Fatal Shooting Reported At Northern Arizona University

[mfcorey1]

A shooter opened fire on Friday at Northern Arizona University's Flagstaff campus, the school announced on Twitter. The university said that one person was killed and three people were injured in the attack.

A university spokesperson confirmed the news to ABC.

The shooting took place near the Mountain View Hall, a building that houses the university's fraternities and sororities.

The suspect was in custody early Friday, the university said.

1. Here we go again n/t

4. I'm told that we just need to shut up

and accept the death toll because people don't like it when you pick on their guns.

We're just supposed to celebrate that people still have their beloved guns.

I'm thinking I need a break from DU, since the gun fetishists appear to have taken the place over.

5. Don't take a break and don't shut up

They never do - keep on fighting.

[Bettie]

6. Today, I'm just sick at heart

over the number of people who really, honestly seem to believe that any number of deaths is A-OK because their guns are more important than human lives.

It makes me sick at heart.

And I tend not to give up (as my beloved husband just reminded me)...I'll fight to the end for something I really believe in and I believe that people are more important than any things, including guns.

It's just nice to see a few others around who keep up the fight, because there are SO many fetishists around right now.

13. Do not take a break

Don't let the ammosexuals win. Their time is waning and they know it.

2. One dead and three injured

might not make the local news, if it happens in Baltimore, Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis, or Detroit.

[ohheckyeah]

3. One death is not

dramatic enough for CNN to spend any time on. They just mentioned it for about 30 seconds, if that.

7. FREEDUMB!!

8. Waiting ....

I'll wait for the real scoop on it. Happened at around 1:30 AM in a parking lot. That is a gun-free large campus and till they determine it was an attempt at a mass shooting and not some gang bangers, bad drug deal, drunks fighting after bars closed, i'll reserve judgment on it as a 'school shooting'. As already mentioned, this would be a non event, business as usual if it was in Chicago or Baltimore.

11. The news identifies an 18-yr old freshmen and you've identified someone who graduated

I recommend deleting this so as not to send angry DUers to the wrong person's profile.

We do this a lot on DU (internet sleuthing of identities on breaking news events) and we often get it wrong.

14. The suspect is 18.

12. Sad for the folks at my alma mater.

15. This is my neck of the woods,

although we don't live in Flagstaff proper, but still.....................
Condolences to the victims.

16. I have dreams of returning there to live. Flag is a special place.

A lot of Northern Arizona and the different people who live there are wonderfully unique.

17. Yes we are.

If you ever get back to Flagstaff, look us up, we'd be glad to have you and your family over for a BBQ.

18. Our family stayed in Flagstaff a couple days back in 1980 when Dad & Mom took us on

a vacation to the Southwest and California. Thought the area was really nice.
