2. Just another nutcase with a gun....

"A 26-year-old man with a history of mental problems held at least a dozen college students at gunpoint during a nine-hour standoff before a SWAT team stormed the school building and killed him.
Authorities said the gunman, Harold Kilpatrick Jr., had left a note at his sister's house before the standoff Wednesday saying he "wanted to kill some people and die today." "

Thanks to the corrupt gun industry and the GOP, this guy could walk into any gun show in the state and buy guns without a background check.

6. Sadly, the nutcase was smart enough

3. Not much coverage. I did see a quick bit that they shot and killed him.

They really sort of forgot about this story, didn't they? In my mind it was huge, and should have gotten more press. It did at first, then hard to find anything.

I just checked our paper, and there is not a word.

5. so they did shoot him dead...

see I didn't hear that part....thanks.
yeah...there wasn't much coverage...wonder why?

7. It was a very very quick bit, but I am pretty sure.

If I had blinked, I would have missed it. Maybe they felt that too much coverage would inspire others. ??
