The photos on the linked page shows William Morva to be Caucasian; however, his partner in the robbery crime looks Asian.

FNC now saying heavily armed asian man, with bandoliers of ammo, walked around and shot these people.

Hard to believe this was a lone gunman. Possible, just hard to understand. Does this campus have security??

My God...this just keeps getting worse. I’m thinking I’m going to put my .45 in my back pack, Better to be tried by 12 than carried by 8.

I am suprised there is not a live t.v. station in that area... all stations keep showing same footage over and over.

They know the police scanners are being monitored...by FR and the MSM.

Where else is a homicidal maniac, especially in the south, likely to find 30 or 40 thousand victims in one place with the assurance that few if any of them are armed?

“Gun-free zone” whiners have blood on their hands.

Absolutely right. Re-up your support for NRA NOW. There will be new attacks on the 2nd Amendment.

If memory serves me correct, Room 205 is a large auditorium style lecture hall, that was used not only for engineering courses, but also English and Western Civ, which I taught there as a TA.

This is why guns shouldn’t be banned on campus. How the hell are students supposed to defend themselves?

Yup. I am thinking they are not entirely certain that the “shooter” was a lone shooter. They are working the assumption that there is more than one. They have to. If there is another it is smart to assume that that person may be monitoring EMS and Police scanners.

After telling my cubicle-mate about the shootings, he looked it up and USAToday said “21 killings” as well as 21 other casualties.

I was shocked that it could jump from 1 to 21!

Is this all serious, or is there more misinformation being bounced about?
