Gunman on Campus; Stay inside your building, away from windows; Shooting incident at West Ambler Johnston Hall

Quite plausible.
I still think that scanner catch about the police asking about a Mohammed something or other is very interesting.
Bet that gets buried.
This is certainly perplexing. If this is how it actually happened, law enforcement and university officials have a LOT of explaining to do. If you've had a multi-victim shooting in a dorm, and haven't found the shooter yet, the campus and surroundings should be swarming with law enforcement, and students should be gathered into a few small areas under the protection of armed LEOs. The idea that two HOURS after the dorm shooting, with the shooter still at large, classes were still in session all around the campus on a busines-as-usual basis, just boggles the mind.
I never had to have my prints on any ID I’ve done in this country...work, driver’s license, college, whatever.
Very weird. Like someone else suggested, they can't ID him through the girlfriend?
“The 1st shooting was simply a diversion..as every LEO in the county was on the other side of the campus while a mile away”
More like a half mile. But if was a diversion, why would he wait more than two hours?
Wow, I hadn’t known about that!
btw, the spelling is “Kehoe”
Irrelevant. If they cancelled classes, the kids would gather somewhere. The campus would not have been rendered safe by cancelling classes.
Well, it’s interesting that President Bush is having a news conference this afternoon. Something’s up.
FBI concern about school bus drivers last month may have sent these guys in another direction.
Thanks. I knew the name, but couldn’t remember the spelling.
Can we stop wasting space on idiot “ April in History” posts?
If college students are a bunch of undisciplined idiots, you certainly can treat them like idiots that need to be nannied, OR you can take the non-police state approach and instead EXPECT MORE OF THEM and bust their butts when they act up!!!
The rules of civilization should NOT be dumbed down for the biggest morons. THAT is a hallmark of socialist thought.
re: Drudge... as usual, his radio show put me to sleep.
Other than a post on this thread, I have heard no mention of a "vest"....
“think about all the Jihadi’s around the world who are cheering and praying for the death toll to go higher . . . as well as calculating as much as they can how to increase such when they launch their . . . campus ‘visits.’”
= = =
I have thought of it, and NOW so have they.
= = =
For sure . . . and probably brain storming sessions about rewriting battle plans are being held as we type.
Thanks for the information. I didn’t know...it having been many moons since I had a college ID.
Sure thing.
Glad you’re here.
That's true, and an interesting theory. I've seen vests at shows before, so that IS a possibility.
Virgina Tech had a killer on the loose for three hours and did not warn anyone.
I wonder if those calling for the arming of all students on campus are the same posters who bemoan the radical and violent students on campus. Most college students are leftist, and some advocate violence. It is tempting to think that some hero would rise up and stop this guy, but isn’t it also likely there could be a series of smaller incidents without a ban, instead of one major incident with a ban? Or a case of mistaken pre-emption?
Both sides are sickeningly taking advantage of this situation, but obviously the gun nut faction is far more vocal here on FR.
VT is at fault. Ask WHY no lockdown until second shooting with 2 hours and a killer on the loose.
