I know! I'm as shocked as you are!!!! :shock:

Unless..... oh no..... I can't believe this might be a possibility... but....

Maybe..... the guy BROKE THE LAW?!?!?!

Unfathomable, I know, that criminals actually Break the law!!!


:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:


So far there's no reports of any other injuries or fatalities other than the gunman himself. I hope it stays that way.

I know how angered we are right now because some many were hurt in a "safe" "gun free zone.'

Lets please all say a prayer for those affected.

A tweeter on campus, at UT Law on the north side, says he had an AK47 (who knows).

They are also looking for a second suspect.

Friend of mine just tweeted he's locked down in PCL's 5th floor. Shooter killed himself on 6th floor. Second gunman still on the loose.
