I thought I saw late last night that the man claimed to be part of Al-Quaida...I was tired and falling a sleep...but...Is that what I heard? Was that guy claiming to be a terrorist?

2. Just another nutcase with a gun....
"A 26-year-old man with a history of mental problems held at least a dozen college students at gunpoint during a nine-hour standoff before a SWAT team stormed the school building and killed him.
Authorities said the gunman, Harold Kilpatrick Jr., had left a note at his sister's house before the standoff Wednesday saying he "wanted to kill some people and die today." "

Thanks to the corrupt gun industry and the GOP, this guy could walk into any gun show in the state and buy guns without a background check.

6. Sadly, the nutcase was smart enough
To go a school for his nuttery....A guaranteed unarmed victim zone.

3. Not much coverage. I did see a quick bit that they shot and killed him.
They really sort of forgot about this story, didn't they? In my mind it was huge, and should have gotten more press. It did at first, then hard to find anything.

I just checked our paper, and there is not a word.

7. It was a very very quick bit, but I am pretty sure.
If I had blinked, I would have missed it. Maybe they felt that too much coverage would inspire others. ??
