ummmm ok, so they can form a perimeter, wait outside and watch until the guy shoots himself, like at UT recently and like they always do (even at Luby's)

Article I saw called him a "gunman"...I'd say "gunboy"..he was not a man, he was 15 y/o.

I just refer to "suicidal shooter in a gun-free zone" ... like George Henard, and the guys at Columbine, Virginia Tech, etc etc etc
