UVA Emergency Alert: ACTIVE ATTACKER with a gun reported in area of Shannon Library 160 McCormick Road. RUN HIDE FIGHT
It is sad that people have to be told Run, Fight, Hide.
Day before election, what a coincidence................
Probably Big Mike Sherrill’s little buddy, Jay “Basketball” Jones. out hunting for his political opponents and their kids so he can take them out before tomorrow’s big day.

You can run and hide there, but can’t fight.
Our local public and private school teachers have guns. And you should see our church…
Amen to that. Our church has a little “no guns allowed” sticker conveniently placed at the bottom right of the entry doors. If you’re not looking you won’t see it. I’d say half are armed at our church.
There are weapons of opportunity.
Things like baseball bats, tire irons, gold clubs, pencils, ballpoint pens, belts with heavy buckles and so on.
In desperate times you get creative.
Your congregation should be led by someone like the preacher in Five Card Stud, played by Robert Mitchum. He always carried his Bible.
An attacker who was not an attacker...why did they go with that on the news if no one had been attacked?
No end to questions prompted by news reports...
Because he had a gun. Maybe....
The last job I had, we all kept guns in our offices.
Great words to live by.
Are there inactive attackers?
“”Because he had a gun.””
Certainly that couldn’t have been the qualifying factor. Wouldn’t you think they’d at least tell us what the person did to end up with such a label and write such a story?
Like I keep saying - too many questions!
The link says false report ov sn attavker. I don’t know if an attacker existed, much less if he was armed with a gun.
“As of a 4:46 p.m. update, officials said there is no evidence of an attack or threat on UVA grounds or nearby. Police say they are now investigating the false report.”
