US Marine kills two colleagues at Quantico base - U.S. News

A Marine opened fire on two of his comrades Thursday night at a base in Quantico, Va., before turning the gun on himself, leaving all three dead, military officials said.
A relationship dispute was believed to be behind the shooting, which occurred in the staff barracks area of the Officer Candidates School at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Northern Virginia, a Marine official said.


Very sad.
 
Sad to hear. Lots of Marines dying stateside the last few weeks.
 
My first thought was that this has something to do with some sort of love triangle. Not an imaginative thought, I know.

That's what I think it was as well. I will most likely get some inside info on this as I have some buddies stationed there. I'll post it when I get it. Probably won't be much sooner than the news though.

Gotcha bud. Hide behind the comedy instead of acknowledging it was a little soon. Wasn't like I started smearing you or anything.

I wonder why if more people having guns is supposed to make it safer.

Jus imagine if someone at Fort Hood had been armed, when Nidal burst in and shot the place up. It was an armed police officer that stopped, in the end.
 
It would be a horrible nightmare for everyone on post to sign their firearms in and out everyday.

I never understood why anyone would kill over a woman/man...

There are plenty of fish in the sea.
 
I don't understand the poor impulse control.
