This is not going to help with the current climate being what it is. >:(

"...after an altercation between two students."

Tragic, but not even close to being a mass murder situation that everyone is focusing on. No different than the shootings that take place multiple times a day on Cali and New York streets. But since it happened on a campus, you can bet that the anti-gun crowd will spin it until it is the next Columbine.

Just another case of the media hoping for another mass shooting to sell advertisements.

I am sure they are hoping there is either a "assault weapon" or it was a showdown between a couple of CCW holders shooting innocent bystanders.

It appears to be gang related.  The media has dropped it already because there was no white male with an AR or AK.  Two minorities with a handgun blends in with the day to day noise from Chicago and D.C.  :(

They will hype ANY shooting as being at a school, even if it is over 3 blocks from Swami Salami's School of Holistic Therapy. This is how deep the bias runs against us.

Just another day in the big city of Houston. Only reason this made news at all is because it happened on a college campus.
