4 shooters? Very unusual.

Obviously a co-ordinated attack of some sort.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

CNN is reporting that 2 shooters are 'down' and there are multiple deaths.

Also heard the possibility that there was some shooting in a cafeteria, the shooters being above the workers and firing down on them.

Unless it turns out thath the shooters are American citizens...

Happening on the other side of town, but still scary. Very sad.

The NRA can say what they like and I'm sure they'll point to the yard being a gun free zone......all the while ignoring the armed guards everywhere on the site.

[Shaggin Wagon]

6 killed

This is crazy. I wonder if it has to do with the al queda video sent out on 9/11 asking to continue attacks on the US.

[Ozy_Flame]

Anyone ballsy enough to attack a military installation, especially with multiple shooters, sounds more and more like a motivated attack and not something at random. The next 24 hours are critical to getting the facts.

[Minnie]

CNN (blargh, hate them but they're all I have) says that some special ATF team that was a part of the Boston bombing situation, has been brought in to help.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

CNN is saying at least 12 dead. Brutal.

It seems like it would be very hard, or impossible to get a gun into a building like this unless you have a position that allows you to bring one in.

I would like to slap this man in the face with the Canadian flag. This is the kind of misinformation and ignorance that is a blight on the American people. How can they understand that change needs to be made if any system other than theirs is spouted as "Tyranny"?

F***ing ######ed.

I'd normally agree, but cops/guards were among the victims, so it's possible that they shot their way into the building.

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic.

Didn't realize haha. I have no idea who that guy is, but it goes to show:

A) Sarcasm in text is a bad idea
B) There's enough of these whackos flying around down there that I felt it safe to assume he was one of them. That in itself is an issue.
