I hope the CC community is well.
And I hope we can someday not see such headlines regularly.
More campus shootings. So tragic.

UVA has had several shootings just off campus over the last couple of years.
U Idaho also in the headlines, with four student deaths in off campus housing yesterday (not many details, police calling the deaths homicide).

Thankful to hear that the suspect is in custody. My nephew, a current student, lives just down the street from the scene.

I just saw photos of the victims - all former teammates. It breaks my heart - all just young, smiling men with so much life ahead. Ended for what?
This is so upsetting. One of my kids went to UVA and we were season ticket holders for a couple of years. I just saw the press conference on ESPN. The shooter was a one semester walk-on in 2018. The coach was wonderful in describing the personalities of the three players that were killed. Coaches were emotional from other teams. UVA had just played Pitt(my alma mater) the day before the shooting and their coach was very shaken. So tragic . Losing three of your teammates at once is heartbreaking. My sons both played lots of team sports and can’t even imagine this.
I’ve been reading about this killer’s disturbing history - hazing, gun violations, not cooperating with an investigation that started in September etc and it is outrageous. There is no reason this individual should have been on that bus as a member of anything. Honestly, I get you can’t infringe on someone’s rights, but this is ridiculous .
