UT Austin Shooter

Posted by Kenon on Sept. 28, 2010, 4:50 p.m.

Around 8:30 cst, a person dressed in all black, armed with an AK-47 entered Perry-Castaneda library. He went to the 6th floor and shot himself. His name was Colton, and he was a Mathematics major.

At 8:30, guess what I was doing.

Go on, guess.

I was in my room getting ready for class. I had just watched some youtube video and I was getting dressed, ready for my 9:00 class (actually, I just remembered, it's actually a 9:30 class!).

The siren was loud, so I was like "EH", and just went to the elevator at 8:45 and then I found out I was locked inside.

For 4 hours.

WITH THE INTERNET.

NO class today. No one was injured by bullets, only one person died, the "gunman", who just killed himself.

With an ak47 might I add.

So, 4 hours of no lectures and monopoly on the internet.

Pretty successful day.

He did it because he wasn't thinking straight.

When in doubt, Texas breaks out FUCKING TANKS.

It was a swat tank, although I don't blame them one bit because at the time they suspected a second shooter.

From what I read, he was normal guy. Then suddenly went crazy. Glad he didn't shoot anyone else.

Why the hell are people allowed to buy assault weapons in this country? They're illegal for hunting anyway, so what reason is there to sell them?
