Armed Virginia Students

Once Upon A Time

Unarmed and a victom
On Jan. 16, 2002, Peter Odighizuwa, a 43-year-old student from Nigeria, walked into the Appalachian School of Law offices of Dean Anthony Sutin, 42, a former acting assistant U.S. attorney, and professor Thomas Blackwell, 41, and opened fire with a .380 ACP semi-automatic handgun – shooting them at close range.

Also killed in the same building was student Angela Denise Dales, 33. Three others were wounded.

As soon as the gunfire erupted, two students acting independently of one another, Tracy Bridges and Mikael Gross, ran to their vehicles to retrieve firearms. Gross, an off-duty police officer in his home state of North Carolina, got his 9mm pistol and body armor. Bridges got out his .357 Magnum.

Bridges and Gross went back to the building where the shots were heard and as Odighizuwa exited, they approached from different angles. Bridges yelled for him to drop his weapon and the shooter was subdued by several unarmed students.

Gross went back to his car and got handcuffs to detain the shooter until police arrived.

Then the Virginia state legislature banned guns on college campuses

Yeah, but he was a cop, he was probably required to say that and unfortunately the piece of S**t listened. I'm sure he was a little disappointed. I was told by an officer that in your home you shoot them dead and then put one in the ceiling, that was your warning shot. Ballistics can't tell which was first. Probably helps to know where your A/C unit is.
