tragic.
Can you imagine how frightening that would be? I've actually thought about what I'd do if somebody walked in our offices and started shooting.
Hate to say it, but I'd probably close my office door and hide under my desk. I'm about the second person they would see as they started through the office.
Let's all keep these kids in our thoughts and prayers.
It's a dangerous world.
Read the classroom was in the/an engineering building.
Everything progressives do is aimed at weakening democracy, capitalism and the social and cultural institutions that support those things...... They are about subjugating people and being a ruling class.
We've talked about this in here in my office. We're the first office by the side entrance. But mine's the last one in the row - so I'd be last. And I'd have time to get to my hidin' place. And, yes - I have a hiding place. That's how much I've thought about this.Originally Posted by 12
When you get bomb threats from people because the company's owned by the Japanese you tend to think about stuff like this. Which makes me very sad.

Well, I've actually thought about basically the same thing. The possibility of someone shooting up my school. In fact, I've thought for awhile it was possible at Baylor by muslim extremists who want to make a statement by shooting up a Christian school in Bush's backyard.
I'm not saying that's the case here, but like you I've considered the possibility of someone shooting up my school.
why do people who obviously have a death wish choose to kill inocent people? i mean if you want to commit suicide then do it but dont take other people with you who still want to live. Very sad and uncalled for.
They're still looking for a second....first shooting was in a dorm, then across campus in the Eng. building...that's why it's taking so long to secure the campus & let everyone get out...
21 dead, 21 wounded...tragic
At least the shooter they nailed, will now face a much worse fate than prison ever could've...
It's impossible to get any justice out of an act like that. When they kill themselves you can't find the closure that a trial and execution would bring.
The last time something of this magnitude occurred at a college campus was the Charles Whitman rampage in 1966 at the University of Texas. Horrible.

Wow, MSNBC has audio from one of the victims. Said the shooter had on a black leather coat. He just decided to go on a shooting spree, and that he wanted to come back, but the classmates had barricaded the door so the shooter could not get back in and kill more people. The shooter apparently tried to shoot through the door. The victim said he got shot in the arm.
I don't know what I'd do if something like that were to happen at OU.
