A man & a woman were killed in Gould Hall this morning. Sources are saying that the man has been stalking the woman, and that it was probably a murder/suicide:
They report that the female victim and her sister had gotten restraining orders against the alleged gunman.

Thanks for the link, DeltAlum. When I first saw this on the news, I thought students were involved. The fact that the victim & the killer weren't doesn't make it any less tragic.
So often, women are afraid to get restraining orders, because they feel that the orders put "a target on their backs". There really needs to be a better way to handle domestic violence. I wish I could offer some suggestions, other than changing one's identity & moving.

From what they tell us... The "couple" were in their 30's and the guy may have killed the girl, then turn the gun in on himself.
I dunno. But it happenend in the Architectual and Design Building--Gould Hall. Those Architects and Design grad students!
Let's just say, the kids were pissed that professors would act this way. Or rather seeing so much police presence, which is probably a good thing. 'Cuz dude could have taking some kids out.

This is a case of domestic violence... Homegirl did everything she could legally do with this kind of escalating situation. This guy she hooked up with was crazy. So she got the restraining order and was in the process of pressing charges but the order couldn't be served because the po po couldn't find dude and asked for more time...
It is all wrong.
And they have a law that no one can carry guns on campus except po po, and military personnel with official approval. Workers are not allowed to carry weapons.
I hope the family of this girl sues the school like no tomorrow. I don't know how, but somebody needs to come out some money.
