Shooting at Marine Corps Base Quantico
« on: March 22, 2013, 11:05:58 am »
Shooter killed himself, and others at the Officer Candidate School.

Quote
All three, including a male and a female hostage, were active duty Marines assigned to the Officer Candidate School, according to Col. David Maxwell, the base commander.

"This is truly a tragic loss again for the Marine Corps, which has had a number of tragic losses in the last couple of weeks," he said.

The shooting came four days after seven Marines were killed when a mortar exploded during a training exercise Monday night at a training facility and Army munitions depot in Nevada.

Surprised more people haven't said anything about this. It's horrific, and perhaps it shows a need for good mental health care, especially in the military. But this is very serious indeed. Just wish it wouldn't take moments like this to get people to take it seriously.
