    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.

    He was shooting into class rooms. Most class rooms have one door for entry/exit. Run into the room, the people ALL run to the back of the room. They are all lined up ready to be shot. It isn't hard...

    Imagine 30-50 people huddled in the corner of a room. Is it really *that* hard to aim at a group of huddled people and shoot? No.

    You act as if he was picking them off, individually, from 15ft away. I have a feeling that they were running away and/or huddled up against the wall. That makes people VERY easy targets. You don't have to be THAT good of a shot. Also, you don't know how many shots that he fired. He might have fired over 200 rounds, killed 31, injured 29, and missed the rest.
