St. Louis College Shooting: At Least 1 Dead At School Shooting



A day before Obama is set to unveil his gun violence measures, there has been another school shooting. At least 1 person (confirmed: the shooter) is dead at a college shooting in Missouri.

The even will likely play into Obama's gun control speech, set for Wednesday. In that speech, Obama will likely seek an assault weapons ban and will look to strengthen background checks for gun buyers.

Will this event impact the on-going gun debate?

STLToday is reporting on the shooting:

A shooting has been reported at the Stevens Institute of Business and Arts at 1521 Washington Avenue.

At least one person was injured by the gunman, according to police scanner traffic. The suspected gunman, believed to be a 21-year-old man, was reported to have shot himself.

Two men were brought from the building on stretchers and loaded into ambulances. One left immediately while the other was idling in front of the building.

Nearly two dozen squad cars are out around the building. Helicopters are flying overhead.

SWAT teams were moving through the building ensuring each floor was clear.

Authorities have closed off Washington Avenue between 15th and 18th streets and St. Charles Avenue at 14th Street.

****.... ROFL

Shootings are always going to happen in "Gun Free Zones"

yeah you certainly never hear about the self defense shootings on the news.

You do realize that your OP says "someone got shot in St. Louis"?

more people should be armed

Why would you make a thread about this?

Because this is somehow more important or noteworthy than a shooting that happened in front of a quik trip?

You never see a shooting at a gun show.

Just saying.

Boy, 8, Shoots Self With Uzi at Gun Show

With an instructor watching, an 8-year-old boy at a gun fair aimed an Uzi submachine gun at a pumpkin and pulled the trigger as his dad reached for a camera.

It was his first time shooting a fully automatic gun, and the recoil of the weapon was too much for him. He lost control and fatally shot himself in the head.

Now gun safety experts — and some gun enthusiasts at the club where the shooting happened — are wondering why such a young child was allowed to fire a weapon used in war. Local, state and federal authorities are also investigating whether everyone involved had proper licenses or if anyone committed a criminal act.

"It's easy to lose control of a weapon like that ... they are used on a battleground for a very good reason," said Jerry Belair, a spokesman for Stop Handgun Violence, based in Newton, Massachusetts. "It's to shoot as many times as you possibly can without having to reload at an enemy that's approaching. It's not a toy. It's not something to play with."

Police said Christopher Bizilj of Ashford, Connecticut, was pronounced dead at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Massachusetts, on Sunday afternoon, shortly after firing a 9mm micro Uzi submachine gun at the Machine Gun Shoot and Firearms Expo at the Westfield Sportsman's Club, co-sponsored by C.O.P. Firearms & Training.

"The weapon was loaded and ready to fire," Westfield police Lt. Hipolito Nunez said. "The 8-year-old victim had the Uzi and as he was firing the weapon, the front end of the weapon went up with the backfire and he ended up receiving a round in his head."

Nunez said the investigation is continuing.

Christopher was attending the show with his father and older brother, Colin. Christopher had fired handguns and rifles before, but Sunday was his first time firing an automatic weapon, said his father, Charles Bizilj.

Bizilj told the Boston Globe he was about 10 feet (three meters) behind his son and reaching for his camera when the weapon fired. He said his family avoided the larger weapons, but he let his son try the Uzi because it is a small weapon with little recoil.

"This accident was truly a mystery to me," said Bizilj, director of emergency medicine at Johnson Memorial Hospital in Stafford, Connecticut. "This is a horrible event, a horrible travesty, and I really don't know why it happened."

Police are calling the shooting an accident but are investigating whether everyone connected with the incident had proper weapons permits. Massachusetts requires licenses to own firearms, and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives issues different licenses to possess machine guns.

The machine gun shoot drew hundreds of people from as far away as Maine and Virginia. An advertisement said it would include machine gun demonstrations and rentals and free handgun lessons.

"It's all legal & fun — No permits or licenses required!!!!" reads the ad, posted on the club's Web site.

"You will be accompanied to the firing line with a Certified Instructor to guide you. But You Are In Control — "FULL AUTO ROCK & ROLL," the ad said.

The ad also said children under 16 would be admitted free, and both adults and children were offered free .22-caliber pistol and rifle shooting.

Massachusetts has some of the strictest gun laws in the U.S. It is legal in Massachusetts for children to fire a weapon if they have permission from a parent or legal guardian and they are supervised by a properly certified and licensed instructor, Nunez said. The name of the instructor who was with the boy at the time was not released.

"We do not know at this time the full facts of this incident," Nunez said Monday.

Couldn't have teed it up any higher....

This thread sucks

yeah I ****ed that up

it's another shooting at a school.
I thought people might be interested.
what a stupid question.

why do you ask stupid questions?

so does Nebraska basketball

This wasn't a "shooting" though.

Just a dumbass playing with his gun.

"We've been kicking ass for 200 years! We're 10 and 1!"

this

THE GUN DID IT BECAUSE GUNS ARE EVIL AND SELF AWARE

BAN TEH GUNZ

You mean a dumbass who let his 8 year old shoot an Uzi.

glad dad got it on camera. he should be forced to view the footage every day for the rest of his idiot life.

This .

LMAO

Skynet is activated. Prepare your anus.

Since it was at a school, I'm gonna assume its a gun-free zone.

:stupid:

Y u mad tho?

If people don't want to get shot they should arm themselves /NRA

I love guns, see for yourself.

People drown every day in bath tubs and swimming pools and lakes and Rivers.

We should ban Assault Water!

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/09/...n-high-school/

Any chance we can get a bill outlawing assault knives?

This is all propaganda and the thread starter making a thread like this just feeds into it.

You think she'd have a better chance of surviving multiple gunshot wounds?

WHAT?!? NO WAY!!! :eek:

there's laws banning assault with different degrees of severity. That should be enough.

I think banning guns would be an interesting idea if no murders had ever occurred prior to their creation, if it wasn't unconstitutional, if the banning included all governments being banned from having them, and if nothing else was available to kill people. I don't think that's the case, though.

That's not what I asked, but :thumb:.

St Louis. A school called an Institute. Ok.

Back to the new stadium discussion.

The Terminator had it all wrong. He should've just visited John Connor as a kid in the 2nd movie and put the Uzi in his garage. Then observed from across the street as he shoots himself in the head while playign with it. Of course, wouldn't make for a very good movie, but it would be the right strategy.

Sorry... Your question was unanswerable as asked, because it would depend on numbers and locations.

Same number of gun wounds in the same locations.

Google gun wound vs knife wound. Lemme know what you find.

No iwas not aware a school got shot up every day

yeah I know right. sooooo stupid making a thread about a shooting at a school. ROFL

propaganda. jfc.
