If you wanna get famous for killing innocent people, write it in a notebook and shoot yourself in the head.

Or, seek help.

Life is precious. I would have rather have seen the guy get the help he needed.

I am glad he didn't kill anyone else though. We don't need anymore tragedies. One more thing. WHY isn't the President addressing the public about this? I would bet the farm, if this man would have did what he planed to do, he would be all over this touting a "need" to ban weapons again. He should use this to respond to the growing mental health crisis that many students go through, as they try to get through life. He should use this to talk about the mental health aspect of mass shootings, NOT banning weapons. MHO.

According to the article this guy didn't have mental health issues in the past. A homicidal/suicidal lunatic don't want any help.

I wouldnt call them idiots man.

I know several people who have taken their own life. They were not idiots.

I think there is a mental thing going on. Obviosly, but something has to trigger this kind of thinking.

remember, you are not center of the universe( not necessarily you). It seems that when some peoples expectations are not met they handle things differently than most.

I used to wonder why people would kill themselves after killing others. I used to say they should just kill themselves and get it over with and leave others out of it. Now I feel horrible because any lost life is tragic. There are mixed emotions on this, should we be happy only one person is dead? Or should we mourn the death of someone that could have maybe been helped.

What would you call a man who planned to pull a fire alarm so that people would gather up in one place and open fire on them for no reason whatsoever? That's if what the media is reporting is true of course.

From what I've been hearing, the guy had apparently studied the tactics of other mass shootings. As the media has reported, he was not enrolled in classes and was in the process of getting kicked out of the dorms.

I've heard from people that he would spend many nights by himself at a bar called Mad Hatters which is directly across the street from the main campus.

There were a fleet of news vans two days ago, but none were present today from when I was on campus.

Police opened his remaining mail from the mail center and found that there were 1-3 various items from the semi-automatic .22 rifle.

The media keeps commenting on the hundreds of rounds of ammunition that he had, but he apparently only had 1-2 magazines.

Also, in the past few months, the campus has had multiple "mysterious package" closures. However, these packages only closed the specific building the package was found. There is a rumor that the mentally disturbed individual was planting these packages to test the response time of the student populace and the campus police.

This is all I know.
