a terror attack.
I think the whole idea of “active shooter” training is ridiculous. They choose college campuses due to the dearth of guns, not the prevalence.

People need to keep in mind that in these situations the police who respond don’t know a good guy from a bad guy. If you display a weapon for self-defense, the police are likely to think you are a bad guy. They may shoot first and ask questions later and I can’t say I would blame them in an active shooter situation. I sure wouldn’t blame the cops in Dallas, for example.
So yes, by all means, defend yourself with your personal weapon. But be prepared, when the police do show up, to be disarmed and perhaps not politely. It’s better than the alternative.
