3. The report linked to this, if true, is much different than other school shootings.

Someone being beaten up (enough to put him in the hospital) gets a gun to defend himself from his attackers and shoots one of them (also now in the hospital).

Initially sounds to me like self defense.

But to the point of the number of other "traditional" school and mall shootings this year... it's insane. Even the last sentence where I used "traditional" to describe columbine style school shootings is really sickening, but maybe appropriate now.

The shooter "retreated to his car where he grabbed a gun." He should have kept retreating. Gidney N Cloyd Jan 2014 #9

.. as he was being beaten? X_Digger Jan 2014 #10

You're right-- I forgot this was Florida. He probably had it cocked and sitting on the dashboard. Gidney N Cloyd Jan 2014 #11

Of course.. if it can be used in self-defense, it obviously wasn't secure enough, right? ;) n/t X_Digger Jan 2014 #17
