you guys play too many FPS's. the fact that you don't know wtf is going on notwithstanding, shooting a pistol from distance, amidst chaos, against a guy with a rifle...good luck with that.

i know you guys are all crack shots though so it shouldn't be a problem.

Nope.

Some people have moral obligations, but that's it.

Some people are actually trained to use the weapon they are carrying, and continue that training daily/weekly.

I never knew someone else killed him. I thought he just committed suicide or something like most teenage killers.

I'd use Knockdown followed by Power Attack with my +3 Dwarven Waraxe of Firey Burst.

Yep. I shoot nearly every day, at my house. One of the benefits of living in the country - having my own rifle and pistol range.

I guess a person that was there at the time shot some video while it was all going down, and its going to be on the new in 5 or so minutes.

I really dont know what I would do. If I didnt have a weapon of my own, I definitely would not have attacked though.

Wow, saw the video. Very sad. Talked about some of the victims. One that stuck out was one that was buying a wedding ring with her husband. Husband left while she walked around the mall, next thing the guy knows, hes getting a call that shes dead.

Shooter was an immigrant. Bosnian, I believe. Was also Muslim.
