Completely disagreed with this guy on just about everything - but this is horrific. 

Looks like his jugular vein pretty much took the hit - so unless there's some medics and a major haemorrhage pack knocking about, I don't like his chances. 

We live in a sick, fucked up world.

Now confirmed that he has been killed. Would be ironic in the extreme if this happens to be the event which finally gets the States to address gun crime.

If anything, it's going to do the opposite.

Chuck this in with that white lass getting stabbed on the bus the other day and it's gonna go off.

Leaders of the free world and world police this lot.

Society has lost its moral compass.

Some call it progressive and want division.

Sad times.

I used to think this..there might be one incident that finally unites America to act.

It didn't happen after Sandy Hook so never will.

Didn't happen after the assassination of the Hortman's earlier in the year either.

Killing folk isn't the way even if they were one of the most detestable media presences around

Never heard of this chap, but it seems he was very influential.

Politicians from this side of the pond offering their condolences, including those who will disagree with his beliefs.

The situation is still ongoing, no arrest made, and the shooter still at large, with sheltering students being told to contact police to get an escort away.

I’ve never fired a gun in my life.  Reports say he was shot from 200 yards away.  No idea of the significance of that. Could anyone with a firearm in the US do that, or does it suggest someone more trained/professional?

Plenty of yanks go to the range so it's certainly possible for it not to be a pro

Well if you watch any film the baddies often kill random good guys from much farther away however they can not hit the hero such as James Bond from much closer and with loads of them shooting at once. 
 

So it depends really.
