I swear it has to be something with the publicity.

You've got to be a little bit mentally unstable in the first place, but I think the fact that school shootings drive so much infamy for the shooters plays a role.

If you're depressed and/or deranged, and you want to make a statement or be remembered, it's become pretty clear that going after a school will get your name in lights.

I sometimes wonder if we should go to a policy like TV does with fans that run on the field during a game. When that happens, cameras never show the person on the field, because they want to discourage future fans from doing it for the 5 minutes of fame. It makes me wonder if there could be a way to try to limit the fame that comes from something like this, in hopes that it discourages those that are deranged. Just a thought.

I hope everyone is OK at MSU and no serious injuries. This type of thing is scary.

The arrest looks remarkably peaceful



Interned with Atlanta PD in school and they were a lot rougher on minor things.

MSU just issued an "all clear". Classes are suspended until 2pm. Don't not attempt to leave classroom. Stay indoors. Do not attempt to go to your vehicle.

Big ups to the MSU PD for handling so quickly. Youngest sister was on campus locked in classroom. Cousin was let out of class to go back to dorm.

PER WCBI - MSU officials stress social media reports of additional danger NOT TRUE despite some statewide media reports All clear status on campus

So yeah, this seems to be the story:


1. Dude was suicidal and threatened to kill himself
2. Someone tried to stop him
3. He threatened to kill guy who tried to stop him
4. Maroon alert issued
5. Dude leaves carpenter, passes by lee, goes to mccool
6. Dude gets arrested
7. ******* starts running and screaming near union for kicks
8. mass exodus of campus


Could have been so much worse.

Son is in Carpenter. Didn't hear shots. They let him go and then made them go back inside. Fear of a second shooter.

Prayers from the Golden Eagle community. Hope the early reports of no shots fired, no injuries are true. I pray for healing. Even though there may be no injuries, this is still a traumatic event. It hurts that we have to endure this stuff as much as we do.

I wish I knew. I really wish I knew. People are just stupid. I'm getting so sick of these wack jobs that think shooting up a place or group of people will solve their own problems, and the fact that very little (if anything) can be done to stop them is even more frustrating. Seriously, how do you stop this cycle? Banning guns certainly won't do it. What's the solution? Is there one?

Identifying the nutjobs before they do something crazy. In every instance, there are always friends and relatives who saw indications of things goings bad, but they did nothing. Citizens have to be aware and get involved when the red flags start flying. It sickens me when someone shoots up a place, and a classmate later says, "Yeah, he talked about it, but I didn't think he was serious."

Anyone know if gunshots were actually fired? Seems to be a lot of mixed reports. MSU saying none. Other avenues are saying "moments after gunshots, suspect detained".

I wouldn't assume that. If another student reported he had a gun, then they would probably go ahead and issue the alert. I don't even think its fair to call him a "shooter" of no shots were fired, and really unfair if he didn't have a gun.

Reflector has confirmed there was no gun. Also, the "suspect" (I guess) is a Freshman from Madison.
