He probably wanted to shoot up the school and changed his mind at the last minute. Lucky you, tragic waste of life, but you can't deny how lucky some random students are right now.
Yeah I was talking in IRC with another guy at the uni while he was still in lockdown. Musta been one hell of a day for you.
First off, a suicide isn't a "shooting" (in the sense of the word you're implying by the title) so there wasn't anything to survive. Anyway, I find it more amazingly weird/stupid to shoot oneself with an AK. I mean aside from the fact that shooting yourself is stupid, doing so with an assault rifle makes little to no sense. Unless he was planning to shoot up the school initially so he pulled a Van Gogh?

Yeah, the US needs to fix their "everyone gets a gun" policy, they're behind Brazil in gun-related homicides in the global charts, that just means 2nd place.

And why did he kill himself with an AK-47? An assault rifle suicide isn't that normal and can impossibly be as "practical" as the one of a handgun.Demented Teddy said:
EDIT: Here? No bomb threats, gun threats or anything here, worst was when a techer killed himself and his ex when just driving away from school to do that.
They'll still blame it on video games even if the person in question didn't even game, I'm guessing.
I've never experienced anything similar. The only closest thing I can think of is after a performance, all the doors in the school were locked and the security cameras were flicking. I shouted, "THE ZOMBIES ARE COMING!" and everyone just laughed.
If anything like this happened to me, my luck is so bad I'll probably be the first one to die.

I see this more being about how easy it was for this guy to just get an AK-47 and walk straight into a school campus and then shoot himself. To which i ask really? how's that possible?
Something like this occurs in my school regularly but with bombs. Only once has the bomb actually done harm, most are either False alarms, or the person was an idiot and posted about their plans on Facebook or something.
An AK 47? wow thats pretty hardcore. Everyone seems to be making a big deal about that if its true. Maybe he isn't a gun expert, don't take it to heart.
I'm sorry to hear he killed himself but at least noone else was harmed.
Did you.... See it? I guess not though or I guess you would have said.

Not really. The only altercations I have had with guns was when they were pointed in my general direction ... which happened when I was out of the country of citizenry.
And in the end all they did was take 5000 pesos off me and butted me in the face with the rifle. by the time I regained my senses from the mild concussion and got over the dizzyness they were already gone.
The gun (looked like an old 30-06, but I don't know my firearms) was probably unloaded or completely non-functioning, but it's safer to just hand over your wallet rather than tempt fate I find.

I thought texans were given guns with every purchase of normal everyday goods, buy your weekly groceries, get a free gun...Broken Orange said:

So, no problems if he jumped off a building. Whole different story.Woodsey said:
You can't seriously believe inanimate objects in any way force people to do things. They can make it easier to kill many people in a run and gun situation, and yes those would not occur without weapons. So there have been roughly 30 total school shootings in the US in that sense. There have been roughly 35-40 other incidents which where specific murder suicides. These would have occurred anyway, with a different weapon.
Firearms where more readily available in the past and school shootings where pretty much unknown (the first in the US was in the 60s) Now it's very difficult for younger people to legally acquire firearms, and less per capita exist in the country, and you find more school shootings.
It's a culture thing, when tons of causes, to single out one such as firearms existing is as foolish and idiotic as video games being blamed for every crime under the sun.
