    Update from the latest briefing, per 9News:

    * Two students physically hurt, others suffered anxiety attacks.
    * One student remains in critical condition at Littleton Adventist Hospital.
    * Two devices, being described as Molotov cocktails, were found inside the school. One had been detonated by the suspect. The 2nd was found by law enforcement and rendered safe.
    * Preliminary investigation shows motive for shooting may have stemmed from controversy or disagreement between the shooter and a teacher. Sheriff Grayson Robinson used the word "revenge."
    * Arapahoe High School will be closed on Monday. Schedule beyond that has not been determined.

    just as long as we recognize that guns had nothing to do with this, or Newtown, or Aurora or Tuscon.

    I'm sure this will masterbation material for Wayne LaPierre and Ted Cruz for weeks

    WHo cares what personal troubles this loser had.
    Life is hard - often very hard.
    It's supposed to be.

    My old boss' daughter is fine. She was in the building, but not near the shooter, who she did not know. Terrifying time for her parents until they heard she was safe.

    I do agree. There is always going to push-back when some groups call for reforms or changes to the norm. I accept that.

    Right now, the gun lobby is one of the most powerful out there. Someday the tide will turn. I don't know when or what will be the tipping point. Every major political change in history came about over time, not overnight. It's good we're at least having the conversation.
