    This is all over the news here. Saw it on CNN and Faux News as well.

    No reports of any injuries yet, but a friend of mine said she's locked in the dorm where the shooting supposedly happened.

    Have several other friends at WKU that I have yet to hear from. So, prayers/kind thoughts would be appreciated.

    According to the school site, there has been no verification of shots.

    Still, fingers crossed for all involved.



    edit: Apparently the school site is well behind, as CNN's story has school officials verifying shots fired.

    I'm a WKU grad and my brother just spoke to his girlfriend (still a student) and said SWAT teams were on the campus and she is locked in the student center.

    The College Heights Herald says someone has been detained. http://media.www.wkuherald.com/media/storage/paper603/news/2008/10/21/BreakingNews/Someone.Detained.For.Questioning.In.Shots.Fired.Investigation-3499604.shtml

    There's really nothing funny about this right now. So uh, don't no one try to be a fucking comedian, ok?

    http://www.wkuherald.com/ The lockdown has been lifted, and there's been no confirmation of weapons.
