Ugh, these are becoming way to common.
Shots fired at University of Texas-Austin (http://abcnews.go.com/US/shots-fired-university-texas-austin-cops-hunt-gunman/story?id=11744405)
A gunman wearing a ski mask and brandishing a rifle entered a library at the University of Texas at Austin today and fired several shots before taking his own life, university officials said.
Police are still looking for a possible second suspect and the campus, site of an infamous 1966 school shooting, remains on lockdown.
"The armed suspect is dead. No other injuries have been reported," UT President Bill Powers wrote in a campus email.
The shooter was found dead on the sixth floor of the library from apparently self inflicted wounds, police said.

So far no mention of him shooting AT anyone...going for death by cop maybe? Hard to believe he shot AT people and was that poor of a shot.

:lol: It was too close to a filtered site/word/something that we block. The powers that be have fixed that now. :)

It's the phrase that was blocked. I already explained it in a previous post.

Depends... AK-47s can be a handful for an inexperienced shooter, especially at a distance. He may have realised how hard it was actually gonna be to shoot people, and offed himself.

Seems he was firing into the air...most likely as an attention getter.

my friend was on campus in her grad school of health classes, got stuck in a room for three hours on lockdown. and, in true Austin fashion, she got a parking ticket in the process since she couldn't leave when she normally would. glad she's okay, along with everybody else on that campus. I was north of town, up Georgetown all day.
Go ahead and brandish all you want...just be careful not to brandish too much or it might go off. :lol:
