I hope this is not another mass shooting, and the suspect was able to be stopped before anyone was seriously injured or worse. Will be updating as information becomes available.
Wondering why this keeps happening, and why people are all the sudden starting to snap? This is starting to become a regular occurrence which is not good. My question is why schools?
Being reported that they were shot in the legs? Why would someone aim specifically for someones legs?edit on 1/22/2013 by SpaDe_ because: (no reason given)

Why the schools? Because getting to peoples children is what will make them sacrifice their freedoms, IF you can make them believe that sacrificing those freedoms will save their children.
Which of course it wont, but as long as you can make them believe it will, they will sacrifice anything.

To add to this: Why hasn't any schools began to take precautions for events of this kind? I agree being in Texas they were subject to the normalcy bias, but after an event like Sandy Hook (if you consider it to be a true event) I begin to ask why no armed officers were present on campus during this event.

You cannot possibly prove your assertion that nobody else had guns, nor could you possibly prove that THAT and THAT alone is why there was no return fire....nice try though.

When I was in high school there were armed police men in every hall way; now would my school be considered ridiculous or ahead of the game? I'll tell you one thing; no body ever tried to shoot it up.
Just because we have extra precautions in place doesn't make it evil; I would consider those who don't pay a little extra for it evil.

It was a gun free zone from what I can tell.... They got my brother killed . No one legally carries in gun free zones because - wait for it again - we are actually law abiding citizens! Hence the CPL...
Fast forward a few years and you have a couple people trying to kill me (with a gun) in an area that was not a gun free zone....hm....I'm still breathing. Wonder why that is? Wait for it..... this part is critical
They were not the only ones armed.

No body is able to predict such events unless you practice to foresee the future.
How do you know that there was someone with a weapon? To ask that question in my opinion can be considered naive.
