Shots were fired Thursday on Virginia Tech's campus, the university announced on its website.

Another victim at Virginia Tech's gun free campus. Officer down~no armed defenders... Our prayers are with the victims and the unarmed students.

This is why I carry everywhere that there's no metal detector. You can call me a criminal or rambo but at least I'm safe

I don't mean to sound insensitive in this time of mourning, but hey Virginia Tech...how's that gun free zone working out for ya?

No crap. Lesson learned or no? Always, everywhere!!

 

[Bighouse Doc]

This can NOT happen!

This is a "Gun Free Zone"

-Doc

Wow - did anyone realize the first person shot here was a cop? you know, someone WHO CARRIES A GUN!?!

Hard to make any comment about gun-free zones with regard to this incident, unless it's to say that "See, even a highly trained police officer who carries a gun all the time couldn't get it out in time."

He probably wasn't expecting a gun in a gun free zone? Heck I dunno I don't have an excuse for him but going back to the previous shooting I'd rather be armed than hiding under a desk defenseless
