You are a fool if you truly believe the response to this incident was "overboard"! I wonder if you would have the same opinion if active gunfire was directed towards your home, with the offenders still in the area. Save your ignorant, uneducated comments concerning law enforcement and add something of worth to the community.

Brandon--It is with deepest sympathy we must inform you that the english language is not part of the school system's curriculum any more. I wonder what kind of dictionary will replace Webster.

Do you think concealed guns should be allowed on college campuses?

Yes - they should be allowed
Yes - but only with a permit
No - I don't want guns on campus
