University of Central Florida Tragedy

Early this morning The University of Central Florida had to close their campus due to a horrific accident.  A suicide had occurred on the campus leaving The  University of Central Florida in shock.  The scariest part?  The police found a handgun, assault weapon, and explosives where the student had taken his own life.

This is a horrible incident that should be handled appropriately.  When the news first broke this morning I began to think of how much something like this affects a college campus.  The atmosphere at that University must be unbearable.

It was scary to know that despite the handgun which the student took his own life with, there were other weapons found.  An assault weapon, and explosives are sure signs of a person preparing for something.  This nation has had enough senseless slaughters.

What if this student taking his own life was his way of stopping himself from harming others?
Until we hear more from this case, all we have is questions.

I made this post as a simple gesture to get people thinking.  If you see something, just say something.  Who knows if any of the three other roommates knew that this student had these weapons in his possession?  Situations like this cannot be ignored.  It is just sad that a life was lost.

If you hear or see anything suspicious contact your campus security, or even better the police.

Who knows if your voice could be what saves multiple lives.
