just talked to my buddy on campus and he is not a guy that gets easily scared and he is pretty shaken.

See my post above. Basically says the same thing. Obviously she's with other LEO but the last thing I'd want is a bunch of people walking around campus in civilian clothes with guns out at this point.

Or leaving if you got the all clear. I know I'd be headed home for a little bourbon therapy.

She's probably the best shot of the group pictured too. Looks like one of our jackets.
Surprisingly, I completely agree with you. If I saw the jacket I would definitely assume she's part of the PD. I don't understand the complaints about that- of all things.

I posted on the O-T Lounge of what I heard.
Talked to my father in law and he was at hunter henry center when it happened and the place was locked down. Several places near campus were/are locked down also.

Social media. 20 years ago you would never have known about 99% of the things that happen everyday in this country.
I am going farther back.
Vietnam War
That is when TV news broke the barrier of showing the dead and dying at dinnertime. Social media has just accelerated it by allowing a nobody to be an attention whore if they just pop a few folks in the process.

Thanks for info; sorry for State students, faculty and theirfamilies for having to undergo scary ordeal. So glad it didn't result in deaths.
Gonna be a lot of drunk folks at State this afternoon. Nothing like having four shots of whisky in the AM on empty stomach, but who can blame them.

20 years ago movie theaters and elementary schools were not getting shot up. Social media or not.
Yes they were.
The worst school massacre in American history happened in 1927. It involved a single actor using explosives and firearms. He killed 44 and injured 58 more at a school in Bath, Michigan.
Ever hear of Paul Orgeron? He blew up an elementary school in Houston, TX in 1959.
How about Anthony Barbaro, who shot 17 at his high school in 1974.
What about Brenda Spencer? She shot 11 people at a San Diego elementary school in 1979.
Charles Whitman shot 47 people at Texas in 1966.
These are just a handful involving large numbers of victims but there are tons more school shootings that involved only a victim or two.
Here's a pretty good overview of the history of school violence on an education website. You'll note they point out that shootings peaked in the late 1990s - or in other words they were at their highest about 20 years ago.
Examples outside of schools are even more common.
Luby's resturant is the worst rampage killing in US history. That happened in 1991. I'm friends with an EMT that responded to this one.
This guy went on a walk through his neighborhood in 1949 and shot 16.
Of the 10 deadliest rampage killings in US history, 7 happened over 20 years ago.
FEELINGS fueled by the availability of instant information are telling you things are terrible. FACTS are saying something entirely different.
