Three shot in attack at US university

Three people with gunshot wounds were admitted to a Nashville hospital after the campus shooting.

THREE PEOPLE HAVE been shot at Tennessee State University in Nashville.

Tanya Stone, operations supervisor for the Metro Nashville emergency communication centre, said authorities had transported three people with gunshot wounds to a Nashville hospital after a shooting on campus.

She didn’t know if they were students and didn’t have any information on their condition.

She said police were “all over the scene” and that there was no indication of an active shooter.

The Tennessean reports police blocked off an entrance to the university and made non-students leave the campus.

A university spokesman didn’t immediately respond to messages seeking comment. University police dispatchers said they couldn’t release any information.

The incident comes just over a week after three people were wounded by gunfire at an off-campus party across the street from the college.

    Unfortunately, unless guns are controlled, the shootings will continue and the NRA and its loyal followers will continue to bleat that the universities, the schools, the hospitals, the churches, hell, entire world needs guns, more guns, guns for everybody.

    I dont know how parents cope with the worry of sending their kids to school everyday with all the shootings going on, nearly an everyday event! Hope the people who have been shot will be o..k.

    I think that they are in a lot of them already. That being said I don’t think they will stop someone going into a building anyway or shooting outside on the school grounds.

    That’s exactly what Obama wants.

    Military style armed security and the electronic tagging of students like cats and dogs.

    “all over the scene” = 13

    It’s crazy that I don’t even flinch at these stories anymore. I’ve become desensitized to US school shootings as much as I’ve become desensitized to bombs going off in the Middle East. It’s also funny how the two places are linked. School uniforms over there should have kevlar under the stitching.

    There’s possibly a radio show similar to the death and funeral notices announcing daily school shootings. It’s so common & yet nothing done about it, no changes. It’s absolutely nuts! Everyone that reckons they have a right to own a gun should see watch this & let it sink in http://youtu.be/1nAfWfF4TjM

    The tragic reality of US gun crime is that there will be more atrocities to come, inevitably and predictably.

    Some must die so that others can enjoy their guns. The love affair with guns costs many lives lost or maimed.
