At times when I see this I think, am I really reading this? Is it a dream? What the heck. So very, very sad.

With all the violence and murders, there are supporters of these perps. Why? Even after some of these criminals are convicted.

<modsnip>

The taking of ONE life is unforgivable. I don't give a rat's what the excuse for killing is, it is wrong, it is evil.

Many of us have experienced unfairness, been a victim, got a rotten deals. Murder is NO excuse. Almost ready to change my mind on the death penalty.

Sending positive energy to LE and those around the crime scene, including family and loved ones experiencing panic and fear right now.

This is so wrong and evil.

This is my alma mater and know several current students. The ones I’ve been able to contact are safe, thank God. There was a lot of confusion about what was actually happening. I won’t post any info from them since obviously I don’t have links and there is still a lot of chaos so getting accurate information from them is difficult.

As far as the perp in custody... FL has the ultimate penalty.
Just pointing that out.

My utmost condolences to the families of the deceased and prayers for the injured.


Any grievance or 'reason' the perps may have had -- flies out the window when they chose to murder people.
IMO.

"I was leaving the Union with my food. There’s a road next to it and I was walking and this guy pulls up in an orange Hummer, and he gets out with a rifle and shoots in my direction. There were a couple other kids near me,” Heeter explained. “I think he was shooting and he missed. So he goes back into his car and grabs a pistol, then he turns and shoots the lady in front of him. That’s when I just started running.”

I'm glad the shooter has been detained. So many times they take their own lives and don't face justice.

The students must have been terrified. I can imagine the fear that US parents must feel sending their kids to school and university, not knowing if one day there will be a shooting.

When the news broke here in the UK it stated four injured, but it appears there has been deaths alongside those injured. So sad and unwarranted.
