"At one time I was very against arming teachers or allowing qualified students to carry on campus. I’m not any more. These maniacs go to those schools KNOWING that their’s will be the only gun there - until police arrive. And that can take minutes."
-NIU Police Chief Donald Grady
"This one, like some others before him, even stopped to reload. One gun. That’s all it would have taken. But that campus, like all the others, is a “gun free zone”."

Our local newspaper carried the story, and the article said the shooter had been off his medication. I can only assume that was PROBABLY psych drugs...Now...do we even want to open up that can of worms?? What kind of inference does that throw on the subject? Was he under mental care? A regular physician's care? Who? Someone knew he was taking this stuff, if indeed that was the case. Should that Doctor play any role in the responsibility of what happened, and to what extent? After all, someone wrote that prescription, did they not?? Should there be any liability to report to "authorities" persons who are taking mind-altering drugs?
