Well it sounds like the shooter is dead and seems like he is the only one/so that is good. I can imagine the anti gunners getting ready to rant and rave-only now they have a real problem since he used a shotgun.

 

[burmafrd]

Actually, latest word seems to be that he was using buckshot or birdshot and so far it seems he was not close enough to anyone to really cause a lot of damage. though its early yet

Two people, and the gunman himself, have been confirmed dead.

Blame everyone but the guy doing the killing. typical.

This is just a sad stroy. I don't understand why someone would feel so compelled to do something like this. My thoughts are out to all the families of the victims.
