Do I suck because I thought there would be something about the cowboy movie in here?
Do I sucked because I was kind of pumped for it?

Uh, yeah. 'Rilla was the first thing that came to mind when I saw that too.
...except I was actually afraid that he went on that professor killing spree that he was joking about earlier.
Glad to hear that he's ok though.

I tried to post this reply before but got an error.
I know one of the people shot. She just got out of surgeory and is doing ok.
I was 20 yards away in Randolph watching the whole thing.
If the shooter was smart, he would have picked my building which leads to several others but instead chose Norris which has 3 exits.
Swat, FBI, ATF, K-9, Sherrifs, all descended on that building almost immediately after people claimed to have heard shots.
Campus should have been closed this morning at 7 am. They could have easily canceled the 9 am classes which cost 30 people their lives.
My campus is falling apart at the seams. Morva shot cops at the beginning of the year, 2 bomb threats last week and now this. It's 100% unreal.

Never have I ever wanted a gun more than when people were being shot 20 yards away.
Never have I ever been in a room with 30 other people, professors and students alike, trying not to cry when the news verified that it was 20 dead. 20 that died a minutes walk away. probably 50 paces from comming to my classroom and shooting me and my friends.
What do you do?
I was in the basement of Randolph (a fucking maze and the safest place) talking to a professor who said a Janitor turned a corner in Norris and saw a body covered in blood. He went to kneel down and touch him when the shooter appeared out of no where and opened fire. The janitor bolted around the corner and across the parking lot (tiny for like 20 cars) to Randolph.
So many people, so close to death.
My friend has a class at 10:10 in Norris 209, 208/06 got shot up. He was heading inside when the swat showed up. 2 mins earlier and hes right in the thick of it all!
I already said I know one girl who was ACTUALLY fucking shot!
The whole thing is just too hard to wrap your brain around. I've been calling everyone Ive ever met to see if they're alive. So many people where just like me, only a couple of yards away. Easily could have been shot.

I thought of you too when I heard about this in the morning, Shane. I'm glad you're okay. I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this, it must be amazingly hard. I'm glad the girl you know will be okay. Good luck.

Shane, good to hear that you are alive and uninjured. All my best wishes go out to you and your peers.
I actually did not know about this until I read this thread. Sick events like this further my belief that I should have a weapon for self defense. This isn't the place for that though.

Glad you are ok and stay safe and careful in the next few weeks. The fallout from these events can be like an aftershock since a lot of people will be angry, hurt, unstable and looking for someone tangible in order to place blame (i.e. if the shooter was a janitor, minority, etc.). Has it been disclosed if the shooter was a student?

They think he maybe was because he would have known the campus pretty well to move as quickly through it as he did. Nothing confirmed yet though.

Glad you're safe man!

So glad to hear that you're safe, 'Rilla and that your friend made it out of surgery alright. I'm so sorry this happened to your campus and I hope that the friends you've been calling all day are safe as well. My prayers go out to your peers and their families...no one deserves this, and I hope with all hope that you all make it through as best as you can in the next few weeks. Take care of yourself

I've barely been here for a year but my thoughts immediately turned to Shane when reading the news. I'm so glad you're ok mate.
My thoughts go out to the victims/injured. The society we live in today is ridiculously incompassionate and violent.

For an update on the events. People are telling me that he was seen in Randolph waving a gun around. Not that I believe them, but it's just difficult to wrap your mind around. I don't want to believe them. I can't believe them.
When I would watch old tradgedies on television, like the shooting in Lancaster PA (the amish school), you just can't relate. It's easy to desensitize yourself to the violence becuase movies and television are so much more fierce.
But watching the video of pop pop pop the 20 odd shots on the guys cell phone video (Which varified that I heard the gunmans last 3 shots and mistaked them for people knocking down doors with battering rams. Also the nerds in my class thought they were flashbang grenades. Im looking at you Triptanes.)
Every one of those gun shots is someone's life becoming infinitely worse than it was mintues before. Everyone one of those pops is a bullet crashing into someone's chest, someone's arm...
What's sick is that everyone knows that when they release the names tomorrow, you're going to recognize someone. It's a big campus, but it's a small campus in that you see the same people everywhere you go it seems like.
It's just difficult to watch the news and be so sensitive to every image, video and detailed report that your mind throws you right in there. It's really shocking what your mind can put you through when I didn't even see any blood.
All I wanted to do since the momment I got home was just get blazed out of my mind and float away. But you can't get away, it's all anyone talks about and all anyone wants to watch. We just congeal in front of the TV and save for the frequent beer and food runs, zombify ourselves.
I still think that I'm a pretty well adjusted kid, but I have a lot more respect for a lot more things after this. It's just beyond the scope of what my psyche can handle right now. I'm just going to keep drinking until someone changes the damn channel.
