Three people were injured during a shooting on the campus of Lone Star College in Houston, Texas, this afternoon, causing the school to be locked down and evacuated while police searched for a suspect.

Police officials who spoke on campus at 3 p.m. today said that shots were fired on the campus and at least three people were injured.

"A person of interest has been detained," said Major Armando Tello of the Harris County Sherrif's Department.

Another gun free zone ?

Thank God no one was killed.

My niece attends Lonestar. She's okay. She wasn't on campus when the shootings occurred.

Just wondering if any of our rootin'-tootin' Texans were able to pull out their pistol and stop the guy?

sane enough to understand the tactical advantage of a "soft target".

Uou counter a crazy person with a gun with a law abiding citizen with a conceal carrry permit.

Don't hesitate to exploit this for political gains. Classless behavior is a great way to convince people about a political issue.:roll:

Two morons shooting at each other? Three innocents hit, one moron in custody, appears to be unharmed, other moron may be still loose. Not only a gun free zone, but a quite zone too - the campus library.
 
Re: Lone Star College Shooting Leaves 3 Injured, 'Person of Interest' in Custody

Nope. Another crazy person with a gun. Same like the one in New Mexico

Actually, from what I've been able to glean so far, it seems to have been a personal dispute between 2 students who were both armed and a couple of people got caught in the crossfire.
 
Re: Lone Star College Shooting Leaves 3 Injured, 'Person of Interest' in Custody

Guns are not allowed on college campus in Texas, according to the news story I read.


Very little is known at this time; almost nothing in fact. A staff member of some kind was wounded, and someone identified as a student. Allegedly another shooter escaped and has not yet been caught; it is not known if he is a student.

Considering how the media tends to get details and even basic facts flat wrong in early reporting, I think attempting to characterize this incident, or score political points of either sort with it, would be unwise at this time. We simply don't know what really happened yet.

Wanna bet one of these guys has a history of mental problems?

... or drug abuse, or prior violent crimes...

Yup. Crimes committed with firearms by people without any criminal or mental health histories are quite low. The last rash of mass shootings have virtually all been done by those with mental illness.

What is disturbing about this is that several of the GOP who are calling for mental health safeguards for firearms were the same GOP who voted mental health safeguards for firearms down before.

or liberals who were against those records being supplied to law enforcement agencies or NICS

Maybe.

Frankly, I've seen most disputes start between people that are otherwise just fine mentally. If I had to guess I'd say that it is more likely that one or both had a history of violence.

Your'e deeply confused. You must be refering to Obama surrounding himself like a tin pot dictator with children so he can demagogue and politicize an issue.

Unless I missed your criticism of him.

nah, most likely your'e just a hypocrite like the rest of your ilk.

Or, a street punk with a gun, going after specific targets.

This isn't a mass shooting.

I'll put my money on a criminal history; probably street gang involvement.

Another madman armed by NRA whacko gunnut policies.

Wanna bet he also got his gun legally, due to the NRA refusal to join reality and support rational gun restrictions like universal background checks.

Okay, we get that you hate the 2nd Amendment. Gotcha!! We get it.

Please list the specific NRA policies.

Yes, it will be instructive to find out where they acquired the guns they used.
