Gonna give this an afternoon bump with a few more links with additional info. 1 person in custody and 1 person killed. Very sad.

Scary stuff. I spent many of my college hours in the EE and ME buildings.

Such events are going to happen if we keep the social status-quo. We've collectively decided that the risk of shootings isn't enough to ban STEM education.

Seriously though I wonder if this is related or two different places

Very scary stuff. I've a few friends in engineering there. The reports don't say if anyone was injured

Looks like two different places. I'm actually not familiar with that building. I'm pretty sure it was built after I graduated, but it's definitely not a part of the engineering mall. It could be part of the new Mackey Arena /sports complex area.

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics increases the chances of school shootings? I assume that wasn't what you meant. I think you need to educate me a bit here.

Number one reason why I'm no longer going to college in-person. This shit has to stop.

my girlfriends brother was in the room where it happened. Just checked in on him, his best friend and his roommate were in there too, all ok, just rattled
thanks to OPPO for showing me the news too quicker than anywhere else. I got her to check on him right quick

Very glad to hear they're all okay.
Yep, OPPO seems to travel faster than the speed of light at times...when Kinja allows it. :)

God.
Has anyone heard about injuries/deaths? They only say they have a person in custody everywhere I check.
We may mock the other BigTen Schools in Sports, but there is a comradery between every BigTen School and I hope everyone comes out of this ok.
(not that I wouldn't feel this way about any school!)

I haven't seen anything yet other than the two students "saw someone who possibly had blood on his or her hands" remark from the first link.

Sadly, it's not just colleges. It's happening everywhere and will continue to do so until something is done to curb unnecessary gun violence.
That being said, I spent 5 years at Purdue and never for a moment felt unsafe or in danger.

That pic is just outside Mackey headed north on Northwestern. The EE building is further down Northwestern about a 1/2 mile.

Is it me or the US media gives a lot more airtime to this type of shit than elsewhere?

Well, the US has a lot more shootings than a lot of other countries, so there is more to report.
But, yes, the US media will do anything for viewership. They are the whores of the world media establishment.

Mexico, Brazil, etc.?
I'll admit that the US is a considerably more violent country than most of the West but if you take in consideration the size and population it becomes less unreal.

I heard they just resumed classes, just hours after someone was shot in a lecture hall. Thats a little ridiculous.

Yeah, I get wanting to get things back to normal, but classes should have been cancelled for the rest of the day. Seems ridiculous to me too.

'Twas a joke good sir. In poor taste, perhaps, but a joke none the less.

In no way is it sad that I heard about this on oppo before I heard of it from my parents who work on campus and from teachers at school.
