Another Campus Shooting

A student-gunman opened fire with an AK-47 rifle this morning at The University of Texas.  Fortunately, before he was able to injure anyone, 19 year old Colton Tooley shot and killed himself.   It is the same Campus that suffered the first infamous campus shooting in 1966.  In 1966 another crazy U of T student shot and killed a dozen people from the campus clock tower.  Needless to say, I'd bet that the U of Texas Campus has been one of the most prepared campuses across the country.  Perhaps, lessons learned from the horrific incident in 1966 were applied today and helped to save lives.

This story is particularly interesting since there is a college campus within my jurisdiction.  Moreover, off the top of my head, I can name 25 college campuses within a 30 minute drive.
