Apparently, two of them were armed and did hurt themselves.  Make you feel
better about it, Wayne?

Different sides of the same coin:

 

And no one was armed and could defend themselves.

3 wounded in Houston college shooting






CNN) -- Three people, at least two of them students, were wounded in a
shooting on a Texas community college campus Tuesday, a school spokesman
said.


One of the shooters at the North Harris Campus of Lone Star College was
among the wounded and is in custody, spokesman Jed Young said. The other
shooter fled the campus, he said.


Authorities were searching for a suspect in a wooded area next to the
campus, a law enforcement source said.


A fourth person at the college suffered a heart attack during the
shooting, according to a federal law enforcement official who received
reports from the scene. Reports indicate the shooting occurred at the
school's library, the official said.


"The police believe the danger has been mitigated," Young said.
One suspect is in custody, Harris County Sheriff's Office spokesman Thomas
Gilliland said in a written statement. "Their role in this incident is
under investigation."


There were more than 10,000 students on the campus at the time of the
shooting, Young said. The campus was evacuated and closed for the
remainder of the day, according to a post on the school's website.


"I'm still hoping that all of my friend are OK," said Amanda Vasquez, a
freshman at the college who heard at least six shots go off while she was
in English class. "I didn't really see any of my friends afterward. I was
just trying to get to my parents."


Police and emergency responders swarmed an entrance to the campus, aerial
video from KPRC showed.


Lone Star College student Brittany Mobley told CNN affiliate KHOUthat she
saw the shooting.


"I saw two dudes basically get into an altercation and ... the dude that
shot, he basically got angry and you know started shooting the other guy,"
said Mobley. "A lot of people heard a lot of shots."


Medical personnel were seen treating at least two people and moving them
to ambulances. One person appeared to be handcuffed to a stretcher.


Students were jogging away from some buildings, with their hands up in the
air, presumably in response to police instruction.


"I heard no less than five shots and I just ran," one student told CNN
affiliate KTRK. "My heart was pounding. I was praying I wouldn't hear
anymore shots. I was with a bunch of other people running and someone
yelled out, 'don't push!' People were crying, I had tears in my eyes."


Another witness told KTRK he saw blood on the ground and someone shot in
the leg.


"Beside him, there was one guy in handcuffs," he said.


"I just heard somebody screaming and then after that I heard the shots,"
another student told KPRC.


A spokesman for Texas Gov. Rick Perry said the governor's office was
monitoring the situation.


"His thoughts and prayers are with those who have been impacted,"
spokesman Josh Havens said.


The Lone Star College system is the largest institution of higher
education in the Houston area, and the fastest-growing community college
system in Texas, according to its website.
