Campus killing claims three in Wyoming...

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by krispos42 (a host of the Gun Control & RKBA group).

"An attack at a community college in central Wyoming and another location nearby left three people dead Friday morning -- a faculty member, another person and the suspect, who police say used a sharp-edged weapon in the killings."

The suspect evidently killed two persons in a science building, then left. He was found dead about two miles away. Evidently, he was able to kill with the "sharp-edged weapon," then leave. The reason for posting this is to illustrate how someone with a cutting instrument can create mayhem (and leave afterward), and how anyone who is bent on murder will do so with or without a gun.

I despair at finding a working link in some newspapers.

It's a knife crime, an archery crime, and doesn't fall under the SoP of the Group. It might make a good argument in a discussion thread, but not in an OP.
