"Waking up and finding there's been a shooting on campus is disconcerting."
Understandment of the year from the news woman.

Damn, I was at that library 30 minutes before he came in. If I was a weaker man I'd take that as a sign from god

Swat team just entered a building with a bunch of dogs.
This is the view I am getting from the balcony. The SWAT Tank was on this tow truck thing. Sorry for quality, camera phone

From the sounds of it there isn't another shooter but Police aren't taking their chances as they have differing descriptions.

Even if there is one the campus is 40 acres, it would take a week to find him. No one else was shot (as per reports) I think its over.
What a hectic morning.

Local news is so horrible, they just take whatever facts they have and then conjecture a story out of with a slight disclaimer at the end of "unconfirmed report"
Really pathetic, I have never seen a local news team (in any city) with an ounce of journalistic integrity. They just all seem like leeches

I would have shitt myself if I saw him.

"Adjunct UT law professor Randall Wilhite told the Austin-American Statesman he was driving toward class on University Drive - by the AT&T Conference Center - when he heard what he thought was construction noise but turned out to be gunshots.
He saw students scattering and a man in a suit carrying what appeared to be an assault rifle heading east on 21st Street.
"He ran right in front of my car, fired two or three shots south sort of generally in my direction but not at me," Wilhite said. "They seemed to hit to my left sort of in the median. It didn’t look like he was targeting individuals. He was just sort of shooting into the ground.""
Sounds like a glorified suicide with no attempt to hurt others, just get attention.

Yea, and I don't think there is another gunmen, police just thought there was because of conflicting descriptions of the gunman.
He shot randomly in the library and did not hit anyone their either. Should have just stayed at home and killed himself stupid bastard

Cheers man, it was a bit scary. It's all over now, glorified suicide. Perhaps he wanted to mass murder and then could not go through with it. He only shot at the walls despite the library being full of people. A few students even tried to talk to him and calm him down but he went upstairs and shot himself.
The weapon was an AK47 apparently
As much as I am for the 2nd amendment sometimes I wonder.

Seems like this situation was very different to other ones we've seen.
Isn't the 2nd ammendment actually to do with the use of weapons against a government uprising? (Or something to do with the government)
Guns are designed for one thing and one thing only. Sure, the black market will still exist. It's probably too late to do anything, the amount of guns in circulation would be difficult, so you're only hope we be some sort of tighter control, like psych evaluations when renewing licenses.
Maybe I'm off the mark, but from discussing it elsewhere, it just seems a lot of Americans are just really, really paranoid, and that's why they need guns.
