Suspect appears to be in custody.

It's like I'm not even shocked to hear about these things anymore.

Remember when Columbine was shocking?

Since I am not from the US and don't know anything about your gun laws but how easy or hard is it too aquire firearms?

^^^You don't even need a license many times. Use craigslist or head to some good/trailer park for some.

It's very easy.

Or just let you co-workers know you want one. Some one is always looking to get rid of one or two.

Everyone will immediately start talking about guns other than the root causes of this. Like it'd somehow be fine to disarm people who obey the law because of these events and preferable for nuts with bombs and knives to run around committing mass murder instead. That's pretty much exactly what the elites who want to take guns away from the common man want, thus it's the narrative that's pushed by the media.

It's never "what should we do about crazy people?" it's "how can we take guns away from the rubes who didn't do this?"

The few protections still provided by the 1st and 2nd amendments are not long for this world, so enjoy 'em while you can, fellas.

Random people are used as proxies to export firearms into Mexico from the U.S. to fuel the drug cartel wars. This has been going on for 20 years at least and it's only recently been "discovered" as being a problem with the fast and furious debacle.

In otherwords, it's very easy to get a firearm.

While freedom of speech is important, I am in favor of a publication ban on the perpetrator of any spree shooting in the interest of public safety. It would be no different than a publication ban on a minor's identity in court cases. Cutting off the 15 seconds of fame will go a long way towards reducing these shootings.

I'm guessing its another crazy asperger's kid. Read somewhere he forewarned this yesterday on 4Chan, although that could be fake as well. As always, the US Media will spin this into a gun control rather than a mental health issue, which should be celebrated.

What a despicable asshole.
And what a surreal, awful way to go for the victims.
Just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Horrifying.

It's sad but I'm not surprised...and that's horrible to say.

Over under it's a medicated white dude from a middle income family ?

I'll bet I'll be 2 for 3 of those.

Well wishes to those wounded and the family of the dead, fucking shame.

School shootings are fucking horrible.

Genocides committed by governments are much worse.

Absolutely agreed. We do have an elephant in the room, mental health.

Everyone focuses on the gun and some of the trigger man, but then back to guns.

We just had an article about women celebrating being on meds, ironically.

Meds, Big Pharma, and mental health do need to be discussed.

Not fucking guns.

13 victims confirmed dead from Oregon Attorney General.

People always find it strange that I always carry a gun no matter where I go. When I went to Miami Dade College they had a "No Guns" policy and I still carried my 9mm glock ankle holstered and concealed. I have noticed every time I have a gun I never need it, so I always carry it so it will never be necessary to have it.

Some poor student, focused on his Organic Chemistry exam was killed today- he woke up this morning and never thought it would possibly be his day to die. That student never was or will be me, always carry men-Always!

Seems like the shooter announced the shooting on 4chan the day before:

another reason to never live in the United States. Average people having to walk around carrying guns just to feel safe, it's whole different world

I'm in no way trying to make light of this or be funny or anything, but the link in the O.P. needs NSFW or something. I wasn't ready to see two enormous women immediately after clicking on that link.

Lets see if he has a "manifesto" like that loser son of hunger games 1st AD.
