Another Gun Massacre In America, Lone Star College Texas by Nobody: 9:22pm On Jan 22, 2013
At least two students were shot at Lone Star College in Texas on Tuesday.

According to Jed Young, a spokesman for the school, the shooting "involving two individuals" took place shortly before 12:30 p.m. local time. Two students were shot in the crossfire, the spokesman said, and at least one of the suspected shooters was shot and taken into custody. The extent of their injuries were not known. A second shooter fled the campus, the spokesman said.

It's unclear if the shooters were students at the school.

An alert posted on the school's website shortly before 2 p.m. ET warned students to take shelter.

"LSC-North Harris is locked down," the alert read. "Students, faculty and staff are advised to take immediate shelter where you are. Do not enter the campus until notified further."

Aerial footage showed SWAT team members evacuating students several buildings on the campus in North Harris County near Houston as police searched a wooded area on campus.

In interviews with local media outlets, students described a chaotic scene. A female student told KTRK-TV heard five shots fired in an area between the library and the cafeteria. Other students say they heard gunshots when they were in cafeteria.

The Lone Star College System has a total enrollment of more than 90,000 students across six campuses, according to its website.

While I do not seek to dispute that every single person's life is intrinsic, it is far from apt, to call the killing of two people, a massacre.

Still following the live coverage on KHOU I think they've apprehended the shooter. Waiting for news conference at 4pm 30mins from now. This is sad and scary.

Good news is, no life threatening injury

gun violence is no more news in the US cheesy

another reason why Obama MUST find ways to use executive order to mitigate this growing social cancer. since the NRA'a puppets in congress don't understand what this means.

until someone related to a republican in congress is fatally shot, they wont listen to common sense. before y'all statr crucifying me, i have some evidence to give ya. we saw the hurricane sandy last year, how it damaged the north east. yet the rupublicans were unwilling to vote for aid to these places . . EXCEPT the north-east republicans. not bc north-east republicans are good people, but bc now it affected their neighbourhoods and constituencies. we saw paul ryan vote for aid when winsconsisn needed aid, southern republicans had no problem voting for aid when the south was hit, etc but when it's someone else's case they all remember deficit. grin

same politics with gun control, they will never support it until it affects them personally
