BREAKING: Shooting At University Of South Carolina, Two Dead
A little after 1 p.m. EST this afternoon, police responded to a shooting on the Columbia campus at the Public Health Research Center.
The above text message alert was sent to USC’s 25,000+ students, and all buildings were put on lockdown. Students have since been released as police have confirmed there is no longer an active shooter, but the Public Health Research Center is closed for the remainder of the day.
Two bodies have been found and the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) is investigating an apparent murder-suicide. As of now, no names have been released and it’s unclear whether or not the deceased are students, faculty, or connected with the university at all.
We’ll update as more details unfold.

11 years ago at 3:18 pmGoddammit, the same thing just happened a few days ago at Miami of Ohio, albeit not on campus. I dont know if its the advent of social media and being connected with everything in an instant or what, but it seems like scenarios like this are becoming all too frequent at college campuses. Just last year someone ran through our campus and fired off a handgun a few times. Although it wasnt a student, each one of those shot could have easily ended someones life. Stay safe out there, guys.

11 years ago at 3:39 pmSame thing happened at a high school in my hometown, one kid stabbed another one over a snapchat that was sent to his girlfriend. Sad to see how social media is affecting our generation.
