Horrible! This is reminiscent of the TX tower shooting in the 60’s at UT, Austin, where about a dozen were killed and more wounded. At work, we watched as he picked off people even on the street a block away, The daughter of a coworker worked in a shop on that street, and we watched in horror as she came outside to see what was going on, but luckily was shooed back inside before anything happened. Turned out to be a Vietnam vet who went beserk and went up in the tower with an arsenal. Hope they apprehend this shooter before he gets any more.
What are the gun laws in VA? Any chance of someone carrying—I doubt it on campus.

Ummm... I dont’ recall Charles Whitman being a “Vietnam vet”.
I don’t think Charles Whitman was a Vietnam Vet...
Remember Webb has a concealed carry license? I don’t know if politicians are a special case, but at least we know that one Virginia citizen has concealed carry privileges.
According to his bio, Charles Whitman didn’t serve in Vietnam.
Charles Whitman...the Texas Tower shooter.
UN-fortunately a school is a prohibited zone in VA. The gun has to be unloaded and left in a car.
In the Texas Tower shooting the shooter was eventually stopped from shooting anymore because hunters with their rifles in the trunks of their cars kept him pinned down until the cops got rifles from local gun stores.
My prayers for the students and their families.
Can you imagine if the students had the right to be in a college gun club, and also carry their guns in a brief case or back pack. Someone may have stopped the killing a whole lot earlier.
