For the second time in two weeks, a gunman opened fire on a college campus in Seattle, killing one and injuring three others. The gunman, who wasn’t immediately identified, entered into a science and engineering building at Seattle Pacific University yesterday and began firing on people in the foyer. A student security guard disarmed the shooter with pepper spray when he paused to reload. Seattle Mayor Ed Murry told reporters that, “once again the epidemic of gun violence has come to Seattle, the epidemic of gun violence that is haunting this nation.” This shooting is the latest in gun violence at educational facilities. On May 23, six people were killed by a man who went on a stabbing and shooting rampage in Isla Vista, California, near the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara. In 2012, 20 children and six educators were killed by a gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. The deadliest shooting in the U.S. was in 2007 at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, known as Virginia Tech, where Seung-Hui Cho took 33 lives, including his own. NOTICE A TREND HERE? Individuals always seem to open fire on educational institutions. There is plenty of public spaces with dense populations, but shooters always seem to pick schools. Do you think that’s because teachers and professors, who tend to be more liberal, are more likely to advocate gun control laws? It just so happens that this latest shooting was done at a schools scientific building and as we all know, scientists tend to be liberal atheists (even though this was at a Christian university).
