1. Shooter is a former football player

He targeted his former teammates.

11. Why do they put his height in the story? "At 5'9" seriously??

Probably because he is/was a football player?

[BlackSkimmer]

12. Because they're looking for him?

Isn’t that a descriptor?

2. So I guess their Republican governor is just soft on crime

This morning, Suzanne and I are praying for the UVA community. Virginia State Police is fully coordinating with UVA police department and local authorities. Please shelter in place while the authorities work to locate the suspect.

3. Oh Well

[Ray Bruns]

4. Does anyone have any information on the gun? Is it okay?

Do we need to send NRA counselors to help the gun?

[Yonnie3]

7. I heard on the scanner that firearm was found

They are running its serial number. It will get help once it is identified.

[Ray Bruns]

9. Oh thank goodness

10. A firearm. How often do they have just one? Almost never.

Not in this fucked up gun humporium we call a country.

18. I'm worried that the gun's 2A rights are going to be be impeded now.

Free the gun!

[BlackSkimmer]

20. Yes, this is really a joking matter.

[Sky Jewels]

21. If you can't see that it's bitter sarcasm and not a joke, then I don't even know what to say.

I was piling on the sarcastic "I hope the gun is okay" post. It's satiric commentary pointing out the disgusting and reprehensible priorities of many people in this country, who care nothing about the death and carnage caused by mass gun slaughters and shootings and are only concerned about their right to stockpile as many weapons as humanly possible. ... I can't believe I even have to explain this comment.
backatcha.

[Ray Bruns]

24. You have to add this

[Sky Jewels]

26. TBH, I didn't think it was necessary because the post I responded to already had it.

I guess you can never be too careful, though.

5. ...

8. another day in gun loving America. :( nt

13. Undoubtedly a dispute between individuals, not a "mass shooting" per se.

Why are so many young men carrying weapons and using them to settle silly disputes?

[Demsrule86]

14. No, it is a mass shooting...multiple people are injured and three are dead.

[BlackSkimmer]

16. If you want to call it that, knock yourself out.

But he shot at least one teammate. This was personal, and it doesn’t seem to have any randomness about it.

Sadly, this kind of thing is happening daily as young men resort to violence with those with whom they have some issue. This is a huge problem.

[Treefrog]

22. It certainly is not the type mass shooting that gets much attention here.

I can't imagine why.

[BlackSkimmer]

23. True dat.

Same as it ever was.

[sarisataka]

25. Even taken alive

Something we have been told is impossible

[Historic NY]

15. Specifics on the suspect n

[BlackSkimmer]

17. They've caught him,

Good.

[Demsrule86]

19. There is more to this story...heard the press conference...there was a hazing incident...

and the school was told he had a gun...doesn't sound like they followed up...he was off the football team for a year they said...something here doesn't add up.
