It seems that the shootings are old story by now and the guns were not exatcly the problem like some people wanted to show. I still want to know if someone will release a petition to banned knives, I wouldn't be surprise then
_________________ The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death — however mutable man may be able to make them — our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light

Hanson said the suspect was invited to the party, not far from campus. He showed up after working his shift at a grocery store and was welcomed inside.
There had earlier been about 30 people at the party, which neighbours described as quiet and low-key. That number had dwindled to about 20 when violence erupted shortly after 1 a.m.
Hanson said the suspect allegedly brought a weapon, or "instrument,'' from work to the party, but grabbed a large knife from inside the house.
He "targeted the victims one by one, stabbing them several times,'' said the chief.
Another article by the Huffington Post which names some of the victims. Interesting that De Good seems to have been identified as the son of a senior police officer.
