    They're in grad school, so I think they were far from the shooting. I'm still searching for a decent source of online updates. WP/CNN etc. don't have anything new or all that specific

    I really don't understand how this could have happened.

    I am certain that no one is allowed to carry a firearm on a college campus!?!?

    Very tragic........

    The early reports state that he was looking for his girlfriend or former girlfriend. Why would he kill all these other people?

    Very sad

    i've been hearing it's because of a professor he had, there is no explaination for this. they can throw out tons of ideas of why he did what he did, but the blatant truth is that no one knows why he did this. i can't help but feel so helpless when something like this happens

    The worst part about this is from what I've been hearing first reports of the shooting was at 7:30, while the last person shot happened after 10. That's quite a long time for something like that to happen..

    i'm not really surprised by this, i mean with all of the people running around, it was probably easy for the gunman to escape with all of the others running around.

    Though with all the people you would think there would be witnesses to the first shooting or at least see the guy leaving.

    “They had us under lockdown,” Kanode said. “They temporarily lifted the lockdown, the gunman shot again.”

    Umm.....???

    Unbelievable. This is the most cowardly act I can think of. If you want to take your own life, then just do it. You dont need to leave a trail of unarmed, innocent victims in your wake.

    My prayers out to all involved.
