Omigawd, that's right across the Bay! I guess nobody can say "It can't happen here" anymore, can they? How awful...I'll have to check it out. No doubt it's all over the local news...

ETA: Yeah, it's all over the news. Dead count up to 6.

Korean, eh ? Wasn't the shooter at Va Tech Korean?

Actually, yes, he was...

Quote:

Seung-Hui Cho ( /?t?o? s??'hi?/; January 18, 1984 – April 16, 2007) was a senior-level undergraduate student at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University who killed 32 people and wounded 25 others on April 16, 2007, in the shooting rampage which came to be known as the "Virginia Tech massacre." Cho later committed suicide after law enforcement officers breached the doors of the building where the majority of the shooting had taken place. Cho's body is buried in Fairfax, Virginia. Born in South Korea, Cho arrived in the United States at the age of 8 with his family. He became a US permanent resident as a South Korean national

Remember that guy who tried to break into someones house, armed with a pistol, intent on killing, robbing, raping the owners and the homeowner shot him so full of holes?

Then we agree - guns in houses = good, outside = not so much.
Look around you, I barely trust my fellow man when he's unarmed. That's not some flaming liberal concept either. Zimmerman? Hmmm, does he remind you of anyone?
