well shit
It says injured, so far it doesn't say anything about deaths, so that's a good thing I guess. [editline]13th August 2012[/editline] Oh, I just read the Ambulance thing. Scratch that.
The injured need ambulances, too.
I've got friends who school there... hopefully they were out doing some stupid aggie shit and not mulling around campus.
[QUOTE=Dacheet;37215315]The injured need ambulances, too.[/QUOTE] True, but the moment there's a lot of ambulances alongside SWAT, someone is severely injured. I hope they get out all right, good that they caught the guy. [editline]13th August 2012[/editline] Thanks for the audio, I'm hearing that they're moving a fourth person to the hospital now.
Oh man. I know a lot of people there. College Station is only a few miles down the road.
Its like mass shootings are becoming a weekly thing.
[url=http://emergency.tamu.edu/]Here's another source if you want[/url]
And now another mass shooting to have in the news for weeks on end, inspiring yet another one next week.
Why do I feel like this is some copycat and these copycat incidents over the past few weeks are because these nutjobs have been emboldened by the amount of media coverage the batman shooter received?
Says Lincoln Center is the command post, they're giving out the IV supplies now.

We don't know anything yet. [QUOTE=OvB;37215414]Oh man. I know a lot of people there. College Station is only a few miles down the road.[/QUOTE] I'm in Fort Worth. I know how you feel!
[QUOTE=ewitwins;37215476]Why do I feel like this is some copycat and these copycat incidents over the past few weeks are because these nutjobs have been emboldened by the amount of media coverage the batman shooter received?[/QUOTE] Thats probably exactly whats happening. Not that the media care, all these shootings are great for them.
These retards are going to ruin everything for gun owners.

The radio's chattering about traffic now, no other news on casualties.
Fox was saying the suspect is in custody and the shooting wasn't directly on campus.

Glad to see it didn't get as bad as it could have.

Think of Virginia Tech's location inside the city of Blacksburg. Most of my family lives in Houston, but some of them go to school at A&M. I hope they're okay, and I hope the injured will heal quickly.

They built a college along a rail road. Then they built a train station- College Station. Then they built a city.
Damn this is crazy, I attend a&m, my dorm from last year (and also for this coming year) isn't far from here. I go back in ten days.
This shit needs to stop happening.
Probably inspired by our president, his opponent, and Micheal Phelps commenting on the last shooting. We're never going to learn that coverage causes copycats
fuck this i dont want to go to college anymore
For the record, I live in College Station. Pretty grim stuff going on.
Fuck the world. Just fuck it.
[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;37215425]Its like mass shootings are becoming a weekly thing.[/QUOTE] It's because of the Batman shooter. I can't find a link but when you give them publicity like that it sparks more and more, notice how all these are within the past 30 days?
