Possible Mass Murder Ongoing At Michigan State University

Apparently, a shooting incident has taken place at a dorm at Michigan State University and is ongoing with the shooter(s) still at large.

Current reports will no doubt be revealed to be completely and absolutely wrong. 

Some reports had 2-3 to as many as 7 shooters (which would imply some very problematic coordination and make it a whole different matter), but per most recent reports, which could be wrong too, it seems it is a single a-hole. 

My bet is single a-hole in question will likely have a marked and extensive mental health history with a likelihood towards harm that no one did bugger-all about.

Of course, the whole incident is un-possible as a University Dormitory is a gun-free zone in Michigan, right?

Oh, wait, You're telling me that criminals don't obey these laws?  Surprise.

But, as a result of these laws, there's plenty of unarmed students - including quite a few I know personally who so far thankfully report they are safe but hiding in their dorm rooms or elsewhere - who are now cowering in place without any effective defensive tools.  

Nice victim disarmament zone you got there, be a pity if some a-hole bent on mayhem wandered into it. Yeah, the a-hole just did.

And of course, this takes place in East Lansing, just as the Democrats are on a gun-control push here in Michigan right next door in our state capital, Lansing. I'm not saying its some conspiracy, as the Democrats are always pushing gun control here whenever they can and thus this is not a surprise.  But, now that they have all three branches of government -  expect some bad laws to get rushed through before any calm consideration can take place.

Update 11:22 pm: Police have announced they are still searching for the suspect, described as a "Black male, short in stature, wearing red shoes, a gym jacket and a ball cap.": WXYZ.Com: LIVE COVERAGE: Police say at least 5 shot on Michigan State University campus

Again, I expect details will remain garbled for some time, probably get more accurate reports tomorrow.  Hopefully the a-hole gets caught.
