Apologies if this has already been posted, but a quick little search showed nothing. Apparently there has been another college/university shooting...

Not a big deal, I swtiched over to my browser and found the story. Just thought I would let you know in case there was an error in the link.

I haven't read/heard how many are wounded/casualties/etc. Just read a couple security guards / campus police at this point.

CNN is reporting "several wounded" but is reporting no fatalities.

Also it's unclear whether the shooting was actually tied to the school. It happened a block off of it's campus.

Rrrrrrrreeally? I did not know that. Interesting. Wonder if it truly was a "school shooting" then. Regardless, still terrible nonetheless.

3 dead, some others wounded. Seems it was about an eviction.

CNN update from approx 15 minutes ago here.....http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/13/justice/texas-am-shooting/index.html?hpt=us_c2

How many shootings happen in Chicago and other inner cities each day? Why does the media publicize some shootings and not others? Don't bother answering, I know the answer.

The U.S. averages 20 mass shootings a year.
