Three Dead After Shooting at Louisiana Technical College
A woman shot and killed two female students and then herself in classroom at Louisiana Technical College, a vocational school in Baton Rouge, the Associated Press reports. Around 20 students were in the second-floor room during the shooting, which occurred about 8:30 a.m. Friday.
"About 8:36 a.m., we began receiving multiple phone calls from inside Louisiana Technical College...multiple calls from cellphones, saying shots were being fired, people had been shot."
Police were there within four minutes and ran into the building. "There was mass pandemonium, people running. One officer—the first into the classroom—told me he could still smell gunpowder."
Students were instructed to stay in their classrooms for about two hours before being released, one student said.
There are no details on the women’s names or ages or what course was being taught at the time.
The school has provided on-site counselors and cancelled class for the remainder of the day.

Whatever the females deal was...it was no reason to take the life of 2 others. No matter how many times I've thought about offing myself, you just gotta sit back, think, and breathe. Then you'll come to realize nothing can be that bad or that serious to take your own life much less other peoples just because of the way you feel at the moment. My heart goes out to anyone who has ever lost someone.

Why did this forum get turned into a 2nd amendment debate?
Ive found one pro gun control post and it is obviously spam for a blog.
red herring
