    Yeah she said they closed her ER due to the # of casualties, but they have been in touch with the other hospitals in the area. I hope she is misinformed and apologize if her #'s are innacurate.

    I hope she is misinformed too, that would be terrible. No need to apologize, its understandable that numbers get mixed up.

    he must have lined them up and just shot the students execution style. Thats the only way you could kill that many ppl or unless you had the aim of a sniper. For example, the Columbine shooters did most of their killing when the kids were hiding under tables.

    Or timed it so that a majority of classes would be letting out then just shot randomly in the hallway.

    Also anyone who blames this on a video game is a fucking idiot.

    these news reporters on all of these channels must be so frustrated right now. They arn't getting any info on this and they just keep letting random students talk live and ask them if they know anything. They are trying to make it seem as if they care about these students but all they are doing is trying to get info and if they dont have any they hang up on them and go to somebody else

    I dont regularly watch the news either. But when something like this happens I watch Fox. Plus their coverage was better IMO.

    You would be correct, killed execution style (not definite, trustworthy source though)

    Not really. If people are huddled together, you can shoot one, go through that person, and hit another. Boom, two people dead with one shot. It's like fish in a barrel. If you have a 9mm with 15-17rnd standard mags, it's easy to shoot and reload. If you have lets say a Glock with the special 30rnd mags, well, you get the idea.

    It was *said* that he had a tac vest on with multiple mags attached, though.

    Yea, im thinking this guy could have just walked around the buildings while firing away and still had plenty of victims. Im still shocked they didn't cancel shit after the first shooting at 7:15, that seems kind of rediculous.

    I assume he would have to be a pretty good shooter to fatally wound 31 people out of 60, prior military? My mind cannot conceive the horror that was in that dormitory so I cannot begin to imagine what really happened. 2 9mm's in hand though I find it hard to believe that he was just walking through shooting people.

    Don't really need to have aim if you shoot alot of rounds. Aim at head level, fire. Its also possible that the person was a hunter or had lots of practice with guns recreationally.
