[QUOTE](CNN)Three people were shot on the main campus of Tennessee State University in Nashville late Thursday night, authorities said.
The victims have been transported to hospital, said Tanya Stone of Nashville Metro Police.
She did not provide information on their condition or whether they are students. It's unclear whether the shooter is still on the loose.[/QUOTE]
Small article so I just quoted the whole thing.
What's with the US and school shootings?
[QUOTE=Passing;48964299]What's the US and school shootings?[/QUOTE]
The US is the United States of America. School shootings are when someone goes to a school with a gun and starts shooting people.

Couldn't school shooting also refer to taking a camera with you to school to shoot the school?
Didnt they do that for Highschool Musical or some shit

1. Edgy and mentally disturbed young adult illegally acquires weapon
2. said young adult shoots up a public space in order to gain infamy
3. Media reports on and sensationalizes the incident, making the young adult infamous
4. Other Edgy and Mentally Disturbed young adults see the news and get ideas
5. Cycle repeats
We don't even know if this was a personal attack or another "make me famous" yet.

Considering it happened around 1am chances are it was either a mugging gone bad or a domestic.

US stands for United States though.
[QUOTE=Passing;48964299]What's with the US and school shootings?[/QUOTE]
I don't think this was a school shooting so much as a shooting that just happened to take place at a school. School shootings usually target the school itself, targets the students or faculty of said school, tend to have undertones of causing terror behind them, and they almost always involve more than three victims.
nice there's even some video game blame in this story

See... if everyone had a gun this wouldn't have happened! Oh wait... he shot people over a dice game. People shouldn't carry guns with them all the time.

Predominantly black school in a bad neighborhood. Not a school shooting, just a gang shooting.

Show me evidence of this happening.
Everyone posts this, but never has evidence supporting. I can think of one shooting that the shooter said that they were motivated by another shooting.

That guy that shot up Virginia tech praised the columbine shooters, that dude that murder the reporter and cameraman praised the columbine shooters.

Just because they didn't say it doesn't mean they weren't inspired. It's been proven that mass shootings happen in clusters and a mass shooting is more likely to occur within weeks of another.

Not always illegally. Columbine kids bought guns semi legally (the means they used were legal, but their ownership of a gun was not. Ammo was bought legally from Kmart as well)

Vtech shooter bought legally

[editline]24th October 2015[/editline]
Honestly I don't know why they wouldn't buy legally. It's extremely easy to buy a handgun or rifle legally
[QUOTE=proboardslol;48971892]Ammo was bought legally from Kmart as well[/QUOTE]
You can buy ammo from a discount store?
[QUOTE=proboardslol;48971892]

Well, That's because there are plenty of guns out in the open for people to buy legal and illegal if it suddenly become illegal you'd see the price skyrocket from like 1,000 bucks to something like 20,000.
It happen here there was a report somewhere about the price of firearms in the criminal world before and after, still i'm kinda amazed with the recent attack we had here with that cafe and more recently that kid with the revolver hasn't happen early in the US given that firearms are more easy to obtain.
[QUOTE=Annoyed Grunt;48971928]You can buy ammo from a discount store?[/QUOTE]
Yes, but Kmart changed their policy on selling ammo to minors after the Michael Moore documentary "Bowling For Columbine" in which they brought a columbine survivor to the Kmart HQ and protested their policy outside the building. As a result, Kmart said they would no longer sell ammo to children
Wait, they used to sell ammo to kids?
[QUOTE=maxspeed3006;48972790]Wait, they used to sell ammo to kids?[/QUOTE]
Yes, in the US you must be 18 to buy a shotgun, 21 to buy a handgun, but Ammo has no restriction. One of the kids who was shot at columbine and was paralyzed went to the Kmart headquarters saying "I'd like to return some Ammo purchased at one of your stores; it's embedded in my spinal cord"

apparently they stopped selling the ammo altogether
[editline]24th October 2015[/editline]
K so I mixed some stuff up; eric harris was 18 and bought the ammo as an 18 year old. The guns were bought privately from some dude in a straw purchase (which is illegal), and also bought the tec-9 from another dude privately (which I think was illegal). Though Harris could have bought the shotgun legally

Video, short shows the guns going off.
