Shooting at University

Post Reply New Topic

Today a tragic event took place at my university here in Pécs, Hungary. A 23 year old hungarian student opened fire during a biophysics lecture, killing a fellow student as well as injuring four others. We heard the shots from the neighbouring building during an anatomy practice.

Apparently, the student who committed the crime was regarded as a kind, shy, intelligent, non-violent student who mostly kept to himself. They claim he had some personal problems...

This kind of thing seems to happen more and more. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that he had been marginalized his whole life. I'm sorry he made a choice that made innocent people suffer. I live about an hour from Va Tech which was the site of the worst school shooting in US history. My nephew's friend was one of the slain. He had hung out with her just a few days before.
