The third person was found dead at another location.
Casper Police Chief Chris Walsh told the Star Tribune no suspects were at large and no additional injuries were reported.
Earlier, Casper College spokesman Rich Fujita said the incident involved a crossbow or another similar weapon, Fujita said.

No additional information was immediately available, Fujita said.
Casper College in Casper — four hours north of Denver — was the state’s first junior college when established in 1945 and currently has roughly 5,000 enrolled students, according to its website."

Lets consider banning all crossbows in the United States because they have been used to kill other human beings. Your thoughts?

oh jaylock how are you not permabaned

OT: yes ban all weapons including fist and feet, kitchen knives, basically everything.

Your ridiculous attempt to smear the pro-gun control people on this forum is actually a good suggestion. All items made specifically to kill and maim should be either banned or controlled carefully, crossbows included.

Also you can't ban kitchen knives, they are needed for things... like preparing food.

My thoughts are this is a sensational story you're trying to use to make a silly argument.

Its a legitimate story, I dont see how im trying to make a "silly arguement" as you put it.

What do you think about weapons of this nature being in the hands of the every day person? Do you think we should ban them in the United States?

everything should be banned, if it is a thing it should be banned.

Its poking at arguments people have been making about gun control. "Someone got killed with a ban, hence we must ban all guns".

[Jaylock]

everything should be banned, if it is a thing it should be banned.

Now you are just being ridiculous.

[Gamdwelf]

Now you are just being ridiculous.

no, everything can be dangerous so we should bann all things.

Yes, I understand the argument.

[Bathory]

ban ALL the things!

[Hoky]

How about we ban the Human brain, and whilst we are at it those of monkeys. It is after all the things that makes us use tools to kill each other. It also removes any argument currently going on about what to ban!

If crossbows were being used on a regular basis to kill people in the US, yes, I would support their ban, as crossbows are not required for other functions and their ban might reduce the number of deaths from crossbow injuries.

As crossbow-related murders are exceedingly rare in the US, however, I tend to say no, it's unnecessary to ban them.

Well at least they shouldn't be handed out like candy to nutjobs.

[Auloria]

Hey hey hey, how's Illidan going to . . . prepare . . . his turkey on Thanksgiving without his oversized knives?

[Neurodilation]

Ban ban ban!

And then once everything is banned, we can sit around and sing together while hugging.

[Quoth]

Now you are just being ridiculous.

Next you'll want to ban sticks and string so no one can make bows out of them.

[Kraenen]

Let's ban all people.
