Quite a few articles I grabbed from Drudge.

It seems that 2 have died already, but there were 15 victims. Looking at these articles, this shooting seems to be a VT copycat.

I honestly hate when these things happen. Not just because we have to deal with Jack Thompson and his soap box speeches 10 min. after the crime, but because these were merely students. They probably had nothing against the shooter anyway. It seems such a sad way to go...

I think I'll watch the news to get a better update on the situation... This might become St. Valentines Day Massacre II...

Is it just me or are school shootings becoming more common?

[sees Illinois home state in title, auto-assumes Chicago]

[reads, is right]

I'm honestly not surprised. Chicago's not the place you want to go. Especially the busier/northern parts of it.

I just found out that 5 people were killed and the shooter was not enrolled in the school. I believe the rest of the victims are still in the hospital.

Seems the shooter was off his meds...and was pretty much an honor student undergrad who was actually honored by the Chicago Tribune at one point over it.

Sounds about normal.
