This is a bit overdue but oh well. There was a rather large shooing on campus here Saturday night. I was already asleep and I'm pretty much impervious to sirens now, so I didn't hear. But had I been awake, I definitely would have heard since it was all of, like, 500 feet away. Boo, living in the ghetto.
Luckily, today they arrested one of the guys that did the shooting. (There were two.) And a warrant is out for the other. Apparently, one of them got jealous that his girlfriend was "being friendly" with one of the basketball players. Now obviously, a hail of gunfire is the solution there. Minus the one that got shot in the head who is still in critical condition, the other 4 are doing fine.
I can't say that I'm reacting like lots of other people though. Aka: OMG, WE'RE ALL GOING TO GET SHOT AND DIE AT ANYTIME NOW! No, no. If it were completely random guy from off the street just decided to walk down A-Walk at noon on Tuesday and spray the campus with bullets, then I'd be peeing my pants. But these guys were at a big dance in the Union because one of their girlfriends must go here and they shot for a very specific...albeit ridiculous...reason. So calm down, people. The stupid girls in really pointy high-heeled shoes have a better chance of tripping in one of the missing brick holes on A-Walk, falling and breaking their necks than about 99% of the campus has at getting shot.
