If this guy was here on a student visa, State would have taken prints from two of his fingers during the app process.

So, someone can come in the USA from China, get guns and kill 33 students.... My head is spinning.. There are illegals killing people with automobiles or molesting and murdering young children.

“Serial Numbers obliterated on Guns” they can still get the #’s. It will just take longer.

Yes, they can. The metal has been altered by the imprint of the serial number, and that can't be erased.

But it sure makes you think this episode was planned well in advance. Not that erasing visible signs of serial numbers makes much sense if you're not planning to come out alive.

Shanghai is a very international SE Asian city. Could he be from Indonesia or have contacts from there and Muslim?? He is a Mooselip terrorist until proven otherwise. Nobody would suspect him being from a city like Shanghai.

Pray for W and Our Troops

I don’t think campus would chain doors shut. Here on my campus you can get impaled for obstructing exits. Even in lockdown that is not something we profs can do.

Think of the liability issues in fire/shooter where kids ran but couldn’t escape becuse someone chained doors.

No way our lawyers would allow it...

Maybe. They are waiting for the ballistics report and some other information. I expect hope tomorrow morning's press conference will be coherent and full of information.

Just in case anyone says this was the worst school massacre in the US, I found a worse one. In 1927. http://www.lsj.com/news/local/020519bath_3b.html 45 killed. Bath remembers 1927 school tragedy On that day, disgruntled taxpayer Andrew Kehoe bombed the school, killing 38 children, seven adults and himself.

The incident was considered the worst act of domestic terrorism before the bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building killed 168 people in 1995.

—— I keep hearing people discuss it as the worst SHOOTING in US history. Don’t know why, maybe cause libs are so predictable, but very soon they’ll be out demanding tougher gun control, and the killings will only get worse.

We need laws against buying guns that have their S/N “obliterated”.

If the rumor that the shooter was Korean is true, then he almost certainly would have had military experience, since South Korea requires mandatory military service.

Breathtaking lack of information.

There were several interviews on the radio today from people in the building where the shooting took place.

Per a "janitor" the alleged perp shot at him 5 times with a handgun as he looked over a person who had been shot. He said the shooter was "foreign," had a "black gun" and was very calm. The shooter missed the janitor from a distance of a few doors down the hall and the janitor ran out of the building safely.

(source: NPR, which called the town "Blackberg")

IF TRUE....Both the State Department consular official overseas (who granted this person’s travel to US authorization at a US Embassy or Consulate) and then the ICE official who actually stamped his entry in his passport at his port of entry—and let him into the USA, should both be made public. That is, if this person is a non-citizen who was on a visa in the United States. Failure to perform full background checks and perform the usual due diligence, may have lead to the deaths of all those students.

Sometimes CNN does a better job than Fox on certain types of stories, so I switched over to check.

When I heard the words "more gun control" I couldn't get my hand on the remote fast enough.

I think the girlfriend story is crap.

Bomb threats, loaded with ammo, chains on the doors, indiscriminate shooting with intent to kill large numbers of innocents.

Premeditation...this story hasn’t begun to unfold yet. There’s much information that still needs to be sorted.

the guy who killed 8 people at the empire state building some years back - was a palestinian who bought a legal gun in florida without even a residency check.

An eyewitness said to media that “he was good looking”. So, there are eyewitnesses before he disfigured himself.
