CENTER CITY (WPVI) -- The man who reportedly displayed a gun inside a building at the main campus of the Community College of Philadelphia is now in custody.

Police confirmed shortly after 2pm that 23-year-old Ryan Martinez Fitch was taken into custody at his apartment building in the 9500 block of State Road in Northeast Philadelphia.

Police were called to the college at 17th and Spring Garden after a report of a man with a gun came in around 12 p.m. Wednesday.

A student interviewed by Action News reporter Kenneth Moton said the suspect entered a room and there may have been some kind of argument. That person then reportedly displayed a gun.

If only all students were armed on campus. Then this terrible tragedy could have been avoided with a campus wide firefight...

Oh, wait...

1. When, oh, when will Congress pass a law requiring forehead gun implants at birth?

That's the ONLY solution to the gun problem. I know, because the NRA told me so.

4. I shot my way out of the womb

You can bet the doctor was surprised.

[AAO]

7. I thought the Fembots had a nice pair of guns.

2. Guess you won't do that again, will you, asshole?

Shitheads think the only way to end an argument in their favor is with a gun...

3. I think it's even worse than that.

Some are emboldened to seek out conflict they would otherwise avoid, knowing they have the concealed trump card.

IMHO-
Zimmerman would never have followed Trayvon Martin if not carrying a gun.
The retired cop who murdered the young father in a movie theater shooting...same thing.
etc
etc
etc

5. I think you're right.

6. Add...

...to that the 1000s of young black men killed by each other every year - but no one ever seems to care about this epidemic.

They kill each other over the slightest offense and get forgotten by everyone...

Easy access to guns is an epidemic....our most vulnerable citizens are punished for this

8. That reminds me of a quote from Chris Rock:

"Why spend the next 20 years in jail cause somebody smudged your Puma?"

10. This is such a massive problem here in Chicago, that it

is almost routinized.

Chicago has some strict gun laws, but our red-state neighbor, Indiana, has extremely lax gun laws.
Gary and Crown Point are two towns where much of the gun traffic flows into Chicago from.
In Gary, much of the trade is underground sales and small gun shops, but in Crown Point there are frequent guns shows pushing this junk.
The South Side gangs reportedly have 1-2 members who are forced to keep out of the fray in order to keep clean criminal records, so they can act in the role of straw-buyer in other states.

9. yep.

sad to say there seem to be a substantial number of people itching for the chance to kill.
