I don't know if anyone heard this. It happened in Binghamton NY, about a mile from where I live. All over the news.
He had about 41 hostages and killed 13 people, and after all of, he killed himself in fear of being prosecuted.
Anyone heard about this by chance?

Around an hour away from me, too. Apparently it's contained, but that's all I know.

Woah, that's crazy...
I rarely watch the news though.

Yeah, shooting in Syracuse University, right? Thats pretty close to one of the zones I was thinking about going to college in. Plus, my sister goes to college up there too. It's terrible, but I did hear about it. I heard on the news it was at some immigration-support group or something like that. Not entirely sure.

No, in Binghamton. It was in the Immigration Office across the street from the Binghamton High School.

Ah, I knew it was a school, but someone said it was Syracuse.. Oh well. Thanks for the clarification. (You live closer, so you would know, heh.)

Always a good idea to search for information on these things that comes as directly from the source as possible, or else you end up with a lot of confusion. I would suggest looking up the websites for newspapers, news broadcasts, or news radio shows that are local to the area of the incident, and read more than one report.
That said, my heart goes out to the hostages and victims. That situation should never happen to anyone.

Yeah, for all of us.
