LucyStoner Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 That's extremely unfortunate. At least it looks like they may all survive. I lived 1/2 block to 2 blocks away from that campus from ages 12-16 while my dad went there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnM Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 My BFF's son was in the building. He is very shaken. My friend had to pick him up because they made him leave his backpack in the building with his bus pass. It is horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnM Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 This isn't even a public school, it is a small private University.

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I'm watching local coverage now. I hadn't realized how much it would impact me seeing the buildings and knowing exactly what it looked like inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnM Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Oops, we were posting at the same time. I know, it really hits home. (although I will admit that the science building didn't see me too often!~) I'm watching local coverage now.

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 King 5. There is a lot they don't know yet or can't release because CSI and/or detectives are still investigating. The shooter "was not a student at this time". I don't think they are saying that he necessarily was a student before but just that he is not enrolled. A security guard pepper sprayed the shooter when he went to reload and I think other students then helped to bring him down (they were a bit hazy on the details).

DawnM Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Thanks. That is most of what I had heard earlier. Very sad for the family who lost a loved one today. King 5.

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Yes. My thought with all school shootings is that they are so young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cammie Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 He was stopped by a very brave student who took his own life in his hands to take advantage of the time when the shooter was reloading. That student saved untold numbers of lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 He was stopped by a very brave student who took his own life in his hands to take advantage of the time when the shooter was reloading. That student saved untold numbers of lives. The student building monitor got the shooter with pepper spray while the shooter was reloading. Other students then piled on to keep him down. Sounds like SPU also had a good and DRILLED lockdown procedure. My sister's alma mater, and where I had hoped to attend (but my dad lost his job so the tuition was too much). So sorry for the families of the slain and wounded students. It was the last day of school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 http://www.kirotv.com/news/news/shooting-seattle-pacific-university/ngFbf/ Now they say that the shooter was obsessed with Columbine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 So thankful he was stopped. It could have indeed been far more tragic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Want to hear something really ironic? My BFF got her son out of Otto Miller hall and last night he told her he just found out yesterday he got the job he had applied for for next school year.........a security guard for Otto Miller. :crying: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Dawn, the school really is safe in the sense that it was apparently a random choice of target. The shooter wasn't even from there and didn't have a beef against anyone there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Oh, I agree......but it was very crazy timing! Where Otto Miller Hall is located is on the main street, so definitely the easiest target. I am watching the service at SPU online. Dawn Dawn, the school really is safe in the sense that it was apparently a random choice of target.

Kathryn Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 http://www.kirotv.com/news/news/jon-meis-seattle-pacific-university-student-who-st/ngF3J/ This is really sweet. The guy who stopped the shooter is engaged and random people are buying things off their registries for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indigomama Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Just heard about this from a friend. I attended there as well. Though, I didn't graduate from there. This is so sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
