WASHINGTON — The idea of an active shooter nearby is terrifying, but University of Maryland police are asking students and staff to prepare for the worst as it’s become a reality on campuses across the country.
A letter that went out to students and staff from the University of Maryland Police Chief David Mitchell asks them to ponder being confronted by a shooter on campus. He wants to planfor a crisis rather than be blindsided by it, citing recent school shootings across the country.
“Certainly Oregon and Texas are the most recent examples. We’re well aware of that on this campus,” Mitchell tells WTOP. In less than a week there were fatal shootings at campuses in both those states, as well as Arizona.

Another gun free zone, precious.
OF course because a certain number of killings a month are permissible in America.
I just wonder how one in to prepare for a shooter? Hell I've been around for 72 years , the only way I know is to fight fire with fire , all should be able to have gun permits. I do , the 2nd amendment.
When I was in Korea we didn't throw rocks at the north Koreans because they had guns with bullets. Anyway , Let me know if anyone has a solution on preparing for a shooter , other than shooting back.
Obama sending another shooter out there to further his agenda?
Another reason to have a carry permit, but I suppose that doesn't make good common sense to the left side
They are joking,right?

The Korean War ended July 1953. you were 10.
How the hell do you know how old he is? And his statement is fact. The only way to be prepared for a gunman is to have a gun.
Now ... The question is, when will Maryland have its campus/school shooting. The way things have played out.... I can see it happening now and the almighty cops tried to warn us ahead of time. This announcement is nothing more than a heads up that the government is going to kill Maryland students next.
524, I agree. And the same crying girl on her cellphone will be a player as well! As soon as all the actors are in place, and the desired lunatic is found and given enough drugs and guns to do the job, it will happen.
Carry every day, and now especially at the newly "planned" shoot site, the U of M,whichever branch it may be!
5:24 just what else do you see?
Poorly administered psychotropic drugs combined with crazy liberals they are dispensed to are the root of all of this evil. Probabilities are reliable that UMD has their share of the demographic.
UMES ! And racism will be screamed.
He said he has been around for 72 years. 2015 minus 72 equals 1943, so he would be 10 years old in 1953, but hey, whatever you say, cool guy.
The best way to be prepared is to be armed and ready to fight back. The school wont allow that though!
