I am also listening. The dispatcher is calling in reports of shots fired from buildings all over campus. Some are over a mile from other locations. Police are clearing lots of dorm halls, etc. Still no contact and suspect(s) still at large.

Praying.

Agree, but an understatement. Seems like there is no end to this sort of nonsense in this country.

Suspect shot himself when approached by police off campus. This was from SAE frat after the shootings.

People, just stop.

This "woke" BS is getting old.

Ewing Twp School District in NJ is closed today apparently because the shooter was found with a note referring to two schools in the district where he formerly resided. That’s scary stuff.

 

[PrtLng Lion]

Jeebus. Terrible. What the heck is it actually going to take to deter whackos from doing this.

This hits way to close to home. Son is undergrad and Masters alum of MSU.

Being a gun owner and worked for the Department of Corrections gun laws need to be passed.

MSU shooter ID'd; athletic events still on hold

Police identified the man who killed three students at Michigan State University, but they have "no idea what the motive was."

What did Mel Tucker know about this, and when did he know it?

getting rid of gun-free zones, like the MSU campus for starters

Gun ownership comes with a free trip in a Chinese weather balloon?

I’m a responsible gun owner.

 

[Nitt1300]

I’m a responsible gun owner.

Me too, but we are increasingly surrounded by irresponsible people who drive, own guns, and feel entitled to do whatever the hell they want to.

Actually, with all the people who own guns, the number of irresponsible ones is very small.

I'd like to believe that, but I don't.

 

[Ludd]

I'd like to believe that, but I don't.

If it wasn’t true, there would be far more shootings than there are.

irresponsibity does not require becoming a mass murderer

Then we can count on you for consistently accurate weather updates.

You would think the real effort here is trying to intervene with a mentally unstable individual before it becomes too late. 'Mentally ill' people are prohibited from purchasing/owning firearms in nearly every state. The problem is to be flagged as 'mentally ill', it often requires a court order and/or involuntary commitment. I don't know what the middle ground is, but in Cruz's case, people noted peculiar behavior leading up to his purchase of the rifle he used to kill 17 kids at his school. How do you intervene there? Sadly, as long as guns are available *anywhere* they will continue to be an issue. It's all or nothing and it won't be the former.

I didn’t say mass shootings…I said any kind of shootings. Most of the shootings are done by people who don’t have the gun legally.

Sans the guns part, didn’t you just describe yourself?

Since honesty is a hallmark of any productive dialog, let’s be honest about a huge contributing factor to this tragedy. This murderer was previously charged with a felony gun charge in 2019 and a conviction would have prevented him from legally owning a firearm in the future. The progressive prosecutor dismissed the slam-dunk felony charge and kept the lessor misdemeanor charge. The gist of her reasoning was based in prison reform ideology and the felony conviction could have meant up to 5 years. So not only did she keep him out of prison, he was subsequently legally allowed to buy the murder weapon.

The law to prevent this is already in place. Inexplicably, and probably unwittingly, people voted for someone who opted not to enforce it.

This is valid, but if he wanted a gun bad enough he could get one - conviction or no.

I do agree, but the discussion has drifted to gun laws.

A senseless act by a deranged lunatic left three people dead and five wounded.

My heart goes out to the victims and their families. May they RIP.
