~ Armed Gun Man hold up at University of Texas, Austin. Shots Fired!

[Capt Quahog]

Just watched on TV the unloading of an armored car at the University of Texas in Austin. Report of one dead. Campus in lock down.

Another gun free zone catering to criminals' bad intentions. How many shootings is it going to take America before you realize criminals don't give a shit about a sign on the door. The only ones who listen to it are the ones that could have prevented or lessened the deaths.

BTW, I'm watching this now on Fox News, seems to have been two gunmen, on committed suicide inside the library, other is barricaded in a building near by.

Just saw one news report that said the gunman was armed with an 'automatic' weapon...

How do they know it wan an automatic and not a stick shift?

[Andrew17019]

Another guy who obviously didn't see the Gunbuster signs.




Fully automatic AK-47? Is it similar to the M-15 automatic assault weapon that the Hutaree militia guy had? These guys are pretty dedicated, since it takes a while for them to legally obtain their full-auto guns...

[Connal]

I hate hearing about these things. Every time a shooting comes up, I get that familiar taste of bile in the back of my mouth.

[H.E. Pennypacker]

The goddamn people. You wanna kill yourself, down a bottle of pills and drink a handle of whiskey in your home. Or shoot yourself. Why does it have to be a public spectacle?

Update: he shot himself. No one else was injured.

news reports say he was armed with an AK-47. .... .... which means it could have been just about ANY gun, including a fracking Kentucky rifle.

Seems an odd weapon with which to commit suicide. Surely a musket would be more practical.

Hmm, that's kind of vague, like everything else I've seen....but they have the swat team labeled as "soldiers"...?

[Kyle H]

Swat act like soldiers. Like soldiers in an occupied territory. Complete with disdain for "the locals" and a habit of mistaking "the locals" for "the enemy."

This is going to go over well...
