Clearly that changes everything. Since it's illegal to have a gun on the campus, no one can have a gun on campus. Which means the attacker could not have been armed and the victim could not have been shot by a gun that could not be on campus.

Whew! That was close.

I'm sure there's probably a law against murder, too.

 

[eldirector]

I am sure one more law (or policy/rule) would have prevented this.

In all seriousness, my heart goes out to the victim and their family.

Just heard a report that the shooter may have been another professor.

...and the shooter is toast of a self-inflicted gunshot wound...

One dead, manhunt for killer underway at Delta State University

Sad for the loss of life, but somewhat comforted that this was a good ole fashioned kind of murder/suicide. Not the modern, kill her, kill him, and kill everybody else you can before killing yourself.

In the good ol' days, these weak weasels killed themselves first, thus eliminating the problem for the rest of us. Too many of them feel the need to harm others before they kills themselves now, which is a huge problem. People who think they have nothing to lose because they will be dead soon are difficult to stop.

Amen, rhino. Especially in a gun free zone.
