I sit & shake my head in dismay. I am horribly saddened to hear of this.

21 killed and another 20 injured is what they are now reporting. Guy committed suicide by cop, apparently.

The number killed is up to 31 now according to USAToday.
The police are not sure whether he was shot by officers or took his own life.

All those people that never got a chance to "live" and experience being an adult, growing up, or even having a family. You only get one shot at this, it's mind blowing that that many people won't get a chance to experience it thanks to one asshole that missed his meds.

Just plain awful.....It's hard to believe why someone would do something like that.. I guess there's always the possibility they were just plain crazy... It's horrible how many people died for no reason..  |

Two buildings on UTK's campus were evacuated this afternoon because of a bomb threat as well.
This week is the anniversary of Columbine, the Oklahoma City bombing and Waco...makes me worried about more copycat sickos.
