    This is awful. I have a younger sister going to St. Edwards this fall...I just find it hard to believe any place is safe nowadays. :(

    Regardless of what you think, this just goes to show you that there really is no "safe" place. Whether guns are/are not allowed, whether you are at a school, in a post office, at work sitting in your cubicle, there is no such thing as completely safe.

    Just saw a person in handcuffs on the ground that was Asian but the news person said that the man was released as the gunman was deceased.

    You would pretty much have to convince yourself you are already dead to face down an armed psycho when your best weapon is a Zebra pen.
