Swedish media now reports a minimum of 15 dead.

My wife is from Springfield, and went to Thurston High...and Kip Kinkel shot his parents and then went to school and killed two others and wounded like 20 more...this would have been in 97 I think.
(Speaking of close to home, for you.)
I was 7 when that happened, I was just a little too young to fully comprehend that one.. still tragic. I coached girls basketball there one winter, and there's a lot of chain link gates and such. Its eerie, at times..
We live in a very fucked up, violent and disturbed society.
You know, I think it's time the colleges hire an ex military or some type of trained armed guard to sit in a bomb proof and air conditioned box in each lecture hall/library/common hall. Then you'd think they could quickly intervene and save some lives.
I know....not feasible. But if I pay a $400 athletic fee per semester. I'd be more than happy to pay a $400 civil protection fee.

Sucks we have to live in a world where evil can affect us anywhere.
What morals?
-Strong familys with a mother and a father in the home (more than anything)
-Personal Responsibility
-Hard work
-Greed
-Selfishness
-Honesty
As our society continues to put less and less of a priority on those things, we will continue to see things like this happen more and more.
This girl they interviewed was in the class next door,they turned off the lights and hoped the weren't next.
But its definitely an issue.
