 :pray: Prayers to all those affected.

I just don't understand why the crazies feel the need to  go to schools and arbitrarily open fire on everybody. What is their purpose?

First details on injuries were from a witness.  She said none was life threatening.

Why?  Irrational behavior, mental illness, romantic rage, ...

But why schools? What's the significance?

At least the gunman is dead. Strange to go on shooting spree at midnight.



Quote
The authorities in Tallahassee, Fla., on Thursday were investigating an overnight shooting on the campus of Florida State University that left three wounded and the gunman dead.

It's where the greatest number of people gather daily.
It also happens in the workplace. 
For years it seemed limited to Post Office facilities.
In Memphis it happens on the streets....

The "crazies" of the world were murdering folks long before firearms were invented.  The problem lies in the mind and heart of man.  The weapon he chooses to carry out his evil deeds is largely inconsequential.  Until evil is eradicated from the Earth, we will have tragedies like this.

If you think pistols are bad, just wait until all the nutjobs go nuclear.

This is awful, but the first thing that popped into my mind was "Jaboo" Winston. Then, I read where it took place in a library and immediately knew it wasn't him.

More info on the shooter.

The gunman who shot three people at Florida State University's library early Thursday before being killed by police was a lawyer who graduated from the school, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.

One of the students who was shot never felt the bullet.  His backpack stopped the bullet:

Quote
A little after 3 a.m., Derfuss dumped the contents of his backpack on the floor of his Tallahassee home and noticed the "mangled" covers of a couple of the books, including a copy of "John Wyclif (Great Medieval Thinkers)," about the 14-century philosopher.

His roommate looked through the backpack and found the slug, which Derfuss said appeared to be a 9-mm or .22-caliber round. The bullet went entirely through the Wyclif book and partially through another.

He said he considers himself "beyond lucky."

"You can literally die at any moment and never see it coming," he said. "I'm 21 — I thought I was invincible. And now I feel small."

The problem is that we're born with a sin nature, and only Jesus can fix that.  These kinds of things happen around the world, whether guns are available or not. 

I haven't heard of one happening recently, but a few years ago there was a string of knife attacks at Chinese elementary schools.  In most cases a few kids died and many were injured, the same kind of numbers as gun attacks in the U.S.  There was also a group machete attack at a train station in China earlier this year with lots of deaths.

Just heard on the news that the shooter thought the government was after him. If true, why attack kids in a library, attack an FBI Office since they are the government's police. Oh wait, they carry guns. These crazy people aren't stupid.



 :think:



Hot off the presses.



Quote
Officials with the Las Cruces Police Department in New Mexico provided the Tallahassee Democrat with two separate incident reports that say Florida State University gunman Myron May thought he was being watched.

May worked as a prosecutor with the State Attorney's Office in New Mexico before moving back to Wewahitchka in Gulf County about three weeks ago.


Scary thought.

I would not be surprised if it didn't come out that he was schizophrenic. Some of the things reported from New Mexico sound like textbook schizophrenia claims.

Armed police officers also were shot and killed in Tallahassee today in a separate incident.  Nutjob set house on fire and shot those responding.      http://news.yahoo.com/florida-shooting-leaves-2-dead-1-injured-173903902.html

So I don't think you can blame a "gun free zone."

Geez. I know one town not to go through on vacation next year.

Seriously though, prayers to the family of the officer who lost his life, and prayers for the recovery of the injured.  :pray:
