Sad news, and very close to home for some of the SETI staff.

Hope this is an appropriate forum for this.

Hope everyone and their families are okay. A speedy recovery to the victims who are alive, RIP to the others. As to the perp, may he fry slowly forever.

100% Agreed.

My thoughts go out to the victims and families.

Unfortunately it sounds like business as usual, America.

From what I've read, the shooter was a former student at the school. Haven't heard whether he was a drop-out or dismissed, or what caused him to go 'round the bend.

Still, a sad day for all concerned.

God's Grace and Mercy on all of them, even the shooter.

Donald, I'd say it was a wretched day for the parents and loved-ones of
those killed in this shooting.

As for the "shooter", Blurf has the best solution for him. Given half the
chance I'm sure Blurf would willingly base him with boiling fat too.

He was dismissed a couple of weeks ago from what I understand. Several of his targets had apparently been tormenting him about his poor English skills, but his primary target was the administrator that dismissed him. Said administrator was not at work on the day of the shooting.
