It used to be a celebratory event to send your child off to college......now I would be terrified to.

And with all of the lower level school shootings, not colleges, I think I would've opted for home schooling .

My heart goes out to the parents of school (or college) aged children these days, it has to be scary.

There are 350 million people in this country and handful of shootings like this a year....I think....our kids are safe...lol Even if there were 1000 such shootings a year, the percentage of being caught in one would still be so low it wouldn't even register.

No, it's so much more. Please check the stats posted for you.

It's a cryin' shame we have to waste our pee on an idiot shooter like this.

I really think we've lost our humanity when we just shrug our shoulders and "accept" that these shootings are the "price we pay" for our freedom.

I say B.S. on that.

Someone in the building texting that they have to use the bathroom.....and see police running passed the room. Have to barricade the door as the doors swing outward......jeez.

By the end of the day, some of "our" kids are not safe today. If 2 people were killed, perhaps some parents will be grieving tonight! They'll grieve whether they are pro or anti gun reform!!

Schools really aren't very safe, the shootings, rapes and assaults are rising............

372 mass shootings in the US in 2015, killing 475 people and wounding 1,870, according to the Mass Shooting Tracker, which catalogues such incidents. A mass shooting is defined as a single shooting incident which kills or injures four

School shootings: There were 64 school shootings in 2015, according to a dedicated campaign group set up in the wake of the Sandy Hook elementary school massacre in Connecticut in 2012. Those figures include occasions when a gun was fired but no-one was hurt.
All shootings: Some 13,286 people were killed in the US by firearms in 2015, according to the Gun Violence Archive, and 26,819 people were injured [those figures exclude suicide]. Those figures are likely to rise by several hundred, once incidents in the final.
60% were by firearm compared with 31% in Canada, 18.2% in Australia, and just 10% in the UK.

And according to AAA, over the next 100 days and average of 10 traffic deaths per day will be caused by teenage drivers.

........and it's a secret on how many deaths are causes by medical malpractice and misprescribed medications.

UCLA campus is a gun-free zone.

I guess someone didn't get the memo.
