In reply to the discussion: Weapons common on Oregon college campus despite 'gun-free zone' [View all]jimmy the one

.. and I knew if I fired and missed, I could hit them {innocent bystanders}," he said. Meli took cover inside a nearby store. He never pulled the trigger.. "I know after he saw me, I think the last shot he fired was the one he used on himself." .. with a stolen AR-15.. killing two people and seriously wounding a third.. Roberts entered a stairwell and committed suicide
conjecture, not a mass shooting either.
Wurst proceeded to enter Nick's Place, where the dance had been held, and subsequently fired and wounded Edrye Boraten, a teacher and two students .. shooting ended when the owner of Nick's Place, James Strand, intervened and confronted Wurst with his shotgun
'Nick's Place' evidently a dance hall is not a church, nor a school, nor a public bldg., the owner is certainly entitled to have a shotgun in his own place. This type dgu happens on occasion.
AUSTIN (KXAN) Two people were hurt in a shootout just before noon at a West Campus area construction site near the intersection of Rio Grande Street and opened fire on the sites foreman, who drew his own gun and returned fire hitting the suspect.
Not a mass shooting. Incidents like this occur now & then, but is not what Shannon watts was talking about. Icon lives up to his shortened name.
asst principal, Joel Myrick, retrieved a .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol from his truck and, spotting Woodham attempting to flee the parking lot after the shooting, shouted for him to stop. After Woodham's mother's car got stuck in the grass, Myrick ordered him out of the car at gunpoint and detained Woodham until police arrived at the scene
Woodham had already exited the school and the shooting had ended.
Plotts shot Hunt in the head, killing her, before turning the gun toward Silverman {who} managed to shoot Plotts 3 times with a gun he kept in his desk drawer. Two other hospital employees subdued Plotts after he was shot, and investigators say that Plotts had more than 30 additional rounds of ammunition and was prepared to kill more people.
Close but conjecture, not be a mass shooting per se.

Don't take the shouting and handwaving too much to heart- we're dealing with a version of these:

Respectfully, carrying a weapon is for self-defense, not strategic law enforcement...

That should be changed. No reason to coddle terrorists on university campuses.
