Thread is locked for clean up. I am SHOCKED at some of the posts here.
I doubt if we will reopen this thread. Bannings and timeouts will be happening.

Thanks, @Tricia.

Fortunately for me I got here too late to see anything like that.

A man was assassinated. That’s dreadful. Period.

IMO

<modnsip: quoted post was removed> Knowing so little about guns, it seems to me that what you are saying is correct. That shot was precise. It was someone who knew how to pinpoint from far away IMO.

Police still searching for attacker, CBS reports​

Three sources familiar with the investigation into the shooting have told CBS News, the BBC's US partner, that a search for the suspect is still ongoing.

A further two law enforcement sources said that police have not yet declared the scene safe for the public.

Utah Valley University (UVU) released a statement asking those "still on campus to secure in place until police officers can safely escort them off campus".

UVU police said they are currently going "building to building" to conduct the evacuation.

A US Marine is trained to hit a man-sized target from 500 yards away with iron sights. 200 yards perhaps with a scope, and assuming the shooter was higher up in a building shooting downward is not that difficult.

Rest in peace Charlie. Thoughts with his family. No one should be killed for their politics, even if you don't agree with them.

May he rest in peace and love to his family and friends. Gun violence is never the answer and it saddens me that so many victims are shot just living their lives. Not everyone needs to agree with the multitudes of issues and decisions we are faced with every day, but no one deserves to die either. Prayers to all who loved him.

That campus has to be littered with cameras. I’d be surprised if they weren’t hot on his heals.

I would like to know why there was basically zero security at this event. Seems very strange to me.
