6 shot dead, including gunman, at Northern Illinois University
"Kevin McEnery said he was in the classroom when the gunman, dressed in a black shirt, dark pants and black hat, burst in carrying a shotgun."
"Grady said the man used three guns: a shotgun, a Glock handgun and a small-caliber handgun, and was still on the stage when he turned one of the guns on himself. The small-caliber handgun has not been recovered, he said."
Now, how does a gun disappear, if only one shooter?

All I heard was the tail end of this on the radio. I need to look and see what is going on huh?
Edited to add....
Grr,, why do they always kill themselves???? Your right, they still haven't found the other hand gun.

Katt, be thankful they kill themselves...... In a few years some psycho chick would attempt to marry him while he was waiting for the appeal hearing to decide if he is competent enough to stand trial. 
These are truly a few trials we do not need to allow the media to sensationalize.
But after looking at that last post, maybe we should start banning schools?

Thankfully, my nephew didn't go to classes today at NIU. Also, our neighbor's son was on the other side of the campus when this happened, so he is also safe. Such a tragedy!

...Just last week and east of Dekalb at Tinley Park (also Chicago area), 5 women were shot and killed in a supermarket and the shooter is still loose.
5 Dead in Illinois Mall Shooting; Suspect Still on the Loose
...Under prior Obama as our state senator, Illinois has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, where in many cities, including Chicago, hand guns are illegal period... Oh yea, those laws do a lot of good.

This is precisely what happens when sheeple are forced to live in the Utopia perpetrated upon them by the "we'll keep you safe, so we'll ban your guns" party of the Dhimm's.
Anyone happen to take notice that these attacks always...always...happen in places where the Dhimm's have established "Gun Free Zones".
It's laughable!
These poor sheep had no means of defending themselves and they were once again slaughtered by a wolf that wasn't worried about breaking a stupid little gun law.

These occurances with the schools (and most very similar) are establishing a very alarming pattern, while increasing rapidly in frequency.
It is sad in a way that we cannot interrogate the perps to find a psychological motive for such actions. Because we really don't have one of any substance. Much of the reason for that is they always kill themselves. So we can only investigate their past and their limited associations with others, to attempt to speculate on a possible motive.
Without any solid motive, or a clear profile, it's most difficult to develop a method for prevention of such things in the future.
But I do hope someone very good at doing so, is starting to compile psyche profiles of such shooters, as best they can, and that hopefully someone is in pursuit of developing a reasonable solution. What we're doing now, isn't working.

But an increased number of armed law abiding citizens who have been well-schooled in the laws relating to justifiable homicide and who by practice, have become well adept at shooting straight and fast, is the best deterrent for the wannabe school or college shooting spree perpetrators.
It is past time to enact bounty laws to provide tax-free financial rewards for those who lawfully use lethel force to protect themselves or others.

Isn't it laughable how the communists/socialists always want to find a way of coddling or studying these crazies to find out what makes them tick? They want to keep them alive in some fancy hospital under the care of all sorts of doctors or psycologists and find out what makes them do the things they do, LOL.
I have a far easier solution...
Remove those signs that say "mass murderers welcome here in Sheep-ville", train and license upstanding citizens in the proper use of deadly force and stop these sons of bitches on the spot.
The touchy-feely crowd can then study what's left of the perps brains if they can scrape any off the walls...

So I think what we're saying here is, we're going to solve the problem by issuing AK-47's assault weapons to all the kids as they enroll in each class and make it mandatory for everybody to come to class armed to the teeth.. Hmmm..
Then if anybody looks a little funny on any given day, just blow them away! 
Yes, I suppose that's a very reasonable solution..  Hadn't even thought of that. Have you written various School Security Departments and suggested this?

The shooter should have been waterboarded.....There's no telling how many innocent lives could be saved if we started waterboarding ALL suspicious students.
Damn libruls!

more poeple die each day from ..... just about anything...
but when a psycho kills innocents... the usual suspects are rounded up..and favorite agenda's are brought out... this has been going on since the begining.. Cain indeed did kill Able.. ( so..now Hammer can join in here..)
IMHO..it is sad ..it should not have happened..but it did..so look to your own children..and see if they are part of the problem here...
Gun control or not.. would not have stopped or started this..
Liberals or Republicans did not cause this...
Religion or not did not cause this...
a young person.. who felt this was the thing to do (for him) is who caused this..
now...why did he snap??
...and if anyone is to blame..it is the people who stood by while he was snapping and said..oh well..he will just have to deal with it the best way that he can...as it is not my problem here..

Thank you GH for speaking the voice of reason that is so rare in these occasions. It's truly sickening how people use things like this to push their own agendas. It never takes long either.

look to your own children
...and love them, and make sure they know you do.
Be grateful for them. And never take one day for granted.
