I’m not commenting about the rumor of who the man was until who the man was is confirmed.

It’s possible, but I’m guessing he had a sawed off and blew his head off to hide his identity. Sounds like he was on a mission??

Lover’s spat and 3 bomb threats on campus to test security?

Just to kill his girlfriend?

I’m not buying.

I haven’t been able to keep up as I’m at work, but... are we sure the gunman chained the doors shut? Or were the doors chained shut because the campus was on lockdown from the earlier shooting? (Does lockdown mean the campus would chain the doors to the building shut?)

No one at CNN ever thinks. They just ‘feel.’

I am proud that my daughter graduated from the safest school in the country, Kennesaw State University.

"Kennesaw,GA once again was in the news on May 1, 1982, when the city unanimously passed a law requiring "every head of household to maintain a firearm together with ammunition." After passage of the law, the burglary rate in Kennesaw declined and even today, the City has the lowest crime rate in Cobb County."

"During the 1980s the economy grew as nearby construction of shopping malls and businesses put the City of Kennesaw into the Metropolitan Atlanta area. In 2000, the City’s population was 21,675."

I heard a student on Fox News state that the gunman chained the doors.

They just showed interview with female student who was in German class in the Norris bulding. Said he came in - described him as young, Asian, cap, ammo vest.....said he just stood at the door shooting at waist high level - people fell - she played dead....the shooter left - came back in - did the same shooting again - left - those remaining pressed against the door to keep him out because there was no way to lock the door - he pushed against the door - and finally shot through the door.

She said all in the room but the people with her were down - either wounded or dead - including the professor/teacher....think she said 2 or 4 were uninjured in that room including here = 20 some were down.

“MSNBC now reporting that the murderer was a Chinese national in the U.S. for less than a year on a student visa.”

Damn...

Just think of the outrage if he’d called them “Nappy Ho’s” instead of just shooting them!/s
