    Indeed, apparently Texans are not praying hard enough,

    It is hard to believe that when your governor states that you need to chant to invisible beings in the sky to prevent gun violence, it would continue.

    Perry said: "As a free people, let us choose what kind of people we will be. Laws, the only redoubt of secularism, will not suffice. Let us all return to our places of worship and pray for help. Above all, let us pray for our children."

    Aren't such things not supposed to happen since there are so many guns in Texas?

    Conflicting reports but it appears it was a good old fashioned gun fight between two shooters. Just another day in the wild, wild, west.

    I do find is absolutely amazing that sans a single fact, the knee jerk reaction is to blame political affiliation, namely in a wholly partisan manner.

    Without any facts. I mean, should we not wait until there is at least the slightest indication of whom these people are?

    Looks like 2 shooters exchanged fire. One shooter was captured, the other escaped.

    Only Victims so far were 3 bystanders wounded and another 1 suffered a heart attack.

    So much for the myth of safety in "gun zones".

    Gang violence in a Gun Free Zone? Don't the liberals know Gun Free Zones don't work, they should be Bullet Free Zones!

    If one were a conspiracy theorist one would question all these shooters popping up out of nowhere now that the same dudes who brought us Fast and the Furious want to push a gun control agenda on us. Too bad Operation Northwoods was a myth...it was, right?

    Yes. . .you would think so, from reasonable people that is!

    And what is even stranger, is that the posters here who are bringing in "political affiliations" are automatically assuming that it has to be "liberal students," when, obviously, gun owners (and in Texas) have a much greater chance to fit the profile of Conservative than Liberals!

    Very silly.

    But what is interesting is that we can now observe very clearly the encounter between "two people with guns" having an argument. . . Did those guns "help" them in resolving the argument with no one getting hurt?

    NOPE! In fact, not only did one of the shooter get hurt. . .it appears that (as I assumed many time would happen) the fact that there were TWO shooters trying to hit each others got other people caught in the cross fire. . .and therefore there were even MORE victims!

    This incident will be soon forgotten but I'd be willing to bet that the shooters have a criminal record and were not legal firearms owners.

    Most of the gangbangers who are shooting up our streets are not law abiding citizens in any sense of the word.

    Gun free zones in Texas??? I highly doubt it.

    Probably some hell bent conservatives who've gone off the deep end over the possibility of losing their precious handguns and now want to attempt to trigger a revolution over it.

    Probably not.

    More likely it is a couple of sons of Obama finalizing an illegal drug deal.

    I guess only time will tell!

    However, If I had to assume what the setting was, I would say it was just two regular students, both with a permit to carry (although that was a "gun free zone,") who has an argument. Nothing more, nothing less. . .but as usual where guns are involved, people got really hurt, when, if there had NOT been guns involved, they would have ended up with maybe a black eye and a bloody nose!

    But it's funny how you feel the need to immediately assume that those were "illegal guns" and "gangbangers!"

    I bet that the only reason those guns were "illegals" was because of the "gun free zone" stipulations!
