Also find it interesting that John Woods, the former Virginia Tech and current UT student who's girlfriend was killed in the 2007 tragedy and is now adamantly opposed to campus carry, is spinning this latest UT shooting as a suicide and not a "shooting".
But.. Wait.. I thought he said that Allowing Guns on Campus would make it easier for students to kill themselves with guns, and since they aren't allowed right now, that it prevents it?

I think this suicide, by gun, on a campus where they're not allowed, sort of blows a hole in his own theory.
There you go .... that proves there aren't "enough signs" prohibiting it...

The ONLY difference between UT and Luby's, "suicides" (shootings), was that the UT guy didn't desire to hurt others. The police arrived quickly and set up perimeters at both. Both suicide victims took guns where they shouldn't have, where citizens weren't allowed to protect themselves.

"An acquaintance of Hennard's revealed that he had discussed suicide on several occasions prior to 1984"

Oh, another difference is that at Luby's, no one sent text messages to the 24 people who died and the other 20 injured before the guy shot himself and the police "had it under control." Like that Virginia Slims cigarette commercial used to say "We've come a long way, baby" (We can text now)

John Woods needs to be locked in a room with Dr. Suzanna Hupp for a couple days while she describes her personal experience day at Luby's compared to John "being told by a friend who survived at Virgina Tech"

Re: Shots fired at UT Campus...

I've already gotten chewed out today by the few family members of another political persuasion than most of us on my own family e-mail group, just for mentioning the timing (moderated by my cousin who wrote this story about him covering the Charles Whitman Story in 1966)

Re: Shots fired at UT Campus...

Only took 5 minutes for sirens and alerts from the shots fired. :shock:

My eyes are too tired to count how many times this emoticon fires in 5 minutes. (or 30 minutes !!!) :fire

8:10 shots fired outside in front of tower
8:15 sirens and alerts go out
8:25 school on lockdown
8:40-ish shoots himself in library on 6th floor

roughly 30 minutes, and relatively, a lot of ground covered in that time for a "target rich area", had the time of day been different.

The university is closed.

Due to the events of today, the campus is closed. Unless you are needed for essential operations, all faculty, staff and students are urged to leave campus. Students who live on campus may return to their residence halls.

Because the area around the Perry Castenada Library (PCL) is an actively investigated crime scene and due to the difficulty of navigating that portion of the campus, it is urged that area be avoided. As you leave the campus, please exit the campus from north exits. Employees who ride buses to work may catch the bus at Dean Keeton or at on 23rd and San Jacinto. If you are in buildings near the PCL, please exit buildings from exits away from PCL.

On time sheets, please list time away from campus today as Emergency Leave. Also, please check the campus Emergency Web site (http://www.utexas.edu/know/2010/09/28/emergency_alert/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ) for additional updates.

All other campus employees are urged to continue at work and to exercise care until the all clear is given.

Please direct any questions to HRSC@austin.utexas.edu or call 471-HRSC (4772)

I tied up MSN's legal dept and FBI agents a full day once where the FBI would ask the MSN people technical questions on how they got info on a guy in Pakistan and his plans, they'd ask me, then it would be discussed with the MSN attorneys, concerned with "privacy issues" , then explained to the FBI "rlol" My NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) has expired from there now lol)
