It appears there are more than one shooter. How is legal campus carry working for them (Texas Colleges are not gun-free zones, from what I understand)?--we'll see.

I'm curious how someone reconciles blaming medication, while denying that firearms has something to do with it.

If you feel the firearms caused this, then shouldn't you be turning yours in?

Campus Carry is brought up in almost every Texas legislative session, it has yet to be passed.

It is not even know if the 2 gunmen had anything to do with the college yet.When i lived in Houston there was crime everywhere so probably some drug dealer or just 2 idiots f---ing it up for the law abiding citizens.

The Harris County Sheriff's Office is on the scene, as well as other law enforcement agencies, including ATF agents called to respond.

Why the ATF involved?


109 shootings in Chicago so far this year ! Houston seems to be doing better...

We have drug raids here all the time and the ATF is involved. The federal invasion of out local and state police has become Keystone and common.

Three people were reported shot when gunfire erupted at a Houston-area community college, law enforcement sources said.

...

NBC station KPRC-TV reported that police had one person in custody and were searching a subdivision near the North Harris campus of Lone Star College to determine if another person who fled the scene could be a possible suspect.

DEVELOPING: Two people were shot Tuesday on Lone Star College’s campus located in north Houston, a school spokeswoman told Fox News.
It is unclear if there was more than one gunman, but one person is in custody. Police are treating the scene as though there is an active shooter and searching the nearby woodland for a possible second shooter. The shooting is said to have stemmed from a confrontation between two people near the school’s learning lab.

They should re-authorize dueling .... let them shoot at each other...any states still allow dueling?

Why they got rid of this time honored tradition is a mystery.

No, I didn't. You must be messing with me.:rolleyes:

Honestly I think you are messing with yourself, your post clearly indicated you believe firearms "had something to do with it".

Now you deny it!?

You should lay off that kool-aid for a while, you might be able to see things more clearly.
