Latest news is the guy with the gun is in custody, motive for his behavior unknown and the lockdown is continuing (as of 3:53 p.m. CST).

I am speculating that motive involves Jack Damiels and an argument with the television set.

Maybe he was given one of these and thought it was a legit.

Which is 90% of the frigging problem. Our media is a bunch of sensationalizing idiots.

So what did he do to attract attention. Here in Orlando a well known dr was arrested because she said he tried to fondle her etc etc. even bailiff said he was her dr. His name is Hussain or something people are loosing it . I hope they find her lying . He never had any complaints . What this man do??

Apparently he was mentally ill and potentially suicidal

Whatever he did, whether he fired shots or not, it was a misguided and desperate cry for help.

Thank goodness some law enforcement officers got him to surrender , and let's hope he gets the care he needs.

Not some "violent revolutionary", just a man in a bad state of mind

Can you explain what you are trying to say here? I'm not following how it is related to this guy in Arkansas.

And did he make the ruts in that lawn? Because someone should be held accountable for those ruts!

So it really was an "inactive shooter" on campus.
