There's been a shooting relatively near my area (40 minutes away - but my mother's boyfriend works there - right near where this is taking place actually - and my friend goes to college there). At least twelve people are dead according to the television. confused

The news report on Yahoo's front page isn't saying it's that bad though:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090403/ap_on_re_us/hostage_shooting

I'm not sure what the full details are yet or what's accurate - the local news broadcast says "There have been reports of at least 40 hostages and at least a dozen casualties" so I assume no one knows for sure yet.

Near where that's going on? It seems like it was pretty specific to the one building though at least...
Granted, any casualties aren't good things, but I mean in the sense that it's not widespread.

Where does she live? I think it's just parts of downtown that are being affected, right? But I don't have the best directional sense of Binghamton.
Fortunately most of my local family is in Oneonta, but a few friends go to school in Binghamton and such, like Christina.

Haha, just called her to confirm she's okay.

[edit] She just told me, that there's a few dead and more than 40 hostages. She works at BU and I was really worried she may have gotten caught at one point because she's been driving the long way to work (over front st. to vestal)

If I hadn't called her I probably would have had a nervous break down. cry

This is really disturbing. I mean I know it happens, but I've never had it happen so close to home in a city I go frequently confused

14 people dead, including the shooter.
The man apparently had just been laid off, but they don't know a sure motive.
He attacked a room of people taking a citizenship test.
26 at least were injured.

My friend that I was worried about was in the hospital on lockdown. She got out about an hour ago.

This is surreal to see the news reports and hear about Obama commenting. These sorts of things just don't happen here.

Soon enough, we're going to be seeing these sorts of things happen everywhere, sadly.

We've been fortunate enough that nothing like that has happened around here yet...but I'm pretty sure that it's only a matter of time before it does. And we'll likely see an increase in these kinds of things, due in part to the suck-a** economy.

My guess about the why he attacked who he did...if he was recently laid off...some people blame the loss of jobs on illegal immigrants taking the jobs away from US citizens. Granted, the victims were taking the naturalization test to become American citizens (all nice and legal), but since most illegal immigrants don't advertise that they're illegal, he took his anger out on people he knew weren't from this country originally. But this is just my theory, though.

Not that it makes his actions right or anything. Clearly the guy wasn't stable.
