specifics are few, but what is known is that a shooter walked into a geology classroom at around 3pm today and started firing.

there are a possible of two dead, including the gunman, and at least 15 people were injured.

if you know anybody that goes to school down there, call them or text them now. find out if they're ok, cuz you don't want that news later.

what the fuck is going on recently? V-Tech, now this shit? and where the fuck does the gunman get off killing himself in the end? save the damn bullets and just put one into your temple in your bedroom, and problem solved. you're without the world, and the world is without you.

no doubt some douche (read Jack Thompson) will find some way to blame video games for this tragedy again, just like he did with the V-Tech shootings.

i called all my friends that i knew that were down there, and i'm just glad that they're all alright. my thoughts are with all the victims.

My thoughts exactly. This is bad bad enough as it is, we don't need some jackass who uses it to boost his career.

Just another copycat instance, plus he failed to break the high score.

the closer we get to each other, the greater our population, the better are chances of doing something stupid that hurts or kills the people around us.

There was a police lockdown at UBC the other week too, up here in Vancouver, Police still haven't told the students why, supposedly some fuck with a gun. My friend got outta class just before it happened.
Fuckin' world.

I go to NIU, but was fortunately not on the campus today. I CAN say this though: It was NO VTech. Yes, 6 people (including the gunman) died, but they had people mobilized IMMEDIATELY. They had cops, ambulances, firetrucks, and 3 flippin' helicopters out shortly after it happened (saw all this as I was walking home from another school that I am Dual-enrolled at--I live pretty close to the NIU campus).

But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Jack jumped on this crap, though -_-*
