Tragedy at University

Yesterday while I was in class, at another building on campus, a university student shot and killed another student, wounding three others. This was a shock to me as both the town and the country seem safer than the States. It was also a shock to my students, and I am told this is the first ever shooting by a university student in the country. I had just made my post on the globalization of cultural products, and I hate to think that the idea for things like this come from the news reports of simliar incidents elsewhere. Some parts of western culture are not good to import.
