“I’d like a .45, to go, please”

Trey Perkins, who was sitting in a German

class in Norris Hall, told The Washington Post that the gunman barged

into the room at about 9:50 a.m. and opened fire for about a minute and

a half, squeezing off 30 shots in all.

The

gunman, Perkins said, first shot the professor in the head and then

fired on the students. Perkins said the gunman was about 19 years old

and had a "very serious but very calm look on his face."

I’d rather not call and wait for campus security. Unfortunately, UTSA, like VPI, is a gun-free zone.

Update (17 April). One of the dead was a Holocaust survivor. He stayed behind to make sure his students could escape to safety.  Where do we get men like this? Sometimes from Israel.
