Shooting across the street

Guys, I'm at work - and this is right across the street from me.

http://www.kcbs.com/3-Shot-Dead-in-Santa-Clara/3322961

I'm listening to their live broadcast and the shooter has been identified as an Asian male . From what I've heard, the guy got laid off from work and decided to go postal.

Scary stuff to see RIGHT OUTSIDE MY OFFICE WINDOW!

I wouldn't be surprised if the shooter was one of the 3.

Hey guys, thanks for the wishes of safety. I made it out clear, it's not as exciting or dangerous as it sounds, though I was right across the street.

I only know as much as you guys know about the incident. It's just crazy that something like this happened so close to me.

You know, it's funny you ask that - I do not recall hearing any shots, and I was actually thinking about if I had heard the shots or not earlier tonight. Either the buildings are super sound proofed or the guy had a silencer.

shots inside of a building are suprisingly quit. especially if there are many objects to divert the sound.

obviously handguns are going to be a lot more quiet than rifles or shotguns.

i cant be positive, but im willing to bet the guy didnt use a silencer.

are silencers illegal? cuz you never here of any of these crazy stories involving silencers.

Though owning a silencer pretty much admits youre up to no good.
