2 DEAD, 4 INJURED IN SHOOTING AT UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA-CHARLOTTE

Two people have been killed and a man is in custody after a shooting at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte on Tuesday.

UNCC Chief of Police Jeff Baker said during a media briefing that two people were killed and four were injured in a shooting on the campus, which began at about 5:40 p.m. Three of the injured are currently in critical condition, Baker said.

Baker said police were preparing for a Waka Flocka Flame concert set to take place on campus when they were alerted to the shooting. Officers ran to the scene and, within a few minutes, were able to apprehend the shooter, who Baker said was armed with a pistol. Tuesday was UNCC’s last day of classes for the semester.

“Our officers definitely saved lives. There’s no doubt about that,” Baker said.

... students were delivering final presentations for a liberal studies class in the school’s Kennedy building when the shooter began his attack inside their classroom.

... All of a sudden, without warning, no yelling, no nothing, the shots are going off.” He said there was a “deep boom, and a bang, bang, bang, bang.”...

Field said it was “chaos” as students bottlenecked at the door. People were screaming, furniture was turned over and students tripped over each other.

Field says that he never turned to look at the shooter. He doesn’t know who was killed.

“I just ran. That’s all I knew,” he said. “If I looked, it would be too long and I would get shot as well.” [clip]

Police have since declared the scene is secure and that they believe the suspect acted alone.

How many students have voiced that desire. The difference is we had some self control.

It would not surprise me if there are operatives who find unstable persons and goad them into committing shootings. Just to push for more gun control.

If that was the case, with the number of incidents occurring, it would come out in investigation(s) fairly quickly. Some police (etc.) might cover something like that up, but, most would not. These shooters are a potential lethal danger to police going in to stop them, too.

Officers ran to the scene and, within a few minutes,...

As usual, when seconds count, the police are minutes away. You don't think a CCW student or teacher could have reduced the death and injured toll in this situation?

I have to go along with Chickensoup on this. The nose and mouth on that guy are definitely not from a white man. And yesterday, he was several shades darker than the pasty color being posted today. He may be mixed race, but he is not strictly white.

Yeah, but not until you would have gotten some great video for Instagram.

There has to be a common thread.

The common thread is 'Democratic Values.' That is:

1. No God but the State and Islam.
2. Socialism.
3. If it feels good, do it.
4. The U.S. Constitution embodies outmoded, white shibboleths and must be destroyed.
5. I am the most important person I know, and I can set my own boundaries for social interaction.
6. (Feel free to add those I missed..)

I’ve never seen anything like what’s happening now. There has to be a common thread.

Violent videos of all forms(movies, TV, computer...)

What I see is mostly fake violence, lots of blood&gore, not the pure terror that comes with it.
Some are sucked into this fake Seventh Circle of Hell, and it becomes their reality.

Two and a half years RVN, and holes in my hide to prove it.
Fifty years ago and if only I could forget it.
