It's getting messed with.

I mean, seriously...

Some guys hundreds of years ago wrote in the constitution that we can have guns and they gotta at least be 3/5 right, right?

Summer is approaching and the weather has been getting warmer. It's only going to get worse as more and more of the nut jobs are waking up from hibernation.

 

[chaobreaker]

Why is it always the colleges...

 

[Valhelm]

I feel like these shootings are a lot less frequent than they were a couple years ago. Would be really cool to see if they've actually dropped, and why.

news update from live video, suspect is a White Male with a buzz haircut ... they are still searching for him

 

[Pagusas]

Be safe.

Whoa, be safe!

I am, we have a good security staff at the building and electronically locked double doors. Just crazy as this was the one day this week I'm working out of the office. Praying for all those at the college.

They haven't.

Using the same criteria as in your link, we're still at about one a day. (118 so far in 2017)

Copy cat crime since guns are so easily available in US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copycat_crime

 

[Volimar]

Seems like the summer shooting season is starting early this year.

 

[thebeeks]

Man, I went to North Lake in the mid 00s, and now work about 10 mins away. This all seems so surreal.

Stay safe, y'all.

@IrvingPD

We have what appears to be one victim deceased & the shooter has committed suicide.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

@IrvingPD

Sounds more like a murder suicide than active shooter. But initial precautions and such.

 

[Pagusas]

its amazing how fast it fell off national news as soon as it looked like a murder suicide.

 

[Oscar]

Texas has been a vortex for murder these last few days.

Austin stabbings yesterday, 15yr old shot by police on Sunday in Balch Springs, murder/suicide in Irving today.

Pretty sure a paramedic was shot in Dallas a few days ago too.
