I don’t know where anyone said he was wearing a bullet-proof vest. One of the wounded described him as wearing a jacket. Someone else said a vest.

The only people who could tell us whether he was wearing a bullet proof vest would be the police, and they haven’t said.

VTech student Erin Sheehan was in German class when the killer opened the door and “peeked in”: “It seemed so strange,” Sheehan said. “Because he peaked in twice, earlier in the lesson, like he was looking for someone, somebody, before he started shooting. But then we all heard something like drilling in the walls, and someone thought they sounded like bullets. That’s when we blockaded the door to stop anyone from coming in.”

“He was just a normal looking kid, Asian, but he had on a Boy Scout type outfit. He wore a tan button up vest, and this black vest, maybe it was for ammo or something.” “I saw bullets hit people’s body,” Sheehan said.

My poor eyes refuse to go through two thousand-plus comments to find a name, LOL.

Leni,

When it comes to mass murder of innocents, always bet on "Mohammad", and you will probably win more than 50% of the time.

...better odds than Vegas.

But this is a small school, no history of this.

What about the kid that blew himself up on the campus at Norman, Oklahoma last year?

I think the mods are going to have to pull these posts unless there is some confirmation forthcoming.

That likely is not the shooter.

The pic of the cuffed Asian on the ground was ID'd by the scholl paper editor as being one of his reporters...on FNC

As a fellow Title II NFA owner, you and I need to pop a beer and sing praises that the Admin Mods kicked the Anti-American agitator.

Take this for what it's worth. taken from another board. Bold is mine. http://www.ls2.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=512584&perpage=25&pagenumber=2

what I can say, my cousin said, is he majoring in Civil Engineering, now I believe the story on yahoo said that the gunman came in the engineering building, if not, he did... damn, this is going to be hard to tell.. anyways, the doors on campus automatically lock when you shut them, Brad (my cousin) and a group of other 10-12 students were sitting in class watching a video. He said he heard what he thought was gunshots, but said he kinda ignored it because a few teachers were outside there window banging rugs against the wall to get the the dust/dirt off. Anyways, he said he just so happened to turn around and seen a man carrying a gun with a towel looking object wrapped around his face trying to kick the door open. He said he picked up a clock beside his desk and broke the window and jumped out, about that time the gunman was in, firing. He said he turned around to look, only to see his buddy coming out of the window doing a frontflip, with his face pretty much gone. NOW, like another one said, there has been bomb threats earlier in the week, and they are leading to believe the gunman may have been the one to do this. this is all the information as of right now

It's a co-ed dorm and the ambulance guys were told that the bf discovered his gf was sleeeping with another man

He comes to her dorm for class early at 7:15, surprised by catching them en flagrante, shoots them with this registed weapon and then goes back to his house in shock to reload

Fox stated FBI was there but was a state matter. FBI just on scene. The govt uses Fox News to unexplain things imo.
