    Deadly shooting at US university

    At least 31 people have been killed and 10 injured after a gunman went on
    the rampage at the campus of Virginia Tech university in Virginia, US.

    Police say there were two separate shooting incidents - at West Ambler
    Johnston Hall, a student dormitory, and Norris Hall, an engineering
    building.

    The incidents were about two hours apart. Police say they believe there was
    one gunman and that he is dead.

    It is the deadliest shooting at a US educational facility.

    The state university in the town of Blacksburg is home to 26,000 students.

    I don't care, I didn't know any of them. Besides, they were yanks. If
    you allow the general public to carry guns, you can expect people to go
    round shooting others. So one of them went mad and killed people, deal
    with it.

    Looks like the daily score's only about 21 in Iraq:

    So you're ahead of the game for once.

    Well done.

    People are odd creatures and they do odd things. If you give odd
    people (or Americans) the means to kill lots of people very quickly
    with boom boom guns then one day someone is going to do it.

  10. Yes, we know how to read/watch/listen to the news.

    Just reposting is pointless, at least give your own opinion, or pose a
    question for debate.

    Sniper rifle, automatic weapons, or shotgun?

    What is the weapon of choice for a mentalist on a killing spree?

    I posted the story with no comment to elicit reaction from you Brits, and
    it's just what I expected. Instead of a single word of sorrow over the
    deaths of 31 innocent university students, you used the tragedy to make a
    point about gun control, and of course they were only Yanks. You're a cold
    and self-righteous lot.
