Not that I'd want to get shot with anything, but that's gotta be a painful way to go

Crossbow? Those things are dangerous. Why would anyone need one anyway? Oughta be a law!

[LabRat]

Now they're saying 1 of the dead is the suspect....did I read that right?

Someone at the college said there "is no one at large." So the suspect is dead, by their own hand?

The article didn't come right out and say the suspect was dead.

How does one commit suicide with a crossbow?

Many questions

Let's blame the video games.

I think Wyoming is an OC and/or CC state and neither mode requires any permit. That said, it's still against the Wyoming law to kill people who don't need killin'.

Says sharp edged weapon, no cross bow mentioned. Does say a gun was not involved. Does not say guns are banned on college campuses so the victims could not defend themselves or concerned parties with a gun could not stop it.

This was a murder suicide. It was a compound bow and the victim was the shooter's father. The shooter had earlier stabbed his father's girlfriend to death. The shooter then stabbed himself and later died.

Probably one of those evil black bows with the arrow rack mounted on it for multiple fast shots. An assault bow.

Some details:

It’s unclear exactly when Chris began the assault. Police didn’t receive the first call until 9:08 a.m. — two minutes after they first learned about the incident at the college. Officers responded to the scene, but by then, it was already too late.

From the evidence, police suspect much of the attack on Heidi took place outside the house. Chris stabbed her multiple times. Authorities found signs of defensive wounds on her body.

She was barefoot and still dressed in pajamas.

It would have taken only minutes for Chris to drive from his father’s house to the campus.

He arrived at the Wold Physical Science Center with two knives and a compound bow hidden inside a blanket.

...

Chris Krumm stepped into the classroom and drew back the bowstring. His father, Casper College professor Jim Krumm, was close; maybe only four feet away. Chris fired a single arrow.

It struck his father in the side of the head, and traveled through to the other side. The impact knocked the older man to the floor.

But the 56-year-old rose and fought back. Police aren’t sure how long the struggle lasted, but it gave the students inside enough time to escape.

Somehow in the chaos that followed, the door was bumped shut. It locked father and son inside, in a final struggle.

...

Police haven’t pieced together the details of the final struggle.

They know it wasn’t a protracted battle. They also know three faculty members tried to intervene. Security arrived with keys, and at one point, after the door was opened, someone threw a coffee mug.

Investigators believe Chris stabbed himself multiple times before plunging a large knife into his father’s chest.

The first officer arrived within minutes...

I gleaned the following from the Wyominggunowners.org website, which posts the policy of each university and college in Wyoming:

Wyoming Statute 6-8-104 (t) “No permit issued pursuant to this section or any permit issued from any other state shall authorize any person to carry a concealed firearm into- Any college or university facility without the written consent of the security service of the college or university”
Also prohibited 6-8-104(vi) Any school, college or professional athletic event not related to firearms.

I regret to inform you that this request is denied. Casper College does not permit the carrying of weapons on the campus regardless of whether a person possesses a concealed firearm permit.

Respectively yours,

This little gem appears in a follow-on article:

Casper College President Walter Nolte walked alone Saturday morning, sipping his coffee.

As he strolled down the sidewalk in front of the building, he praised the campus alert system with half of a smile on his face.

“What we did really well was evacuate the building,” he said.

Students were back on campus Saturday. The reasons varied.

“Some students are in counseling today,” he said.

An assault bow.

Probably shouldn't laugh... but this cracked me up.
