Active shooter on campus at OSU, please refrain from jokes
Police cars, fire truck and ambulance line 19th and College avenues near location where active shooter was reported
November 28th, 2016 at 10:49 AM ^
1 thought = 1 dollar donated to the cause
1 prayer = 5 awarenesses of gun violence
November 28th, 2016 at 2:12 PM ^
But who will raise awareness for automobile and knife violence?
November 28th, 2016 at 10:57 AM ^
Is there an app to change my profile picture into the best trendy filter that represents a tragedy on the book of faces!?
I hate false sympathy. I fucking hate it.
November 28th, 2016 at 11:11 AM ^
Not that I know of, but whoever gets it out there will indubitably make a shitload of money.
November 28th, 2016 at 11:31 AM ^
Why is that getting downvoted? Maybe it's a clichéd expression, but the sentiment is appropriate, no?
November 28th, 2016 at 11:37 AM ^
There was a deleted subthread in here with multiple replies where OP was being toxic.
November 28th, 2016 at 10:20 AM ^
I don't know what the current situation is, but if I were those people...I wouldn't be standing anywhere near an active shooter situation.
November 28th, 2016 at 10:21 AM ^
Hope nobody was/is hurt.
The officials were still dogshit.
November 28th, 2016 at 11:35 AM ^
Eight injured, one critical. Shooter is dead.
November 28th, 2016 at 10:23 AM ^
Prayers for the safety of all involved
November 28th, 2016 at 10:27 AM ^
This kind of shit needs to stop.
November 28th, 2016 at 10:28 AM ^
COLUMBUS,OH - U/D - 1 SUSPECT DOWN - 2ND SUSPECT STILL OUTSTANDING - NEAR PARKING GARAGE #BREAKING
November 28th, 2016 at 10:30 AM ^

Good luck, shoot the shooter sbefore they take out kids just trying to better themselves. No place for this crap anywhere.
November 28th, 2016 at 10:39 AM ^
When you shoot (or attempt to shoot) an innocent person, you forfeit your right to exist.
I wish these angry fucks would just take it out on themselves.
November 28th, 2016 at 10:37 AM ^
I'm so sick of this shit. Hope everyone is ok and any perpetrators get wrecked.
November 28th, 2016 at 10:37 AM ^
Gunmen, plural?
November 28th, 2016 at 10:39 AM ^
And allegedly, one is down (dead?) already.
November 28th, 2016 at 10:39 AM ^
7 people shot one dead other shooter is hiding in a parking garage.
November 28th, 2016 at 10:40 AM ^
This could be very serious. Watching the news now, many ambulances there. They are saying at least 7 shot.
As previously mentioned, too many of these incident happening now.
November 28th, 2016 at 10:40 AM ^
These are something else. OSU's Emergency Line tweeted out instructions to "run hide fight" (in that order) which is I guess the standard instruction for this kind of thing but still uncomfortably real.
Unconfirmed hearsay on r/cfb is that one or two people hit students with a car, then got out with a knife. but it's way too early to say anything definitely.
November 28th, 2016 at 12:25 PM ^
I texted a friend at OSU, he said he saw this exact thing happen. Saw three people hit with a butcher knife. Terrifying

Just awful.
Prayers to all those in the area and their families.
November 28th, 2016 at 10:43 AM ^
This sucks bad. Thoughts and prayers
November 28th, 2016 at 10:48 AM ^
for everyone on OSU campus.
November 28th, 2016 at 10:49 AM ^
UPDATE: 9 people transported from OSU to area hospitals; 8 stabilized, 1 in critical condition, reports @10TV http://cbsn.ws/2fIM2Sf

Death penalty for the perp and make it a fast trial
November 28th, 2016 at 11:07 AM ^
Not a criminal vengeance system.
Also, given the choice between being locked in a box for the next 40 years and death, I'd take death every time. Life in prison would be way worse.
November 28th, 2016 at 11:31 AM ^
Also a lot more costly to taxpayers. We don't have unlimited resources unfortunately. This guy will never be rehabilitated. Just one argument amongst many for either stance.

but doesn't solve anything. If someone is schizophrenic or completely out of their mind, the death penalty does not work as a deterrent to future shootings.
Locking someone like this up in a mental facility to understand how that mind works, how to medicate such people, how to limit their access to guns, etc is probably the most pragmatic approach.
November 28th, 2016 at 11:42 AM ^
Half the country disagrees with you.
Isn't that a nice thought :)
November 28th, 2016 at 10:50 AM ^
9 hospitalized one critical per local news
November 28th, 2016 at 10:50 AM ^
My sister-in-law lost her best friend in the Virginia Tech shooting. I've seen the pain this can cause so I hope and pray that no one gets hurt.
November 28th, 2016 at 10:53 AM ^
Doesn't look good, campus still on lock down and shooter at large...
November 28th, 2016 at 10:54 AM ^
I just feel ill. WTF people? This shit is getting too common place.
November 28th, 2016 at 10:55 AM ^
Why did the OP feel compelled to put a joke caveat in their thread? Very insulting to site users!
That being said thoughts and prayers for all involved at OSU ... this kind of shit is ridiculous
November 28th, 2016 at 10:59 AM ^
I wish it wasn't necessary, but just read down the comments. There are thoughtless assholes amongst us.

A stupid comment isn't indicative of the people who use this site and the community polices pretty good here
November 28th, 2016 at 11:07 AM ^
A stupid comment is indicative of the person commenting. Yes, the community polices itself well, but that does not mean people don't need a reminder to think before they post.

About that, a large chunk of those comments should hopefully be gone at least on the main site. I just removed the whole subthread even though individual remarks may or may not have been problematic - that's just how the interface works here.
I just don't want to see anyone say things they'll regret, especially in a thread reporting this sort of event.
November 28th, 2016 at 11:06 AM ^
Right, but you telling them not to make jokes isn't going to make them not make jokes. They're either going to or they aren't. Get off your high horse.
November 28th, 2016 at 11:15 AM ^
...or stop seeking out things to be offended by.
November 28th, 2016 at 12:49 PM ^
Sure, someone who really wants to post a "joke" will do so regardless. But, perhaps the "no joke" warning helps someone refrain from having a momentarily lapse of judgement.
